One day at SXSW

This year was my friend Amy's first time at SXSW. I started off my day at the tech career fair and then met Amy for lunch. We went to a mac-n-cheese lounge and met Gary Vaynerchuk. I was soooo excited to meet him love his book The Thank You Economy and loving Crush it. Wanted to ask him to sign my book but was way too excited. Joined some new friends and trolley hopped from there. Ended at the Ginger Man hanging with some fun Canadians who gave me great advice about my job search. For one week a year geeks from all over come to Austin for a week of panels and fun. Had another awesome SX experience! Met lots of great people and look forward to the music part of SXSW.
We met Gary Vaynerchuk SXSW bucketlist !

Pinterest for business and branding

  1. Pinterest is a virtual bulletin board and can be used to promote your business or personal brand
  2. Is linkable to sites like Etsy to sell your products
  3. Pinterest is more profitable for your small business than Facebook because it has a larger reach in your demographic
  4. It is easy to use even my mom has one...and she can't work our DVD player!
