I’ve been playing Risk a lot lately. And I’ve learned a valuable lesson from it – create an army and blast the competition.
You don’t even need to know how to play the game of Risk to understand this concept. The idea is simple. Focus your troops in one territory and then drive into the next… and the next… and the next… before you know it you have dominated the playing board. So how does this apply to your personal marketing strategy?
I thought you’d never ask.
Pick a product and focus all your resources on pushing that one product everywhere you go. Cragslist, MySpace, FaceBook, Blogs, Articles, Squidoo Lenses, etc. Blast your product into the marketplace with everything you can muster and guess what happens? A lot of those advertisements won’t make it. Someone will flag your posts as spam, a site will close down, a blogger will delete your comment etc. However, certain posts will remain. Reinforce and do it all over again.
This really goes back to the law of averages. Most people aren’t successful marketers because they aren’t talking to enough people – they don’t have enough exposure. This is a great way to get more exposure. Let me break this process down for you with 6 simple steps.
- Step #1: Aim. Choose one product you want to push.
- Step #2: Focus. Choose a website, email or phone number you want to drive your responding traffic to.
- Step #3: Make Time. Create an empty weekend or evening and set aside several hours.
- Step #4: Target. Create a physical or mental list of places you wish to advertise online.
- Step #5: Attack! Open fire. Post any and everywhere it is allowed.
- Step #6: Repeat as desired.
A closing thought – I am not advocating SPAM. What I am advocating is the ageless principle of averages – sowing seed. Some seed is going to last and some is not. (Some will actually bear fruit!) The key is not to get caught up in the “managerial mindset”. Don’t focus on the details so much. Look at the whole board, and let me know how this strategy works for you.
Remember, the more seed you sow the more rewards you will reap. Marketing is a numbers game. Some will, some won’t, so what? Someone’s waiting to hear from you. Someone is waiting for a product just like yours, right now. Happy marketing, soldiers.
Cheers,

If you’re like most young entrepreneurs, if you’re like me, you’ve chased some people around before. You like what you have to offer and you believe in working for yourself, so naturally you want others, especially family and friends to feel the same way.
