In this episode of the Private Practice Elevation podcast you’re going to learn how therapists can use YouTube in their private practice.
As with any platform out there, there are best practices for using YouTube depending on the end goal you have in mind with your online marketing.
Some therapists think that putting regularly scheduled videos on their YouTube channel over time will bring new clients to their practice.
But, as you’ll learn in my conversation with Dr. Marie Fang, YouTube doesn’t really work that way.
There’s a way to use YouTube in your therapy practice and that’s different than if you wanted to use YouTube to reach a broader audience and grow some passive income.
Dr. Marie gives us the inside strategies on both… because she’s used YouTube both in her own private practice as well as her other business Private Practice Skills, where she’s grown an audience of 14k followers at the time of writing this.
I was super excited to have Dr. Marie back on the podcast for this exact reason.
She always gives extremely simple and actionable advice… because she’s already tried it in her own businesses.
So if you’re wondering why and how to use YouTube to connect with your therapy clients or reach more people for that side hustle you’ve been thinking about, listen up!
