That makes more sense. But you have to keep in mind that the method chosen puts the horse behind the cart.

That method only makes sense if the people whose name recognition you are now coveting will be in some way very closely related (or will even be) the consumers of your eventual product.

Only then it makes sense, or you'll have to go through the whole rigmarole again by the time you are ready to approach your customers, which will have cost you time and effort.

So I would bet that that is the case because otherwise it would not make much sense to cultivate this particular audience.

Again, I'm very impressed with your ability to do this, if you can transport it easily to fields outside of the one you are currently active in (software development) then there probably is a metric ton of money to be made exploiting that talent.

Another problem I foresee with your approach is the timing. If you are right now busy creating a target audience for a product that doesn't exist then you are effectively opening a window of opportunity without the ability to fill it.

If you had used your talent to attract 60,000 prospects to your product you'd be laughing all the way to the bank now, whereas right now all you have is an impulse whose momentum will be long gone by the time you're ready to go to market.

It seems to me that your timing is off, but time will tell.
