You Tube, My Space are very simple ideas, I could have exact clone duplicate scripts made in a week, you can even by duplicate scripts for $99 off some websites....But that is not the point, These sites and countless others have one thing in common, It is called the First Mover Advantage. The lads behind these sites actually got off their butts and made it happen. How many times have you thought "What a simple idea" or “I could have done that”. The fact of the matter is we all have missed countless opportunities that could have paid off big time.

Remember the stupid pixel advertising site “The Million Dollar Homepage” . This kid sold worthless pixels and made millions, I think he made over a million by double selling pixels and he made another 5 million through other promotions on his site.

It was a stupid idea but he had the First Mover Advantage, I know for a fact that VodaHost hosted over 200 copycat pixel sites that almost all have closed down by now.

The point is when you see a opportunity, Grab it! Do it! Make it Happen! or else sit back and watch in amazement as the pixel boy rakes in the cash.
