Internet Marketing

What is RSS?   Did you know that according to Marketing Sherpa, there were are at least 75 million consumers and business personnel in the USA and UK who use RSS on a regular basis?  It is growing every day.

But, depending on which study’s stats you believe, only 17%-32% of RSS users actually know they’re using RSS!  That means that roughly 50 million regular RSS users would say, “Huh?” if asked “what does RSS mean?”

FTCThe Federal Trade Commission  (FTC) is finally stepping up to the plate and making a concerted effort to regulate Blogging on the Internet.  This is a pretty big deal for the blogging community, especially if your Internet marketing program includes blogging, patient testimonials, and video. This very post is now being held to a certain set of standards.  Just like HIPPA, the guidelines are vague and largely unenforceable, but at least standards are being set.

As you may have noticed, I have a blog instead of a website.  When I decided to market myself on the Internet as an orthodontic marketing coach, after extensive research and training, I felt my best option was a blog vs a website to get the word out.  It has served me well.  In fact much better than if I have opted to start with a traditional website.  I have orthodontists and professionals from all over the world reading my content.
