Using The Digital Space For Your Practice-An Interview with SoMeDocs Founder, Dr. Dana Corriel
Trying to figure out how the digital world fits into your private practice can seem very overwhelming. Today, I had a great conversation with Dr. Dana Corriel, a board-certified internist, entrepreneur, digital strategist, and the founder of doctorsonsocialmedia.com to get her insights.
Here are some of the key points we discussed:
- Social Media is Media. It's a form of advertising. Don't think about it as "Social"
- Whatever content you put into the digital space represents you and your brand
- Your priority is the prime real estate you own--your website
- Make your website unique
- Provide content geared to the audience you want to read it
- You can re-purpose content from your website
- Post it on one of the social media channels--Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, etc.
- Be consistent
- Establish yourself as an expert
- Publish articles on doctorsonsocialmedia.com and other sites so that you are identified as an expert in your field
- You never know who will see your content--patients, referral sources, others.
- Use social media to drive people back to your website.
- People may not find you on social media but your patients and referral sources will definitely check out your website before coming to see you or referring patients.
