Participation is one of the key aspects and ultimately will help you separate yourself from your competition. Most (90%) Internet users are considered “Lurkers”, that is they simply consume content as opposed to creating it. The huge mistake that happens today is that most assume the Internet is overcrowded and therefore there are no opportunities left. That couldn’t be further from the truth.

Think about it, you have access to the greatest, most powerful tool that’s only in its infancy. Right now there are only 1% of the users driving the bus, steering the direction of content. You must realize the opportunity that’s before you.
