Chiropractic Marketing – Hidden Search Engine Optimization Tricks

No doubt, if you’re like most other chiropractors today, you’ve spent a load of money on a private SEO firm that claimed to know everything about search engine optimization and making you successful, but you’ve seen no real results. You might be wondering what this mysterious SEO thing that yields no results actually is. The truth is that it actually is all it’s cracked up to be..when you use it right.

If I told you that you could literally save over 70% by learning SEO yourself and outsourcing through specific channels, would that get your attention? The startling reality is what you don’t know is costing you thousands and possibly killing your chiropractic practice!

Basically, SEO or Search Engine Optimization is a method to get greater numbers of people to your chiropractic website at no cost. By using the precise kinds of words in certain quantities and orders, you can more readily come up in popular search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN. We all know that the higher your site appears in these search engines, the more likely someone will visit your site. SEO is a way to get you to the top of these search engines and to get a lot of traffic and popularity.

The beauty of SEO is that you can leverage so much of the marketing work out. You’re also saving truckloads of money when you learn to do it yourself and have proper guidance, and you get to escape the empty promises of marketing firms that cost you an enormous fortune to yield no results. Soon, with the help of SEO, you’ll have an unbelievable amount of new patients walking through your doors.

The more variety of materials you equip with search engine optimization online, the more you can blanket the market. Soon your name, face, and practice will come up everywhere when people are typing in the appropriate key words. This means that you’re going to want a consistent output of videos, articles, blogs, press releases, and everything else you can think of to get your name out there. Look at it this way: the more times people find that your name comes up on the internet, the more they will believe in your credibility and use your services.

Don’t be one of the chiropractors that spend a terrible amount of money on an “overboard” website but don’t have the first idea about how to get more people to actually visit the site. People don’t come to your website by magic. They need to be searching for someone or some topic related to your site in a search engine like Google, and your website needs to come at the top of that search for them to really want to click on your link. When you learn the tricks to get your site, or article, or video, to the top of the search engine, there’s no end to the success you can create.

The thing is that you have to learn about SEO yourself. You can’t trust someone to just take the marketing into their own hands and not let you in on what’s going on. This is how so many chiropractors lose money; by blindly trusting someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing. When you learn the tactics of SEO, and how to implement them yourself, you’re saving a huge amount of money and creating more success.

SEO is an amazing tactic to get your chiropractic practice to the next level, and soon you’ll begin to see a consistently impressive amount of new patients walking into your office. When you harness the power of SEO and web 2.0, you’re taking your success and the future of your chiropractic practice into your own hands. The key is to find the right mentor to get you on the road to success, and then seize the future of technology and communications for your benefit.

2009 Chiropractic Marketing Strategies

The best kept secret in chiropractic marketing has been coveted by DCs for the past two years to reach phenomenal levels of success. With this secret, chiropractors are able to quickly increase their exposure, brand themselves in their community while building credibility and trust, and utterly transform their financial profile almost immediately. Those who know the secret are still laughing about it with a cigar in their mouth, and those who havent known it have faced serious financial setbacks. And, wouldnt you know, this secret form of chiropractic marketing is totally free.

So what is the secret to marketing and financial success for chiropractors? The answer is the explosive world of chiropractic video marketing. When you use chiropractic video marketing and harness the power of online social media sites like YouTube and Facebook, you are going to take your chiropractic success to unheard-of heights. 2009 is the year when its going to erupt, and you want to be right there on the front lines. Imagine financial rewards and branding powers that work around the clock, 24/7.

When you meet members of your community on these social media sites, you can begin to share you practice and expertise with them. When people meet you this way, they think of you for their next chiropractic issue, because they feel that they already know you and trust you. With video marketing, print advertising has reached its end. If you take one video and upload it to 30 different sharing sites, and that gets 5 views a day on each site, were talking 1.050 views a week!

You can see why I was spending a ridiculous amount of money on pay per click, because this could cost you over a thousand dollars a week. Now, imagine the increased exposure from making 10 videos and doing the same thing. If you arent using free media to upload these videos, youre going into the financial hole. If you do use free outlets, the amount of free exposure is mind-boggling!

Branding your chiropractic practice has never been easier with video as well. You can build social proof very quickly if you understand about how to propagate videos effectively while giving the viewer just a massive amount of value. When it comes down to it, people do not buy your practice or your service… they buy YOU! It’s vitally important to be genuine within your chiropractic videos, as traditional selling will not get you anywhere.

When I first began to make videos, I didnt even have a camera yet. I simply used my screen-capture software off my computer. These days, even little digital cameras have video capability, so youre going to be able to find something you can use to get started. The time is now to get started with this chiropractic marketing secret; and it wont be a secret for long. Did you know that over half the content online is video material? Start out by setting a goal to make one or two videos each week about your chiropractic practice. As for me, Im up to three a week, and seeing phenomenal returns.

