the methodology is simple

give away sample of ALL your ideas just make sure that it can expand into bigger if someone likes it and is willing to pay for it.

Wil wheaton did it




he did the one review for free, release it under CC-SA

and the fans spread it because they were allowed

until someone with the power decide it was worth while PAYING him to do those type of reviews for ALL the TNG episodes.



If what your doing is good quality, that people want to share because it good quality

It a simple three step process

1. produce the shit
2. release it under CC-SA
3. share it with your circle of friends.

There are tons of things you can do to improve expand that base (ppc, youtube optimization, seo, torrent optimization, etc) but if your shit is good , you don't need more than those 3 things.

If your shit sucks, there is no marketing crutch to prop you up.

But that marketing crutch doesn't really exist any more anyway
