With such far reaching opportunity you need to be creating a strategy to leverage the use of the Internet. 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.

You must realize the opportunity that’s before you.
