Highlights from Episode 43

In this episode we answered the following questions:

Question 1: Ken Holmes (Vancouver, BC) – “What are the differences between single vs. double opt-in email marketing for therapists?”

Juliet explained that single opt-in email marketing is where you submit your email and name and you are added to the person’s email list straight away. Double opt-in is where the web visitor enters their information and then receives an email link where they are asked to confirm their subscription.  The email subscriber must click on the confirmation link in order to be added to the list.

Juliet said that single opt-in can sometimes get you more subscribers on your email list because often people miss the second link (it may go into a spam mailbox) or don’t bother to click on it to confirm. She added, however, that double opt-in has benefits, in that if someone confirms their subscription, they are probably more interested in your service. Juliet also said that double opt-in prevents spam or bogus email addresses being added to your list.

Clinton agreed that double opt-in email marketing for therapists allows for less false leads. He suggests that if someone feels they have been added to an email list without their permission, they should unsubscribe but that they should also mark that sender as spam with the Email Service Provider. This may mean that the sender’s account will be penalized. Juliet confirmed that there are email marketing laws in the US and Canada which should be followed.

Question 2: Jill Henry and Associates (Lane Cove, NSW, Australia) – “What are the copyright laws when referring to a piece of content on the web?”

Clinton stated that the best way to reference content online is to mention the person and to link to their website if possible. He shared that many people will appreciate you sharing their content. Clinton stated that linking back to other’s content is particularly important in blogging as the other person will usually be notified that you have linked to them. Clinton advised that you shouldn’t share or use other people’s images as your own as this can infringe on copyright.

Juliet added that it would be infringing copyright to take someone’s article or text and post it on your site as your own. You must ask permission of the author to publish another person’s piece on your website.

Question 3: Care Turner (Vancouver, BC ) – “Can you please provide some guidance on adding a therapist associate in my therapy practice?” 

Juliet mentioned that a therapist associate and a sub-contractor are basically the same in that neither is an employee. She advises Care that she should decide what she will offer the associate – be those referrals, marketing services, administrative services, etc.- and then base the percentage of what she will take from the associate depending on what she offers. Juliet said that some people involve a lawyer in this procedure depending on how complex the agreement needs to be.

Clinton recommends that Care should speak to her accountant because the agreement must be ethically sound, clear and detailed. With his associates, Clinton explained that he covers all their costs. When his associate then sees clients, he takes a percentage of each of their therapy sessions. Clinton also suggests adding a clause about conflict resolution into the agreement. He and Juliet add that the agreement could include an exit plan, protecting you and the therapist associate should the agreement end.

Darlee-headshot “When I was first referred to you for help with marketing I was lost and I didn’t know what to do to build my massage therapy practice. I was afraid to take any steps in fear of taking the wrong ones. You helped me create a great message on my website focusing on my ideal clients and then you helped me market my practice effectively. With your expert knowledge and skills, I became excited and motivated about my massage practice again. Most importantly, I have 3 times as many clients! Thanks … Read more

  Moira-headshot“I would highly recommend Juliet as a copywriter and a marketing coach to anyone who is starting up in business. Her copywriting skills alone are worth their weight in gold. I wasted more than £600 on two previous websites until Juliet helped me write the copy on my current site. It’s proving to be very successful in attracting clients. I can’t thank Juliet enough for all the help and encouragement she gave me. You may think she is costing you money, but I promise you her help and advice… Read more

“My practice filled very quickly after Juliet wrote the copy on my website. I recouped my investment – and more– within a few months of having my website up. I know the reason for this is the tight, targeted copy on my site. How do I know this? Because when people write me to let me know they want to work with me, their emails are very personal. They tell me how much my website copy resonated with them and are ready to commit to working with me before we have even spoken! My practice is now… Read more
