I do MBTI Personality Type consulting and archetypal life coaching, and my clients often find it really informative how their stress is both related to their personality type and their dominant archetypes, but I don't know if my free guide concerning such is meeting people's needs. Thanks in advance, Kristine" 2. Cory http://www.commitmentcounselling.com "I am starting a private practice after moving back to Canada. I am struggling with how to become known so I can start to build up a clientele. I do believe the best form of advertising is by word of mouth, but you need clients in order to initiate this!

I have been blogging almost every week for the last 14 months. I know that this is current "heresy" not to have a specific niche, but I am a "generalist" who has successfully been working with individuals, couples, parents, and adolescents for over 30 years. On the menu bar of my website is "Blog". When you click on that, the most recent 10 blogs appear, with additional pages of blogs at the bottom for the viewer to browse. As of now, my blogs are all jumbled together. My question is this: Is it better to leave things the way they are, or have a Blog dropdown menu for Individuals, Couples, Parents, and Adolescents? If not a dropdown menu, do you have another idea that you like better? Many thanks for your time in responding to this!" 2. "I'm not sure if I am getting clients from my directory listings. How many therapy directories should I be listed on? Right now I am on 2 - Psychology Today and Good Therapy." 3. "I noticed that not many people are opening my emails - about 20%. How can I get more people to open them? It doesn't seem worthwhile to keep sending emails to my subscribers if only 20% open them."

I really don't want another website for the reasons you mention but is it possible to have a separate blog for therapist training? I.e. I don't want to blog to therapists and clients in my main blog.

My blog style is quite personal perspective and insights. I have a more of a journalistic opinion style, reflection on life type of writing not as academic as a lot of other therapists so quoting is not something that I find drawn to when I write? Sorry long convoluted question!" 3. "My computer was hacked by randsomeware and I lost everything to do with my business- including my backups. I am devastated and overwhelmed.

Thanks." 2. "Hello Juliet and Clinton, There is a new hospital being built in the suburb next to mine + housing for 10, 000 being built over the next 10 years. I think this will be great for new clients between school hours because of the nature of hospital shift work. If I lived in that suburb, and I was searching for a counsellor, I wouldn't think to google my suburb + counsellor because it is small and there is not a lot here. What's the best way to start marketing to the hospital suburb? I thought of blogging about it in some way e.g. there is a massive uproar about the changes there but it doesn't really fit my niche. Thanks" 3. "Should I be writing blog posts to target different keywords? I've heard you mention keyword tools like Google Keyword Planner, but do you use this when you write a blog post?"

In this episode, Juliet and Clinton answer the following questions: 1) I'm struggling to build my practice. Are my fees to high? 2) Should I offer a discounted package of therapy sessions? 3) Do I need a separate website to market my therapist trainings? In this episode we answered the following questions: 1. Kat Huxtable - Facebook group "Hi all,  I'm looking for immediate ideas on what helped your private practices flourish or at least improve please! I've been here three years and having run a very successful practice in London (so I know I can do it!), I'm really struggling here and am now down to just working with UK clients via video conferencing. I'm wondering if my fees are too high ($130)? If I need to blog more? Find ways to advertise more? I don't really have a niche, although I do work with refugees (voluntarily) and trauma. I need do something now as we are in difficult financial times so any thoughts of immediate (and with no cost) ideas would be hugely appreciated. Thank you." 2. Sam "I'm a mental health Social worker and my clients only receive a rebate of $74.85 per session. My fee is $170 per session because I have two years of postgraduate university training on top of my four year SW degree and 2 years gestalt experiential training and 10 years experience. I think my fee is reflection of my experience and training and it's unfortunate the Medicare rebate isn't more equitable amongst various professionals. Anyway my question is how do I know if I'm charging too much? I often find clients are asking to spread sessions out further apart than is ideal because money is tight. This sometimes impacts on the treatment. Has anyone had success in offering payment plans? Or packages e.g. buy 5 sessions and receive the 6th session for free. Thus is probably also ethically complex! Any assistance will be appreciated I'm feeling stuck!" 3. Krystyna Louise "Hi all, those of you who do a sliding scale for fees - how do you calculate and market it? Anchored with official health care concession card at the bottom, I suppose?" Get the show notes with all the links and resources mentioned in this episode at http://askjulietandclinton.com/131.

What are the pros and cons of doing that?" 2. "I've made the decision to create a second website so I can promote my therapist trainings in addition to my clinical work. I'm worried it might be double the work, so how can I manage two websites without getting overwhelmed?" 3. "I have heard that Facebook ads are a good way of advertising. Once a week I boost a post that has a nice image promoting my counselling services but I haven't gotten any clients from these and I am spending about $50 per month. Should I continue?"

