for an example of a different model, drew devault, who’s fairly well-known in the free software community, offered $20 to anyone who started a blog, with another $20 if there was an additional 3 posts in the next half year. it seems to have resulted in a number of new blogs, including several that are still active now, 2.5 years later.
I just want to pipe in to say that I think this is a cool example; the structure of “extremely small prize for doing the thing at all” seems like a nice way to build up the funnel of new blogs in a more even-handed way.

Very interesting structure. Will investigate incorporating it into our plans in the future.
