One of the questions we're answering is "How large a group do you need to start a viral campaign?"
This question is actually the top, or apex question of several others; "How long do you want the campaign to remain active?" "How many people do you want to get your message to, total?" "When do you want the campaign to reach maximal efficiency?"
Right now we can give you an interesting piece of information that's falling out of the research.
- A viral campaign following the rules laid out in Yes, You Can Predict Viral Marketing
- Starting with a seed population of thirty (30) self-selected individuals
- Will reach maximal (optimal) dispersion in roughly one (1) year's time.
