Social Media Marketing Success

For therapists, counselors and health care practitioners

Discover How to Utilize Social Media To Fill Your Therapy Practice

You know there is a revolution occurring online and it’s growing life wildfire.

It’s called “social media” or “social networking” and includes popular platforms such as Facebook Twitter, Linked in, YouTube, and blogs.

There is no end in site for the huge appetite people seem to have for social media. The numbers of people joining these sites each and every second of each and every day is staggering.

So, if you are a counselor or healing professional wondering about social media, read on and see what we have to in store for you because we think you are really going to like it…

Why Should Therapists Use Social Media?

The simple answer: Because your current and future clients are online looking for help. They are looking to connect with experts who can help them sort out their problems and pain.

Check out these statistics:

• 62% of Americans use the internet to find health care info (Pew Internet and Family Life Study, 2009)
• 28-35% of Americans look online specifically for mental health information. (Pew Internet and Family Life Study, 2009)
• Kids aged 8-18 spend 7.5 to 10 hours a day “plugged in.” (2009 Kaiser Family Foundation Study)

Then consider:

• Over 500 million people are on Facebook
• Over 200 million are on Twitter
• Over 85 million are on Linkedin
• Over 200 billion people watch YouTube videos daily

The reason you need to use social media is simple:

Social media is taking over the web. And your potential counseling or healing clients are there looking for you.

Static websites without an integrated social media strategy are becoming a thing of the past. People want to engage. They want to participate in the conversation. It’s part of human nature.

Not only are your potential therapy clients signing up for social media websites in droves, they spend hours every day connecting to these sites on their computers and on their smart phones. They are looking for information that helps them solve their struggles and they are looking for “connection”. They are “following” and “friending” thousands of other savvy therapists already using social media websites to share leading-edge and helpful information.

Who do you think these potential clients are going to want to see when they need a therapist?

You are absolutely right.

They are going to seek out those counselors they have been following in their social media channels. Why? Because they will see them as experts that they trust. And that is the main reason that if you’re not on these same channels, you are going to get further behind.

The truth is, the longer you wait to leverage social media, the harder it will be for you to utilize it as a tool to grow a thriving counseling practice as time goes on. Social media isn’t going away and is growing at an exponential rate. Being on the front edge of this revolution will benefit you AND your clients.
