I want to teach people to be Growth Hackers / Online Marketers

Me and a group of entrepreneurs who have together built over a dozen tech and internet businesses that cumulatively secured more than $100 million in funding are running a series of weekend Test Drive Online Marketing in SFO for people who are seriously considering becoming an Online Marketer or Growth Hacker. The program will present people with a unique opportunity to “test drive” what it's like being one for a weekend to find out if the career suites them. In 48 hours of learning by doing, attendees will actually build, launch and start marketing a fully functional eCommerce site. We’ve found this approach provides maximum exposure to the full marketing stack and real world marketing problem solving in a short time period. We already have the product lines lined up so people just need to bring their creative and analytical minds, and be ready to learn. We priced the event at $99 which doesn't cover our costs - these weekends are more so a labor of love and way to give back. http://marcademy.com/test-drive/ or http://marcademy.eventbrite.com/