Nobody likes rejection, and the beauty of video marketing is that you dont really have to face that. New patients come to you. You dont chase them! Start by telling your chiropractic story on your video, and tell it genuinely. Go ahead and be sincere, and show the camera who you really are, and what is meaningful to you as a chiropractor. Once you tell your story, make your videos about the patient, and the patients needs and concerns.

I cant begin to explain how my life has been transformed since beginning video marketing. The amount of leveraging is amazing, and the increased wealth has done wonders. Start making videos today, and as you continue to practice youll improve more and more. If you ride the wave of 2009, youre in for an amazing journey!

Chiropractic Coaching Scam Alert

As I’ve been speaking around the country for the past 2 years in chiropractic seminars and events, I continue to hear the same complaints by recent chiropractic school grads and professionals. They’ve been scammed by useless management consultants. I think we need to wake up and realize that when these groups make huge promises, our instincts rightly tell us that they can’t keep them. If a chiropractor is pushed into one of these companies because they’ve been instilled with a fear of failure, then you know that there is some serious fraud going on, and the other guys are making a lot of money off it. These “meat-eaters” are devouring chiropractic businesses for breakfast with their false claims, and you better not be the next one to fall prey to them.

If you join a consulting group, make sure they have plenty of value to provide to you rather than just empty promises. Personally, I feel than many are overpriced and are just out to make a buck and could care less about the average chiropractor. I say this because some chiropractic practice consulting groups are using marketing tactics and strategies that died in the 1970′s. The world changes periodically, not to mention the people in it, so it’s important to find a company that’s adaptable to the new ways of marketing and doing business in today’s high-tech age.

Do an intense evaluation from inside out with your chiropractic practice, finding those areas that you need help with. Even in this sagging economy, many DC’s are doing very well. I typically find that the marketing and new patient acquisition aspects of most practices is what chiropractors want to substantially ramp-up. If you need new patients, you should first seek out forms of marketing and advertising that are free. Believe it or not, the best advertising is free in today’s time. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. For example, did you know you can use YouTube and create videos to bring patients into the office and dominate the competition and search engines? Did you know you could use Myspace or Facebook to connect with local people in your area and brand yourself and your office?

When times are rough, it’s the innovators and creative marketers that survive and prosper. But if you turn to a chiropractic consultant to show you these cutting-edge methods, you’re throwing your money away. None of them are trained or knowledgeable of how to use Web 2.0 and social media to get your business on the fast track to success. And if any of them say they know the best methods and they’ve been using them for years, you’re falling right into a scam!

Here are a few tips to consider when choosing a practice management company. Make sure they have real-life testimonials from previous clients. Secondly, see if they specialize in what you are looking for. You don’t want a “jack of all trades, master of none” chiropractic coaching group. If you want to market your practice via the internet, don’t choose someone that focuses on screenings are dinner-talks. Lastly, make sure they are adaptable and staying abreast of new trends in the internet and the world. Not only that, be clear that they have an exact, proven strategy to implement them within your practice.

Here are a few places you can go to today to begin to advertise for FREE on the internet. Go to YouTube.com, Myspace.com, WordPress.com, Sphinn.com, EzineArticles.com, and Twitter.com. Trust me; you’re going to be really happy that you did.

There are countless others, but start with these. Web 2.0 sites are absolutely free and are the cutting-edge marketing arenas in the world today. You’re going to begin to see tons of new chiropractic patients walking through your door in no time at all. There are other opportunities for income on these sites as well. If you do this today, you’ll be in the elite, because nearly 95% of the chiropractic profession is in the dark about this form of marketing. Social media is the answer for chiropractors, and you can be at the forefront of it.

Just so it is understood, not all chiropractic coaching groups are frauds. There are a select few good ones that have proven themselves and have gained trust and credibility within the profession. Ask around to other colleagues to get honest opinions before you pick a firm. This is a big decision and has the potential to give your practice an incredible jump-start.

Is Your Chiropractic Marketing Killing Your Practice?

Remember when Grandma told you to not spend all your money in one place? So why are you spending all your money on worthless marketing for your chiropractic practice, when the most effective methods are completely free? It just doesn’t make sense, but 90% of chiropractors continue to make this horrible mistake in their chiropractic marketing strategies. Don’t look at marketing like you’re playing the lotto. You can’t drive new patients through your doors with a hope and a prayer. You need innovative techniques that work during these difficult times, and the one thing that really works is absolutely free.

In the current economic recession, the old forms of marketing and advertising are not working nearly as well as they used to. Similarly, if you do not have a steady marketing plan in place, you will not be in business that long. One of the major problems I see at the moment is that chiropractors are marketing less now because times are tough when it should be the other way around. Sales and chiropractic marketing are what feed your practice and get you those highly sought after new patients you desire.

