Yeah that last part's the problem. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. RSS doesn't have a viable business case. Average users need a reason to invest themselves in it, and business owners need to see that it generates its own source of revenue [greater than whatever else they've got going on]. Even if you have answers for both of those things, you have to show people it for them to accept it ("show me the money")
