In this episode:  Utilize your blog posts Instagram reels Network Building business relationships Stay consistent Utilize your blog posts Keywords in blog posts have dual purposes. You can use blog posts to help your ideal clients connect with you while they look at your websites, but you can also strategically use keywords in blog posts to help your Canadian private practice rank higher on online searches. When reviewing your marketing plan, consider looking at the blog posts you are writing and the keywords you are using. Tactically (and tactfully) combine keywords with the common pain points of your ideal clients as well as the geographical locations of your prospective clients. Instagram reels Instagram's algorithm currently favours videos more than photographs, so you can greatly boost your presence on Instagram by posting more reels instead of infographics. In your Instagram reels, be sure to use: Transitions Music Location   Your marketing plan should not only include the platforms you use but also your look within the content. Remember to be genuine in your appearance so that when your audience sees your videos, they see what you would look like in a therapy session. You want to look approachable and kind. Network Invest in creating info and/or business cards to give to people and companies in your community that you plan to network with. Networking is an important part of marketing yourself and building reliable, mutually beneficial relationships within your community. By creating some small, aesthetic, and professional cards, you can easily strike up a conversation and make a business connection. Contact businesses, doctors, and organizations that work with clients in your niche to foster referral sources and create business connections. Building business relationships   Networking is the first step to creating long-term, mutual business relationships. The next step is to offer your new business connections a small giveaway or offering to give to their clients, thereby linking the client to you and your services. Consider recording a free webinar or video series to offer your new networking referral to give to their clients. Stay consistent With any marketing plan strategy, it can take a handful of times for a prospective client to interact with your content online before they reach out to work with you. Therefore, you must stay consistent with your marketing efforts. Diversify how you interact with your audience to boost your marketing efforts. Use Instagram reels, infographics, free webinars, and network with the local community to foster trust and encourage interaction.
