How to Find More RSS Subscribers for Your Chiropractic Blog

CoffeeCup_Feed_256x256Over in Blogging Chiros this week, we’re discussing how to bridge the gap between setting up a blog and marketing it via social media networks.

Tools like RSS feeds, RSS via email and email newsletter opt-in fields are critical to the success of any serious blogger.

Why?

Because they allow you to capture leads from some of your most valuable readers.

You see, as a business owner, it makes no sense to devote hours in creating quality content if you don’t have a way to capture readers’ contact information outside of what they provide in the comment section of each blog post.

How to Engage Your Chiropractic Blog Readers Through the Wibiya Toolbar

wibiyaIf you’ve been blogging for any length of time, you should already understand and appreciate your blog’s ability to stimulate dialogue through the comments section of each post. Dialogue is not only important to aid in building relationships with your readers but also in measuring engagement.

If you’re not familiar with the term engagement, think of it this way — it refers to the attention people give to your content by promoting it through various social networks or social bookmarking sites.

The more valuable your content, the more it’ll spread as an engagement event. The more events your blog stimulates, the more rank it pulls among the sites that matter most like Reddit and DIGG.

Why Content is King Shouldn’t Be Chiropractors’ Only Mantra

communityIf you’ve been around inbound marketing for sometime, you probably have heard the saying that content is king. Matter of fact, one of the first blog posts that I published on Next Generation Chiropractor covered this subject briefly.

But, as more chiropractors learn the value of inbound marketing — more specifically, becoming a content publisher — one of the traps I see is that content instead of what matters most becomes their primary focus.

In other words, some chiropractors have bought into the mantra without fully understanding the reason for it.

4 Truths Every Chiropractor Should Know About Social Media Marketing

fourOver this past weekend, I had the wonderful privilege of speaking to a fairly large group of both chiropractors and chiropractic assistants in Atlanta, Georgia.

As always when I address this crowd, the audience was not only a pleasure to speak to but the presentation was well received. For that, I’m forever grateful!

Obviously, my focus was on how to use blogs and social media networks to help grow their chiropractic practices. However, during the first part of my presentation, I spent a considerable amount of time discussing the four truths every chiropractor should know about social media marketing.

My purpose — to help chiropractors understand that it takes patience, time, and perseverance to build their presence online.

You see, without a proper understanding of these four truths, one can make the wrong assumption that social media marketing doesn’t work. If that occurs, it can derail any legitimate attempts at building a successful brand online.

Even though my presentation was over two hours and covered other topics besides these four truths, I decided to create a screencast for all of my Next Generation Chiropractor readers which focused on the aforementioned exclusively.
