That was quite an interesting read. Robert Rich sounds like a very cool guy. It seems to me that this 1000 true fans idea needs some support. If we didn't waste so much money on the corporate media, it'd be very easy to accomplish. Cable TV sucks up, minimum, $600 per year. See a movie once

I think this is just about right on. I've estimated I have about 300 of what Kevin Kelly calls true fans, and I am earning about 1/3 of my living with my self-publishing (in print and eBooks). Over the past three years it has been my objective to shift my position left-ward on the long-tail,
