It's hard to believe that three years have passed already since I introduced the chiropractic profession to Web 2.0 social media marketing. What first began as marketing on just social networks like Myspace, YouTube, and Facebook, has expanded to encompass the vast, new and rapidly growing online media outlets. If you were to take a snapshot at the growth of this Web 2.0 phenomenon back in 2005 and compare it now, it would appear like a virus that literally doubled every 24 hours. Now, I'm not just speaking about huge-growth of a new phase of the internet and communication. I am also referring to the massively profitable nature that comes with this technology for your chiropractic practice and the ability to easily generate multiple sources of income at a staggering rate.
The days of back-breaking, paid marketing and advertising are over by many standards. In the struggling economy that is upon us, chiropractors that still use "stone-age" methods to acquire new patients are finding that success is few and far in-between. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and embrace these exciting and much-needed changes in chiropractic marketing.
Quite frankly, my "economy" is booming just like the hundreds of other chiropractors that have started to implement strategic methods for social media marketing. A global shift has occurred and the question you have to ask is, "Do you want to be a part of this goldmine or do you want to be left-out in the cold?"
Below is a quick-list of a few sites that I readily frequent (and I highly recommend you do as well) in my Web 2.0 marketing endeavors for my chiropractic practice and the other streams of revenue that continue to flow. Begin at YouTube.com, Digg.com, Squidoo.com, EzineArticles.com, StumbleUpon.com, Facebook.com, Twitter.com, Myspace.com, Free-Press-Release.com, Wordpress.com, Photobucket.com, Furl.com, and eHow.com.
There are greater than two-hundred websites that are empty canvases for your marketing masterpiece. For the sake of example, I only named a few. If you really want to tap into the full power of it, you need someone who is knowledgeable in all of these sites, and the specific tactics for how to milk them. The good news is, you don't need to do it alone. Your profession and skill is at being a chiropractor, so you need to find someone who can expertly do these things for you, and teach you along the way.
Even the incredible time saving and leveraged-based tools I use and recommend can be easily shown to a CA or marketing director for use. The most important thing is to be coachable, as this may be a new language to many chiropractic marketing newbies and veterans.
You can even make your practice an online money-maker with Web 2.0 social media. There's nothing that beats getting-up in the morning and knowing that Web 2.0 has been working for you throughout the night, making more money and connections. Sometimes it seems like a dream that business can happen so effortlessly and successfully, but there are other chiropractors who are living this dream, so I know it's a reality.
When you create other forms of income while marketing your practice online, you make your practice entirely recession-proof; nothing can stop you. You need to be courageous and an innovator to do this. You have to think out of the box and ride the wave of the future.
Here's a great example of just one of the tactics you can use online: Think of some piece of knowledge that is of value to people online. Perhaps you create a channel with a weekly discussion series about some topic in chiropractics. When you do something like this and offer your services on the web, the world audience will listen to you and know who you are. This means that when the time comes for them to need a chiropractor, you're the first one they think of! When you create a YouTube video of this kind, you won't believe the traffic of new patients you'll get.
Be creative and you will find this new, powerful virtual world will bring you boatloads of new patients, build social proof, and allow you to generate multiple streams of residual income. - 15246
