It was a very interesting segment to say the least.

The new Facebook design will also be more popular with advertisers as there are more ‘Sponsored’ advertisements with images. I recommend you take advantage of this, even if you don’t have a Facebook page. You can advertise on Facebook and drive them to your website or blog targeting orthodontic information about your practice. Very smart Internet marketing tactic on many levels and much less expensive than paid advertising with PPC programs if set up correctly.
You also can make your Business Facebook profile more personal with photos and written content highlighting your strengths. Make sure you don’t forget the video. If you aren’t creating video testimonials and answering top “consumer orthodontic questions” about your practice…. it is time to get moving. Equipment is very inexpensive… but make sure you buy the right camera with an external microphone and use a monopod to stabilize. The kodak zi8 camera is much better than the Flip camera and allows you to add an external microphone for better audio.
