Before you can move forward with a self-hosted blog, you must register a domain name. A domain name is the URL or address that people use to locate your blog or web site.
So, for example, if you wanted to visit Apple’s web site to check out the new iPod shuffle, you’d enter the following address or domain name into your browser: “www.apple.com” or for most newer browsers, just “apple.com”.

Now that you understand the basic concept of blogging and its importance to growing your practice, let’s take a closer look at how to setup a blog.
Before we do so, however, let me preface this post by saying that some of the topics covered from this point forward may be elementary for some of you. Nevertheless, it is my intention to introduce the concepts to lay a firm foundation for the beginner before diving into deeper and more advanced material.

Traditionally, newspapers, flyers, postcards, yellow pages and newsletters have been the vehicle of choice for most chiropractors. However, most of one’s efforts were based on a hope and a prayer.
The hope was that someone would read and respond to the ad followed by a prayer that enough business would be created to pay for them.
The fallacy with this approach is that you aren’t fulfilling the buyer’s wants. Instead, you are contributing to the advertising noise.

Now that you understand the power of content, it’s time to put pen to paper. In other words, you need to start developing content that will attract prospects.
We scratched the surface on how this is accomplished in our last post. To recap, you must generate content that is focused toward meeting the wants and desires of the buyer.
How do you accomplish this?
Through keyword searches.
More and more people are turning to the internet to find what they want. More specifically, they are turning to Google, Yahoo and other major search engines to accomplish their goals.
The amazing thing is that these same companies provide the tools necessary to look at what keywords people are searching for. If you know how to use these tools, you can then track down what your buyer wants. Obviously, if you know what your buyer wants, you can start producing content around their wants.
Simply put, understand your buyer and dominate your market.
In our next post, we’ll examine how to distribute your content. In the mean time, additional thoughts or comments are always welcomed in the {comments} section below.

In our last post, we established that content is king.
But, if you don’t have content, then your kingdom is without a ruler. And, we all know what type of chaos that can cause!
You see, it’s a buyer’s market. What the buyer wants and desires gets priority.
How does the buyer buy? Continue Reading …
Is it you, doctor?
How about your technique?
Maybe it’s your multiple degrees or diplomate status?
In reality, none of the above really matters from the business standpoint. You can be the greatest chiropractor in the world but if you don’t know how to run a business, you won’t be in practice for long. Continue Reading …
Let’s face it.
Many people are concerned about the state of our economy. Jobs are being lost and markets are deteriorating.
Peoples’ mindsets are negative and filled with worry. Fear of what the future holds becomes the dominating theme.
At the same time, many entrepreneurs have made fortunes during economic upheavals.
Think about it.
Economic turmoil doesn’t equate to shortage of money. It just means that money is changing hands. The key is to be positioned properly as one of those hands.
You can thrive in today’s economy. The rules have changed but the game’s the same.

What is a Blog and Why do You Need One?
The key to Wiki’s definition is that it is a web site. This is important because a web site becomes an extension of your business that never closes. No matter what time of the day or night, the buyer can access your content at his or her own pace.
