I am looking for an article for my website about social media marketing and why massage therapists choose to do this, how it can help, etc. If anyone has expert advice in this area and is interested in writing about this please let me know.

I just received this email from the Healing Touch community. Greg Pitstick did a training last year around this same time, which I took. It was definitely worth my time. It's all online, so you can watch it at your convenience. Though at the end he's "selling" his services, he also gives a lot of good information during the free training. I really do recommend it. You'll need to register asap. Laurie

Dear Laurie,

I wanted to remind you to register for the free online training event "How to Attract Clients Without Selling" being offered free to our community by Greg Pitstick and Smart Guide To Marketing.

The online training event will be held Thursday October 21, 2010 at 9:00pm eastern time , but there are only 3 days left to register.

*** It will only take a minute, so just click on this link to register: www.smartguidetomarketing.com/sp/ss-r-1/

In case you're in need of a new website, or an upgrade, I highly recommend using WordPress. WordPress is easy to use, and means that you never have to have a Webmaster again. I have been following these FREE WordPress webinars, presented by GoForYourDream, and I recommend them highly.

Facebook Advertising and Facebook Marketing is much more involved than just learning how to place 'pay-per-click' ads on Facebook.

I've put together (and will continue to expand) a webpage that contains a ton of free marketing and advertising tips on how to utilize Facebook to attract clients.

Please stop by and visit, here: Facebook Advertising.

Also, please share your favorite applications on Facebook, any great articles that have assisted you, etc., etc. I will then add them to this webpage.

Thanks and have an excellent day!

Kris Kelley

I thought I posed this somewhere, and I'm sure I did but can't find it, so I'll paraphrase ;)

Facebook has now taken over the #2 spot for searching on the Internet, passing Yahoo!

We'd like to utilize social networking to keep up with alumni, hear their stories, as well as share our offerings. We also like to share our workshop offerings. We have great respect for our instructors and we seek out the finest hands-on instructors for CE to offer the massage community, not just for fulfilling State or National requirements, but for deep, transformational and cutting-edge education. You can find more information here...http://asismassage.com/continuing-education-massage-therapist/arizo.... We also like to have our staff answer questions that come up as a fun activity in various forums.

Personally, I love the intention of connection virtually but I'm more kinesthetically wired and enjoy more direct contact with my friends other than typing away. On my own facebook, I've had several clients book sessions with me after typing in my status something like, " Bradley Blalock learned another modality over the weekend...Rocking the Body: Integrative Connective Tissue. I'm humbled by all the wisdom that was passed on over the ages to get to this time and place where such an effective confluence of so many modalites can be distilled and shared via science and intuition."

Peace to you,
Bradley Blalock
