This is an astonishing accomplishment for any business owner, and upon asking him about the one strategy he used to accumulate that many clients, he said that he didn’t have one strategy that got 32 clients. He uses THIRTY-TWO INDIVIDUAL marketing techniques the get 1 new person each.

In today’s article I’ll be discussing a few of the techniques he uses. One of the biggest complaints I hear from home business owners is the lack of quality prospects. When probed, I discover that they implement only 2 main strategies: 1) contacting their warm market; 2) Cold-calling (unqualified) strangers. If you want to be successful in business you have to find more people to talk to. If you want to see good results you need to do many different marketing tactics to get them.

You should always be thinking about what you can do to get invfront of the people that are looking for what you have to offer. If you don’t have a lot of money to spend on your marketing strategies there are oodles of free resources online that you can use.

Here’s a short list of takeover marketing strategies that you can begin to implement. Set a goal to get at least 2-3 new customers from each and you’ll see your success skyrocket:

1. Video marketing (YouTube, Viddler, Yahoo Video, etc.): Join all the major video hosting sites and submit content regularly.

2. E-zine/Solo Articles: E-zines are a great way of getting your articles read by a loyal group of readers. You can easily gain trust and credibility by using this strategy.

3. Blog Radio: Got something to say? Get your own radio show and broadcast it everywhere in the Internet including places like iTunes.

4. ‘Live’ Streaming Video: Stickam is the largest ‘live’ streaming video network and many network marketing leaders use it to market themselves and their products.

5. Free Classifieds: Don’t slip on this one. Backpage is one of the best free classified sites to submit content to generate new business.

One of the best things you can do for your marketing knowledge to grow is to head on over to a search engine and type in “best network marketing strategy” and other similar keywords to learn from those that have been where you are and have learned some effective marketing strategies along the way.

There are even free strategies you can utilize offline that can positively impact your business. Here are a few other ideas that will help you when you’re face to face:

1. Meetup: This website will connect you to local networking events in your area for any targeted audience. You can become a ‘regular’ at these events and build your credibility.

2. Private clubs: Usually a group like this can be a fantastic way for you to be the resident guru in the club. Once you join, they won’t allow anyone else with your particular expertise to represent, giving you exclusive access to the rest of the organization. New members are constantly joining due to referral quotas set by the group, so you’ll never run out of new opportunities.

3. Drop cards: AKA sizzle cards, these are great because you can walk in somewhere and just leave them behind for anyone to pick up. The most popular ones are those that look like dollar bills. If you leave them at at appropriate locations and done on a regular basis, you will will see a steady stream of phone calls and e-mails.

As long as you don’t limit your creativity, the possibilities are too numerous to count. You must first start with a strong passion to acquire business, then follow up with powerful systems to pull in the leads. Think like a bear hunter: set traps all over places where your target audience frequents. You’ll get a healthy supply of new business when you focus on conquering your territory.