In 15 minutes, we will discuss your situation and determine....." What can I say that will be valuable and ethical at the same time. Can we say that we will help them determine what's the best next step for them on their path to healing? Thank you" 2. "I have such a hard time staying organized. I can't find things sometimes and I am all over the place working on different things, switching back and forth because I don't know what I should work on.

Do you think this niche will work?" 2. Pamela – Facebook group "Today I was trying to boost a Facebook blog. Facebook would not allow it to be boosted because they said it was too negative. What the? The heading is “What can you do if you suffer with depression and anxiety during and after pregnancy?” Any advice would be appreciated. I am really stuck." 3. Michael – Facebook group "I want to create a brief compelling, crystal clear marketing message/headline that will combine my two practice specialties and resonate better with my ideal clients. For marketing purposes, I have developed two separate niches and websites. One is focused on helping people with anger problems, the other is focused on helping people with more classic anxiety problems like OCD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, P.T.S.D. The “anger copy” has worked very well, but it can scare great clients away because they don't want to identify as “being an angry person”; even if anger has indeed been a lifelong problem. I've been marketing the anger specialty for about 15 years. The “anger niche” is often a magnet for completely non-ideal clients. I am looking for a compelling way to let people know that I am a seasoned therapist that can help in lots of ways, but I have specialties in both anger and anxiety...that I help people calm down and heal the roots of chronic anxiety and anger. I receive quite a few referral from colleagues. Many of these referrals express doubts and reservations about working with me, because they have come across my anger management copy and it scares them. Fortunately some of my referral sources will send a “warm” referral who has been reassured that I “don't just work with anger”. So I would love to have a brief, simple way to focus my marketing message that could make it easier for a client to identify with. I welcome any suggestions at all!"

Thank you, Jeannette 2. "I am re-writing my website and trying to come up with a headline. I have heard Juliet talk about headlines before saying that they should have a problem or a benefit in them.

Here are some questions I thought of: Do you want help with your relationship? Do you and your partner fight all the time? Do you want a better relationship?" 3. Facebook group–Dalila "Does anyone know of a platform that can be used for the creation of a directory? I would like it to be online with different categories, but where people can input their own information.

It has taken so long to get to this point, and I can't believe it's not what I wanted. I haven't paid any fees to the designer at this point. What advice do you have for me in this difficult situation?” 3. “Since becoming serious about my practice, I've learned that numbers are important, which for me has never been fun. So I am wondering what are the numbers I should be looking at in my business and how often (weekly/fortnightly/monthly) should I look at my numbers? Also, what free software do you recommend for tracking your numbers if I can't afford a monthly accounting software subscription?” Get the show notes with all the links and resources mentioned in this episode at http://askjulietandclinton.com/101.

In episode 100 Juliet and Clinton answer these questions: 1) Should I have a Facebook group for a niche that may not want their problems to be known? 2) Is it ethical to get someone to write my ebook for me? And 3) Should I collect full names for my email list? In this episode we answered the following questions: 1. “I'm feeling a bit stuck with my new niche website / FB page. I've been helping people deal with problems with pornography for more than 5 years now, and I'm really comfortable talking about it in session. I'm also convinced that I am adding value and helping unknot some difficult relationship problems. So I had a niche website built. However, now that it's finished and I am trying to promote it and my FB page, I've choked a bit. My concern was (is) that I have set myself up in a niche that is going to be hard to get anyone to 'Like' or support me in a social media forum. I am concerned that were people to 'Like' what I am doing, they would feel that they outing themselves as having a pornography problem, or someone close to them has one. I've even have a close family member baulk, concerned that it would come up in their feed.” 2. “I want to write an ebook, but I don't want to write it myself. Is it ethical to get someone else write my book and use my name? Are there people who will agree to this? If so, where can I find them?” 3. “Thank you for all the helpful information - your podcasts and blogs have been invaluable to me as I build my practice! I am a trauma and addiction therapist in Vancouver. I have just created a new website and am launching a blog focusing on the connection between trauma and addiction. As I build my email list on my website, I am wondering about collecting full names and emails as opposed to just email addresses. Obviously, more information about subscribers is helpful. But how willing are people in providing name as well as email? Is there any ethical consideration around collecting this information?” Get the show notes with all the links and resources mentioned in this episode at http://askjulietandclinton.com/100.
