One Simple Way to Make 2015 Your Most Successful Year Ever Using Social Media

It’s the holiday season, time for lots of overspending on things that we don’t really need and will likely never use while we watch friends and family eat/drink their way from holiday celebration to holiday celebration. So it’s the time of year that none of us has too much time to waste reading long articles about big ideas that will change the world and over-inflated unachievable claims about how simple it is to double my practice overnight with zero extra effort. It’s time for some simple straight talk and common sense so grab a quick coffee, tea, beer or cocktail and let’s cut right to the chase…

A few basic assertions:

1. If you want your practice to be busier next year you’ll want to focus on letting more of the right type of people know about who you are, what you do and the benefits they can experience in your practice.

2. If you want more people to know about your practice, you have to be responsible for doing at least one new thing that’s easy, cheap and effective that will get your message out to the right type of people in your community on a regular basis.

3. Social networks and social media are this generations communication tools whether you ‘Like’ it or not.

4. You’re just being stubborn, lazy and negligent by not adopting a simple free social media strategy that keeps your name, practice and positive life-enhancing inspirational messages in front of the right people who like to communicate on the most popular social networks. In other words, having a simple, executable social media strategy for your practice is no longer any more of an option than having a practice phone number and website. It’s what you do these days.

Here’s where you say: Ok, mercy. I get it, so just give me the bottom line. What have I got to do?

1. Create and optimize your practice’s social network channels so they look, feel and function in a way that will grow your impact and your practice.
2. Create a daily posting strategy for your practice’s social networks.
3. Grow your practice’s social network fan base(s).

Sounds simple enough, but how do I do that?

Here’s how:

1. If you haven’t already, set up at least the following social network(s) for your practice. A Facebook Page, Twitter account and LinkedIn account. You should create a Google Plus page but that’s more for search engine optimization than for social media optimization.

2. Once you’ve set up your practice’s social networks then join Chiropractic AmpLIFEied at: JoinAmpLIFEied.com. Create a free account and register all your practice’s social networks. You should be able to do this in less than 4 minutes.

3. Delegate to someone on your staff the simple task to find and share something great with your practice’s social networks from Chiropractic AmpLIFEied at least once per day. For best results, consider a minimum of three posts per day, morning, noon and evening. You should be able to do this in two minutes or less.
4. Invite people to connect with your practice’s community of local health activists interested in a daily dose of positive inspiration and good ideas that will make your life better each and every day. Make sure your systems/procedures ensure everyone in your practice gets invited.
