George, what you built got me thinking.
Creators. Experts. Coaches. Business owners. People with audiences. People who simply have knowledge someone else would pay to access.
The more I looked at the platform through my marketing lens, the more places I could see people using it.
One paid conversation already creates a real platform transaction.
Using a simple $100 paid-session example:
What happens when this gets used at scale?
What happens when people start using this at scale?
What could different levels of usage look like?
Change the assumptions. The point isn't to predict what the platform will do. It's to see how the economics behave as usage grows.
Show paid software-tier assumptions
Transactions don't have to be the only recurring revenue.
If a portion of the people using the platform eventually choose a paid software tier because the additional tools make their business easier, that creates another revenue stream alongside platform usage.
I started thinking about the people I already know.
I've spent years building relationships with marketers, business owners, leaders and people with organizations and audiences of their own.
Not instead of anything else you want to do with the platform. Not instead of direct customers, paid advertising, strategic partnerships, marketplace growth or other channels.
Just one additional Partner-driven distribution channel we could test together.
Instead of relying primarily on traditional paid advertising to find every early Host and customer, what if part of the customer-acquisition economics rewarded the people who actually introduced valuable Hosts and customers to the platform?
My network could start the first wave.
The right model could help create the next ones.
USAGE
The opportunity is to give people a reason to discover Hosts and customers who actually use the platform, create transactions and introduce it to others.
I'm not looking at this as “the new way the platform has to work.”
This doesn't have to change any of the other ways you want to grow the platform.
The platform, product foundation and core capability are already there.
Marketing, relationships, positioning, launch strategy and first-wave reach.
If it works, we'll have something real to build on together.
If we can get this in front of the right people... how many ways could they use it?
Paid conversations are already there. But once I started thinking about creators, coaches, experts, businesses and teams actually using the platform, I started seeing even more possibilities.
