Chiropractic Apps: iPhone & Android Apps for Chiropractors

Chiropractic iPhone & Android AppsIf you’re an Apple aficionado, you’re probably already aware of Apple’s big iPhone event that’s scheduled for tomorrow. If you have no clue on what I’m talking about, then see Brett Molina’s Report: Apple event slated for Oct. 4 that was featured in USA Today.

Just like previous events, Apple will hit a home run by unveiling new products and services that’ll transform the way we do business and enjoy life. It’s the former that I’d like to focus on today — transforming the way chiropractors do business.

Over 50% of those that connect to the Internet today are doing so via a mobile device. Local mobile search volume is growing exponentially at 50% per year. 80% of searchers research online before purchasing in a 10-20 mile radius. And, the #1 access method for local information is the mobile browser with 20.7 million users per month.

With so many prospects turning to mobile devices, I have to wonder how many chiropractors are capitalizing on this phenomenon or just simply letting business pass them by.

Does Chiropractic Blogging Make Sense For Chiropractors?

Inbound Marketing StrategiesWhen compared to traditional marketing, inbound marketing is an entirely new concept. Because of this most chiropractors have problems making the transition. But in today’s rapidly-changing, technology-driven society, the writing is on the wall — either jump in whole-heartedly to succeed or stand complacently on the sidelines as your chiropractic business fails.

When considering inbound marketing, chiropractors need to focus on strategies that not only produce quick results but also lay deep digital roots for the future. Chiropractic blogging accomplishes the latter. Even though it may not produce immediate results, it is absolutely essential for building a large footprint online for your chiropractic business

the Weekly Sticky: Chiropractic Patient Education Made Easy

the Weekly StickyI love the quote by Stephen Covey that says, “Technology is a wonderful slave but a horrible master”.

In essence what Dr. Covey is saying is don’t be intimidated by it but instead embrace it. If you do, you won’t be limited and can more fully appreciate its power.

As a chiropractic entrepreneur, it’s your job to run your practice like a Fortune 500 company. You may not have stockholders that hold you accountable but you should at least pretend like you do since every decision you make ultimately affects your business’s bottom line.

Mobile Marketing for Chiropractors

Since December of last year, I started introducing chiropractors to the concept of mobile marketing. For starters, I wrote a blog post on Why Thinking Mobile to Market Local is Smart for Chiropractors on December 17, 2010. If you haven’t read it yet, I encourage you to do so.

Mobile Marketing for Chiropractors

As 2011 kicked off, I then introduced other articles that drove home important stats that chiropractors needed to consider. The Growth of Mobile: Stats and Figures that will Shock You is a good example.

As 2011 progressed, many chiropractors began emailing me on how to get started. Matter of fact, I’ve received more emails regarding mobile marketing than any other topic over the last few months. Because of both the need and interest, I founded Mobile Marketing for Chiropractors.

How Chiropractors Can Easily Survey Website Visitors

kissinsights-surveyIf you’re a business owner and chiropractic entrepreneur, you don’t need me to remind you how important statistics are to the health and future growth of your chiropractic practice. Correct numbers not only speak volumes on what you’re doing correctly but also on what needs to be fixed.

However, outside of cold hard stats, another area that needs constant monitoring is your customer service program. Smart chiropractors not only have systems in place that allow patients to give accurate assessments but also monitor that input so that their business doesn’t run aground unexpectedly simply by not paying attention.

Consequently, producing super satisfied customers becomes our goal. Without them, we can forget about creating self-sustaining, referral-based practices.

That being the case, let me ask you, how well are you doing? Do you have a system in place that allows patients to tell you straight from your webiste?

How Chiropractic Bloggers Can Avoid Writer’s Block

Wad of PaperEvery once in a while chiropractic bloggers face the inevitable writer’s block. Although there are various causes, most blocks simply come from a lack of creativity or inspiration. Others come from a misunderstanding of the purpose of a blog.

Matter of fact, I hear it all of the time … “What’s so important about what I have to say?” or “Will people understand what I’m talking about?”

If you’ve asked yourself the above questions, then you’re approaching your blog from the wrong perspective. Remember, it’s not about you, it’s about them!

Every time you sit in front of your computer to write a new blog post, think about what your readers want to read. Better yet, find out what they’re searching for when they visit Google or other search engines. This will help fine-tune your message and get it noticed during search.

In addition, get creative by using online resources. By being an ear and eye, you’ll not only produce better content that meets the needs, wants, and desires of your prospects but will also become more efficient with your time.

For starters, check out the following resources that’ll help chiropractors avoid writer’s block.

17 YouTube Videos You May Have Missed

YouTubeDo you know which search engine is the second largest on the Internet? Did you guess Bing? What about Yahoo? If either one of those were your choice, then unfortunately you’re wrong.

The second largest search engine on the Internet today is YouTube.

You may be thinking YouTube? Really?

Yes, YouTube. Most people don’t think of it as a search engine but it is — and a rather unique one at that. Instead of returning text-based content obviously it returns video content.

Another thing you may not know is that Next Generation Chiropractor has a YouTube channel. And even though I don’t use it like I should, you’ll still find valuable information that’ll help build a more powerful and productive chiropractic blog.

Why Next Generation Chiropractor Has Reason to Celebrate

CelebrateToday is April 1st, 2011. And, even though it’s April Fool’s Day, I’m not joking when I tell you that Next Generation Chiropractor has been online for exactly two years to the day.

To be honest, it’s hard to believe. It seems like yesterday that I published its first post and watched as its stats reported new traffic. Thanks to pre-thought, planning, and Twitter! ;-)

Today, Next Generation Chiropractor has over 250 published articles devoted to training chiropractors on how to use blogs and social media to help grow their chiropractic practices. And, it’ll remain focused on that mission.

How To Add Facebook Questions to Your Chiropractic Facebook Page

Facebook Questions

Late last week, Facebook released a new version of its Questions Tool. Soon after that it began rolling out the feature to Facebook Pages.

The cool thing about Facebook Questions is that it gives chiropractors the ability to quickly survey fans, potential patients, as well as current patients on multiple things related to chiropractic, general health, et cetera…

As Facebook says, “Learn from your friends, see where people stand, and share what you know.”

Also, by creating quick polls, you can gather information quickly that’ll help you, for example, refine certain marketing campaigns, determine the benefits of participating in upcoming community events, and other scenarios that’ll potentially affect your business’s bottom line.

But, to take advantage of this new feature, you need to add Questions to your chiropractic Facebook Page. Here’s how …
