Then, after that, you see them advertising in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dynamicchiropractic.com\/mpacms\/dc\/home.php\"><em>Dynamic Chiropractic<\/em><\/a> or <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chiroeco.com\/\">Chiropractic Economics<\/a> <\/em>about how to get dozens of new patients \/ month using the web.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m always blown away by how other chiropractic coaching groups \/ consultants can make such claims when they don&#8217;t truthfully have experience building a practice using social media or the internet.<\/p>\n<p>The kicker is when you reverse engineer their own internet marketing and presence, it&#8217;s incredibly weak and lacking so it&#8217;s easy to call their bluff.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, to advertise in these major industry publications, you don&#8217;t need to show proof of any claim. If you have the money to spend, they&#8217;ll gladly print your ad.<\/p>\n<p>Why do I have an issue with this?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s just plain misleading. That would be like going to a general practitioner for a brain tumor and expecting him to operate. Does that make sense at all?<\/p>\n<p>Of course not! You go to a neurosurgeon because that&#8217;s his \/ her SPECIALTY.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Another great example of this concept would be a medical doctor that goes to a weekend seminar and learns how to &#8220;adjust&#8221; the spine. As a chiropractor, it took you 2-3 years to perfect this art.<\/p>\n<p>Can a medical doctor really learn to adjust like an experienced chiropractor in a short weekend?<\/p>\n<p>NO WAY!!<\/p>\n<p>This is what sours a lot of chiropractors from trusting other experienced coaches that can actually help them. They&#8217;ll have a bad experience with social media \/ internet marketing from someone that has little to no experience, then the doctor thinks this marketing doesn&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, what should&#8217;ve happened from the beginning is the chiropractor should&#8217;ve sought out a specialist. Not only that, but the &#8220;general&#8221; or inexperienced chiropractic consultant shouldn&#8217;t have been allowed to make unsubstantiated claims.<\/p>\n<p>This is a fair word of caution.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Whatever area you want to grow your practice in, seek-out a specialist with an extensive results-driven track record in that same area.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I know this seems pretty obvious but you&#8217;d be surprised at just how many fall for the direct response advertisements that are floating around in offline chiropractic publications, online, and in your mail box.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013<\/p>\n<p>Did you like this post?
