I had a bunch of odd jobs to kind of piece together my rent, and one of my jobs was I was a coconut water, I guess like a marketing girl, where we would just go to various places in New York and hand them out for free, get people to try them and I really didn't like that job.

JA: I think I was definitely toying with the idea of law school. When we started Betches, I had actually already graduated college. I had graduated a semester early, so I was kind of hanging out, trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life anyway. I had interned for a PR company. I really was kind of all over the place.

I'd also interned for Senator [ Kirsten ] Gillibrand in New York, so I really liked trying to try everything, but I think if I couldn't have figured it out, I probably would've gone to law school. A post shared by Jordana Abraham jordanaabraham. How did it all really begin? JA: We lived together our senior year of college and it was our second semester and I had already graduated. So we had a lot of time on our hands and it really just started late one night sort of as a funny kind of joke.

We were all very into writing and being funny and it kind of came about from just wanting to really comment on the world around us. We were in the thick of college life and, I think in a way, wanting to critique these sort of absurdities of the way people around us—including ourselves—were drinking or dieting or dating, but without being too much of a hater because we were still doing it, too, but just to comment on it and satirize it.

When we started, it was a WordPress blog, betcheslovethissite. We put it on one person's Facebook wall in —so that was still an acceptable thing to do—and it really just went kind of viral from there. And it was funny because we thought we were really just describing ourselves and our friends, and it really caught on to people all over the country or, even in some cases, out of the country, who felt they could relate to this lifestyle or just this way of thinking or this snarkiness that I think we really personified in this tone of this caricature.

JA: It definitely wasn't an immediate thing. I think we always had a sense of, "Well, we're in college and we're graduating and so, we don't really have other jobs that are really exciting. That didn't actually wind up panning out to anything, but I think that email was like, "Oh, someone who's serious likes this, and so we must be onto something.

One of our friends' brothers was an agent at one of the big agencies and he put us in touch with a book agent who was like, "I think these blog posts could be turned into a book.

I think these little legitimizing things along the way kind of kept us going until we could wind up really paying for our lifestyles and supporting ourselves with the revenue from the business. JA: Totally. I think exactly like what you said—Social media can make it seem success is also just so linear, and so it's nothing and then it's a thing.

And it's funny, for every great deal you see posted on social media or cool activation, there's usually two or three failed things before that that didn't work out, that set you back, that you don't actually see.

There were definitely moments in the beginning where we were like, "We're not really sure if this is ever going to fully be a viable business. And I think especially in the sense of the three of us not having really been to business school or not really having been in a business mindset, that we were like, "How are we going to turn this into a real business?

We don't know what we're doing" or "There's people who could do this better than us" or "We don't know if what we're doing is right or if this is the right move. The book provides readers with information regarding all aspects of life and focuses a lot on friend groups.

This was the second book published by the Betches. The book provides readers with dating and relationship advice. The book teaches women how to act in order to be prepared to find love, and how to respond when a women does not like her engagement ring.

The women behind the Betches have faced a little bit of backlash in regards to their content. Readers have commented on how the authors speak about taking Adderall to stay focused and being anorexic to stay thin. The post has been removed from the internet. The Betches received multiple comments in regard to the post. One reader came forward saying that her friend had not eaten in two weeks since reading the post.

Despite reader's backlash on the topic of anorexia, the Betches have still discussed the topic on their platforms. A website named Digital America, claims that "betches are proud to be the girls that everyone hates because they view it as a reflection of their superiority". Digital America also explains that betches strive to dominate the social structures set forth today through their use of beauty, wealth, popularity, and their lack of compassion for others.