You’re probably telling yourself that you don’t have the money to market your chiropractic practice anymore, and you’re wondering how else you can spread the word about your business. The answer is much more exciting than you’ve imagined, and it’s absolutely free to you. So what kind of marketing is this? Well, it’s definitely not TV, newspaper ads, magazines, telemarketing, or postcard drops. These are black holes that will cost you a fortune and yield mediocre results.

So what’s the answer? If you have all your money tied-up in expensive ads and old marketing techniques with no results, you can still see loads of new patients walk through your doors using the exposure of Web 2.0 and social media; and it’s absolutely free! Chiropractic marketing is being completely revolutionized by sites like YouTube, MySpace, and Facebook. These sites aren’t just for teenagers as some would like you to believe. At least 50% of the traffic on these sites is 30 years or older.

Targeted marketing that specifically hits the demographic you need is the wave of the marketing future. It’s simple and cost effective, and you’ll be amazed at the amount of new patients and business you’ll receive. I can’t express how important it is to start your online marketing on the right foot! If you don’t know what you’re doing, you can seriously damage your credibility in your community from the get-go. This is how many chiropractors have failed. To create success, you need to find someone who has experienced success.

Here’s a great way to start on the road to Web 2.0 success. Get an account started on a popular social media site, and begin to invite friends who live within a 5 mile radius of your practice. Let these people learn about you and start to communicate with them. Once you strike-up friendships, you are then able to share information about your chiropractic practice and draw people who are in need of your services.

Also, begin to provide massive value to these people. Send them videos and articles that they can begin to use and apply to their daily lives. For example, one video that I posted was about how to get rid of a headache naturally. This video garnered about 3,000 views within its first week! This was because it spread using viral marketing. Someone got an enormous amount of value out of it, then they forwarded this video to their friends, and so on.

Hopefully, you can begin to see the massive potential and possibility of these social networks. I’ve literally been able to rake in a small fortune using these types of chiropractic marketing methods. Again, they are no-cost to you, yet they can yield huge returns and ultimately grow your chiropractic practice to unimaginable heights. Get involved and set-up your accounts on these social networks today so you can learn some innovative and new ways to get your business out into your local community.

Chiropractic Consultant Alert

When conversing with hundreds of chiropractors at business growth seminars I’ve spoken at over the past couple of years, it is apparent that many have been scammed by practice management consultants. The typical issue that I hear most often is that these “gurus” do not do what is promised and their marketing is very “black-hat” or deceptive. Truthfully, I don’t have respect for people that need to mislead chiropractors or students to get them to join their agency. These guys typically are very good salesman but make empty promises in order to collect that several thousand dollar payday.

Now, I don’t have a problem with paying for an expensive service as long as the use value of the system far outweighs the actual cash value that I shelled-out. This is how a good business owner should dictate price anyway. It should all be about providing massive amounts of practical use-value for your client or customer. Practice management groups and consultants who do this should be commended, but they are very rare. Most of what you will come across in chiropractic school when chiropractic consultants speak is BS filler and fear mongering. They have to scare you in order to get your business. This is a warning to stay away from sharks who use those methods.

When you decide that you need one of these practice management groups, you have to start by asking yourself specifically what your business needs. If you pass-up this hugely important step of the process, you risk working with someone who charges you an arm and a leg and has no expertise in your specific problems. I’ve seen too many businesses fall into this trap, and I don’t want to see it any longer.

One of the biggest things to check for when you’re finding a consultant that’s right for you is whether they have verifiable testimonials. Do they have real people who are satisfied with the results they’ve had with that consultant? Make sure these aren’t scripted testimonials, and that those smiling faces on the promo videos aren’t just paid actors.

Say you’ve decided that you need to seriously amp-up your marketing online utilizing the goldmine of Web 2.0, and you want to find a consultant that can teach you how to do that. Go online to Google and search for “social media chiropractic marketing” and see what you find. When you get this specific, you may find someone who has the answers for you and you alone.

The most important element when looking for a consultant that can take your chiropractic practice out of the dumps into soaring new heights is whether they’re using the most innovative strategies of today. We live in tough times, and the only way to survive and thrive is to be an innovator. You need to be at the forefront of what’s going on with the changing times, or you’re simply left in the dust. Web 2.0 and social media marketing are really the only way to find any success right now. While some chiropractors are sinking in their old tactics, there are small percentages that are finding tremendous success as they tap this rich and undiscovered resource. And social media is growing by the second!

It’s time to no longer be a victim of outdated practices and get your business booming, even in these difficult times. 95% of chiropractic practices are failing to learn about the important marketing technique that uses Web 2.0 and social media, but there is that 5% that is succeeding. You could get countless new patients walking through your doors if you can change with the times.

Even if you’re the best chiropractor the world has ever seen, no one will actually experience it unless they know you exist. There is only one consultant teaching the vastly important marketing strategies involving Web 2.0 and social media. If you want to be one of the successes in this difficult time, you need to step up.
