I guess that would be a way to do it. I worry, though. What if I’m not trying to sell an ebook? What if I have 5 people on my email list, and they barely open my emails? How then can I trust them to give me feedback of substance?

Here’s the ultimate paradox I’m facing: the people on a place like Medium who need and desire the richest feedback have the smallest audience as a resource for that. The less you need feedback (meaning, the more followers and recommends you have) the more feedback you get.
