How to Engage Your Chiropractic Blog Readers Through the Wibiya Toolbar

If 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.

As more chiropractors start blogging, one of the frustrations I see them experience is their inability to stimulate dialogue with their readers.

Silence is Golden … Right?

Not exactly.

You see, what they fail to realize is that the deafening silence that’s exhibited isn’t from an inability to stimulate dialogue but rather from a lack of readers.

But My Content is the BEST!

Maybe so.

But, blogging chiropractors still need to realize that digital marketing is slow.

It takes time to build traction and produce the plethora of valuable content that Google seeks to earn their right on Google’s first page.

Then What Should a Beginning Blogger Do?

Look no further than your own toolbox!

There are many tools available to help blogging chiropractors engage the few readers that happenstance upon their site.

And, the one that I now recommend is a nifty toolbar created by the good folks over at Wibiya.

Instead of writing a post on their FREE service, I thought you’d appreciate a quick screencast demonstrating just how easy it is to install and use.

But, before you click the play button, allow me to give credit where credit is due — to Dr. Todd Sullivan of Springfield, Virginia.

He’s Da Man!

Dr. Sullivan has been successfully using the Wibiya toolbar for sometime now on his blog. Because of the results he’s been experiencing, he asked me if I’d tried it to see what I thought.

Being the skeptic, I was hesitant at first. Primarily because previous toolbars had such poorly written scripts that they slowed the performance and download speed of my site.

However, after testing the Wibiya toolbar for over a week, I can proudly state that not only does their toolbar works flawlessly and without any performance issues but I’ve also seen an increase in engagement from my readers since it was installed.

So, my hat’s off to Dr. Sullivan and for encouraging me to take the leap! I’m truly enjoying the new capabilities.

Now, to see it in action, here’s a quick screencast:
