<br />
Anyone who works in social media will tell you that a robust brand presence is more important than ever. <br />
<br />
Independent studies are corroborating this notion. Take a look at this <a href="http://blog.lab42.com/like-us">infographic from Lab 42</a> and these key findings:
<br />
<br />
• 82 percent of people surveyed say that Facebook is a good place to connect with brands, <em>but</em> only 35 percent feel brands listen to them more on Facebook.
<br />
<br />
• Half of those surveyed find that a brand’s Facebook page is more useful than its website.
<br />
<br />
• 75 percent of those surveyed say they feel more connected to a brand they like on Facebook.<br />

<br />
<em>She mentions </em><strong>“The Monster At The End of This Book,” by Jon Stone - which I have read.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong></strong><strong>PR Lesson:</strong> Be fearless. Go forth. Identify people
you’re afraid to talk to, and do it. Nobody is “out of your league.” <i> </i><br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;">Reminds me of media pitching. It can be intimidating at times! Thanks for the encouragement Julai! </i><span style="color: red;"> </span><br />
<br />
Julia goes on...Who
do you really want to work with? Contact them today. It’s not that
you’ll never be scared when you break new career ground; but if you’re
not at least a little bit scared, it’s probably not worth doing.
Whatever you do, keep turning new pages. If you’re brave, you can handle
whatever comes next.<em> </em><br />

<strong>5. Maintain a steady drumbeat</strong><br />
<br />
Even the
best PR campaigns rarely produce overnight results. Map out a six-month
to 12-month plan with specific goals. Over time, you'll break through
the clutter and distinguish your business.<br />

<br />
He was asked, <b>How important is it now for dentists to have an online presence? Is it a practice maker or breaker?</b> <br />
<br />
"You’re really limiting the ways you can attract new patients if you’re
not online and participating actively in social media. You’re also
limiting the ways you can reinforce your relationships with your
existing patient base. You really can’t do proper internal and external
marketing without a social-media or electronic presence, and the real
question is, why wouldn’t you?"<br />
<br />
Dr. Zuckerberg encourages dentists who are already putting in many hours a week running the
business side of a practice and providing clinical care and don't have time to post on their Facebook page, to hire a firm that specializes in web-based marketing strategies to find
things on the Internet that you think their patients will be interested
in, and that firm can post those things to your page for you.<br />

You need to be able to curate it and put interesting pins on your page that will entice your followers. In addition, the more interesting the pin the more likely it will be repinned, which helps with search engine optimization (SEO).</p> </li><li> <p><b>Update Sites Every Week </b>– Update them at least weekly, if not daily. Otherwise people lose interest and stop coming back.</p> </li><li> <p><b>Create Links Back to Your Web or Other Sites </b>– Make it as simple as possible so that people can click on links easily and purchase or view products or services in other places. </p> </li><li> <p><b>Link Pinterest With Other Social Networking Sites </b>– By doing this, your followers on other social networking sites will know your activity on Pinterest and will be able to make more personal connections with you.</p> </li><li> <p><b>Have a Daily or Weekly Theme </b>– This will help entice your followers to keep coming back and keep piquing their interest. For instance, have a “yellow” day where everything you post on that day is the color yellow.</p> </li><li> <p><b>Don’t Only Promote Your Product or Service </b>– Be sure to promote other brands that you like. By just promoting your product or service, you are being too commercial.</p> </li><li> <p><b>Follow Early Adopters </b>– They often have an interesting perspective on new sites.</p> </li><li> <p><b>Use Back Links to Take Followers to Your Web Site </b>–<b> </b>This will help increase your SEO and also draw attention to your Web site.</p> </li><li> <p><b>Need a Focus Group?</b><b> </b>– If you are interested in a particular demographic—say, for example, people who like to sew—check out their boards on Pinterest and see what interests them. This will help you target them better.</p> </li><li> <p><b>Use Keywords and Hashtags</b><b> </b>– This also improve SEO.</p> </li><li> <p><b>Enable Your Community to Add</b><b> </b>– Your followers can actually add pins to your boards, which makes your Pinterest page more interactive.

If the site had things such as electronic medical forms, informational videos and online appointments, you had something fairly sophisticated.</p> <p>But oh, that was so 30 seconds ago.</p> <p>People now expect some form of two-way communication through social media in nearly every sector of society, and physicians are trying to address that desire by chipping away at the traditional doctor-patient relationship.</p><p>It makes good marketing sense because even doctors are trying to run a business. This is a way to get the word out and keep patients, who are among the best sources for referrals, engaged in the practice.</p> <p>It also leverages what Facebook does so well, which is to create a community, albeit through cyberspace, for those with common interests and concerns.</p> <p>The bulk of the information on these pages consists of links to medical websites and articles of interest based on practices' specialties. Many of the postings are aimed at showing the more personal side of practices, from items about their involvement with different charities, to photos of the office staff on crazy-Christmas-sweater day.</p><p>Read the full <a href="http://www.lvrj.com/health/social-media-linking-las-vegas-doctors-patients-141389473.html?ref=473">article</a>. </p><p>I handle the social media for two physicians.
