Websites -Social Networking

Can it help your massage practice?

Social Networking can be used to make connections and get new massage clients.  There are now some professional massage social networking sits such as Massagenerd.com and also massagespace.net

If you use social networking sites like myspace.com and facebook.com the thing is that you have to make professional pages on these various sites.

Social networking can help connect you with others at a low cost (None for the most part except for time.)  It also provides back links to your website which helps increase the page rank of your website.

Tips for making social networking work for you!

• Create a simple, professional looking profile
• Don't put mix family life with your professional life (create a separate one for your family/friends if you want.)
• Don't add all of your friends with dark, scary pictures or lounging in their bathing suits in less than favorable positions
• Don't put music on your pages as it is annoying and distracts readers from your message
• Add other massage therapists to your networks and keep in touch with your profession
• Add other health care providers to your network.
• Refer to good websites on health related conditions.
• Don't just add that list of never-ending 'benefits of massage' that tell nothing about what you really do or that means nothing to people really.
• Make the site about the client/potential client not about you.
• Learn to write information to promote yourself by reading this free Ebook "Make Your Words Sell" by Ken Evoy

Take social networking for what it is.  Spend time setting up your professional profile and checking in once in awhile.

For the most part Social networking can be fun but it is much more beneficial to be writing content for your website on various topics about massage and what you can do with massage to educate potential customers and help show them what solution you can provide for them.  That is really what they are looking for.
