A core problem of the Internet is information oversupply.

Despite this, there are still opportunities to earn visibility online. A list:

• Be more useful. This requires market insight, so that you know what would be more useful to a group of people.
• Be a match for an information-filtering heuristic:
  • "Who has the most succinct, fact-based take on this?"
  • "Who seems to have a no-BS take on this?"
  • "Who can speak from strong experience about this?"
  • "Who is going to make gorging myself with information fun?"
  • "Who can I most easily remember as a source of information on this?"
• Be ubiquitously present within a group. Make your own group if necessary.
• Be more flammable so that you are suitable fuel for the engines that run on little sequential explosions, knowing that you'll become exhaust fumes quite quickly.
• Seek the new+popular, where there is often a temporary reversal of the information oversupply situation.

There are more, but I'm aiming for 200 words or less in these daily emails. :)
