The Online Wellness Association Blog

On March 14, 2009, Kayla Schroeder hosted a FREE OWA SEMINAR at WISDOM OF WELLNESS & CHIROPRACTIC CENTER, Roseburg, OR. These seminars are meant to educate wellness practitioners on how and why to become part of the 21st century marketing world for wellness practitioners. This is a summary of the “How To” that the audience learned in the FREE two-hour seminar:

Whether you area a counselor, psychologist, massage therapist, life coach, etc, one of the challenges of having a private practice are COSTS and TIME. Having a presence on line can help keep the costs down and save you time:

CONTACT INFORMATION
Depending on what statistics you look at, approximately 80% of American have one or more computers in use; approximately 80%, or more, browse their computers for information. When someone needs to find a person and/or business, they will usually turn on their computer and use one of the search engines to locate what and/or who they need.

INTRODUCE YOURSELF
Websites provide a step-up for you to introduce yourself to the public/potential clients. Once a browser visits your website, they can immediately get to know you by seeing your picture, reading your bio, and reading about the services and/or products you offer.

BECOME THE EXPERT
The internet offers many opportunities to become THE EXPERT in your field of interest. You can publish your thoughts, experiences, and knowledge via blogging, articles, books and teleseminars.

SELL PRODUCTS
Self publishing and self sales are taking off because of the internet. Products associated with your practice that you endorse can easily be marketed off your website. Affiliations and joint ventures offer passive additional income.

Advertising on the internet can be very expensive: anywhere from $20/month to $20,000/month. ONLINE WELLNESS ASSOCIATION offers many opportunities to build credibility via the OWA SEAL OF APPROVAL to posting events, posting articles, open blogging, and directory advertising with links. Because the mission of ONLINE WELLNESS ASSOCIATION is to build credibility for legitimate practitioners, the cost of yearly membership is less then $16/month. If you are a practitioner, it makes great marketing “cents” to become a member of this 21st Century membership only association.
