Someone recently shared an interesting story about a very successful doctor who was able to acquire 32 new clients per month. This is an incredibly achievement for anyone in business, and when I asked what one marketing strategy he was using to get that many new people to join his practice, he said he didn't use just one strategy to get thirty-two people. He implemented 32 DIFFERENT strategies that each got one new client!

That’s takeover marketing in a nutshell. One of the biggest complaints I hear from home business owners is the lack of quality prospects. When I dig deeper and talk to these people I find they are usually only doing 2 primary techniques: 1) attempting to sell to their friends and family; 2) Calling people for a purchsed list which most likely has been sold to multiple people. If you want more people to join your business you need to be where your prospects are. Without a substantial amount of activity you will not see substantial results.

Your mindset has to be focused on how many different ways you can attack in order to penetrate the fortress of prosperity. 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:

• Video advertising (YouTube, Metacafe, Revver...)- subscribe to as many video hosting websites as possible and remember that consistency is the key.

-Ezine Article Marketing – some article submission sites will anoint you with an expert author status simply for submitting consistently. This raises your credibility

-Blog Radio - Got something to say? Get your own radio show and broadcast it everywhere in the internet including places like iTunes.com

Live Streaming Video - Stickam.com is the largest live streaming video network and many network marketing leaders use it to market themselves and their products.

-Free Classified Ads - Don't forget this very basic marketing technique. There are hundred of free sites out there for you to use. Just like video marketing, you have to be consistent in order for this to be effective.

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. Listed below is just a few techniques you can use in everyday life.

-Meetup.com – 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.

-Private membership clubs – typically these clubs are a great way to become the resident expert in the group. 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. Many of these organizations have a referral quota, so you’re guaranteed to acquire new business.

-Drop cards – A.K.A. "sizzle cards" that can be literally dropped anywhere and at anytime with advertising about your business. Drop cards that resemble money have the highest success rate. When implemented consistently and in the right places, you’ll get calls and emails on a regular basis.

As long as you don’t limit your creativity, the possibilities are too numerous to count. The key to success is to be passionate about what you are doing and then back that up with a strong marketing plan to get the leads coming in. Think like a bear hunter: set traps all over the place and where ever your target audience frequents. You’ll get a healthy supply of new business when you focus on conquering your territory.
