This thread makes me sad. You don’t have to guess at things or do math. Just look at the real world and see the examples of v4v working: No Agenda, Jupiter Broadcasting, Podcasting 2.0, etc. Then really listen to the show and reverse engineer how it works.

If your product is high-quality, and you’re honest with people, and you ask them to help, they will. That’s not a guess based on a theory. It’s a fact, based on the last 3 years of my life doing the Podcasting 2.0 podcast every Friday.
