Help in/with
Dear Friends,
I wonder whether my intuition is correct:
'help in' is generally followed by the Gerund or some noun
'help with' is more frequently followed by some noun (rather than by the Gerund)
Thank you for your help.

I doubt that anyone here is in possession of any statistics that might prove your intuition to be correct or incorrect. I'd guess that "help in" is probably more likely to be followed by a gerund than "help with" is. However, both can be followed by either a gerund or a noun.
