Book: The Ultimate Guide to Internet Marketing for Dentists: All You Need to Know to Effectively Market Your Dental Practice Online.
- Internet marketing has stabilized over the years, but the problem now is that there's so many choices especially for local marketing, which creates such a complex marketing environment.
- I started my company to try and untangle the web for local businesses, and help them understand how to promote their businesses using online marketing.
- I started way back and learned a lot about what to do what not to do, and then created a company that I've owned now for 13 years, that helps dentists figure out the best way to promote their practices.
- When I started the agency, at first we took on anybody that would pay us, but we later found out that it's hard to effectively market businesses that we don’t know about.
- We narrowed down our focus to market for dentists and this has really helped us and quite frankly, our clients.
- The first two things that you have to do to capitalize your market place, no matter what kind of business you are in, is to first identify your new customer avatar and put it on paper.
- You also need to identify your unique selling proposition and what makes you different from your competition.
- When you have those two things, that's when you can identify the mediums or what advertising platforms are going to work best based on who you are trying to attract.
- Commercial Break
- I felt that if I wrote a book about what I was doing, it would help make me a market expert about it.
- Once I got to writing it, I realized that it was going to help a lot of people in business that were struggling and that needed a little push in the right direction.
- I found that when you write a book, you have to do a lot of research, and in that process, I learned a lot of new things.
- We get a lot of questions from our clients around time, fear of the unknown and money.
- There are a lot of people that want the information, get excited about it, and then don't really do anything with it.
- Find something that you're excited about and take action. It's okay to fail, just fail fast, learn from it and move on.
