It's pretty simple, but there are a couple of tricks. Once you create and save a franchise file, find it in your saved games and copy it to your USB drive. When you take a look at the files on your USB, you will notice a 'PS3' folder. Inside of that are your saved files. The best thing to do when emailing this is to create a compressed file of that PS3 folder, and email that compressed file. You can rename that file anything you want, but I just leave it as 'PS3'. Understand that when the compressed (or zipped) file is opened, you will see the original 'PS3' folder inside of that compressed folder. The original 'PS3' folder and it's contents are what the recipient needs to copy to his USB. It's important that the PS3 folder and subfolders remain intact, or it will not be read by the PS3. The path has to be the same.

Here's the catch: You cannot use the same franchise file between two different users. The work-around is to create an identical PS3 account that is the same on each console for however many are going to be in your franchise. Use this user account when creating / playing / sharing your offline franchise with others, who must also use that same account when playing the shared franchise.

Hopefully that makes sense.
