Counselor Marketing Question of the Day: If you are blogging, does it work? Does it help in marketing private practices? With SEO? Where do you find inspiration? What recommendations do you have for those starting out?
What great questions. You are certainly on the right path. One of the greatest ways you can reach your client base – is where they already are. They are online – almost 4-7 hours a day, and maybe more depending on what they do for work.
Does Blogging work? Absolutely!
Better Question: Does what you are blogging about work? Maybe – Maybe not. For a counselor marketing your practice, you need to know what people want to hear. Do they want to hear about you? Yes! Do they want to hear about your dog? Maybe! If he is a cute Golden Retriever that comes to sessions and helps relax the client.
Do they want to know about what you had for dinner? Probably not – unless in your previous career – you were a chef, or if you could tie counseling into good eating.
