Next Generation Chiropractor
If you recall, a few weeks ago I put out a challenge to my readers of this blog to let as many chiropractors and colleagues know about Next Generation Chiropractor, Developing Others, and Blogging Chiros.
To understand why, read both Help Me Help Chiropractors Spread the Chiropractic Message and How Chiropractors Can Lead America’s Wellness Revolution.
Well, today it gives me great pleasure to announce the winners of my challenge.

For those of you who subscribe to the Blogging Chiros newsletter, you already know that on January 5, 2010, the doors will swing wide-open for membership. However, many chiropractors are still unaware of the site and what it’s all about.
So, first and foremost, if you know a colleague that’s still stuck in the stone ages, I encourage you to pass along its web address. The site could be instrumental in bringing her up-to-date!
Also, don’t forget that there’s still time to participate in the challenge addressed in an earlier post titled Help Me Help Chiropractors Spread the Chiropractic Message.
Remember, if you participate, you get a chance to win either a brand spankin’ new iPod Touch or a free membership to Blogging Chiros! So, check it out!!
Let’s say you’ve been reading this blog since day one. You’ve digested the concepts, understood the technology and are now ready to get your feet wet.
You’ve snatched up a domain name, purchased a hosting plan and forged forward with your very first WordPress install. Heck, you’ve even paid attention and purchased a search engine optimized theme like Headway or Thesis!
After a successful launch, you notice that some blog posts are more popular than others. Matter of fact, one of your posts is just crushing it when it comes to popularity!

Back in November of this year, I gave a presentation to a group of chiropractors in St. Louis, Missouri, on how to use blogs and social media to grow their chiropractic practices.
The presentation was well-received, is still stimulating multiple conversations about the topic and is responsible for encouraging the launch of several chiropractic blogs. Consequently, I’m stoked!
If you really want to know why, read my post titled Help Me Help Chiropractors Spread the Chiropractic Message. It’ll lay a good foundation on why I’m such an advocate for blogs being used by chiropractors.

Many of you know my passion for chiropractic and chiropractors. It’s innate, intense and will remain with me until the day I die. However, what many don’t know is that my passion was close to being snuffed out back in 2001.
You see, my chiropractic practice had hit rock bottom. It was in trouble and I was a few months away from closing its doors.
I struggled to pay my bills and was embarrassed that I couldn’t even take care of my own family at the level I wanted. I knew that I wasn’t reaching my potential and started searching for help.

If you’ve been reading Next Generation Chiropractor for any length of time, you’ll notice that I have an intense passion for training chiropractors and the chiropractic profession on how to use blogs and social media networks to grow their chiropractic practices.
Why?
Because I believe in chiropractic and the chiropractic message.
Chiropractic is one of the best gifts that the Almighty has bestowed upon us. Yet we as chiropractors struggle intensely to get the chiropractic message out to the masses — not because of a lack of trying but simply because of a lack of money. Unfortunately, we don’t have pockets as deep as BIG PHARMA to promote our message.
Before we head into the weekend, I wanted to quickly distribute the following video that covers how chiropractors can use social media to grow their practices.
The example I use focuses on a condition of the week or symptom of the week and shows chiropractors how they can distribute their message using various social media tools.
Now before you get all bent out of shape by the mentioning of the words condition and symptom, you need to realize that most people enter your office with a medical mindset.
They’re not programmed to think wellness. They have no knowledge of subluxations. So, you need to meet them where they are at before you introduce them to the subluxation complex.

You’ve probably heard the news.
Google announced on May 27th, 2009, that it had developed another groundbreaking product that will supposedly revolutionize the way we both communicate and collaborate.
Their product, called Google Wave, merges e-mail, instant messaging, wikis, and social networking all into one web-based service housed within Google’s computing platform and communications protocol.
In other words, Google Wave was built to bring all of your online communications together within one browser window.
Even though the possibilities seem endless, obtaining an invitation to the party has been hard to come by. Matter of fact, Google didn’t start divvying out public invites until September 30th.
