That’s from the Film, Logan Lucky, and yes...we are going become “one of those Facebook boys” and get to know “all the twitters” too!Welcome, you’re here at The Beacon, so glad you found us! Prepare to have your Blind Spots Illuminated!In this Podcast episode we are getting Social with an introduction and primer to Social Media Marketing for your Practice.To start… Social Media is hard to get right, but easy to get wrong.Everyday, users send 500 million tweets, make 4.5 million likes on Facebook, and upload 95 million photos and videos to Instagram. Social Media is a powerful influencer in today’s competitive Marketplace. Everyone is doing it, using it and viewing it; the largest to the smallest businesses, Governments and Politicians, superstar athletes and actors, your friends, neighbors, and patients too, and so do you! Your Practice Needs a voice here also, but where do you start? What do you do? The choices are so numerous you can be overcome with “analysis paralysis” and do nothing, or keep doing the same thing you’ve been doing with the same results.Let’s make this simple with a few Rules for you to follow…## Rule 1: Your Practice Social Media should be nothing like your Personal Social Media.I know what you are thinking now, “I’ve got this, this is easy!” I do my own posts on Facebook, can send “tweets” on Twitter and am great at composing and posting Instagram shots. I end up with lots of “likes” and “shares” too. You say to yourself, “I’ll just do the same for my office and Practice”, and you do. But let’s be honest here, have you ever thought, “I’m doing this Social Media stuff, but am just not seeing the results like I would like!”Let’s face it; you have overheard colleagues at dental meetings brag about how many Followers and Likes they have. When you get home, you go online and to check those numbers and confirm that you are way behind! Being the competitive dentist that you are you commit to growing your audience. You think, If a 1000 likes are great, 2000 must be better, so you post away; staff pics, staff lunches, your lunch, birthday parties, donuts, gifts, thank you cards, patient pictures, and Holiday Announcements to start. You post signs at the office, “Like us on Facebook,” “Follow us on Instagram and Twitter.” You sit back and wait for new patients to call, but nothing, zilch, nil, nada, zero. Your experiment just confirmed the next rule.## Rule 2: Awareness is NOT ActionThe hard fact is that creating Awareness will not result in Action. Your patients know they should floss every day, but they don’t. Heck, you know the same and do you? You also know Mt Everest is the highest mountain in the world, but do not plan on climbing it anytime soon.Seth Godin, today’s Marketing Mastermind says…“Action comes from tension, desire, and fear. Action is the hard part.”As a side note, I highly recommend Seth’s newest book, “This is Marketing” . I’ll post information on this book in the show notes, be sure to check them out.Just because you post frequently, and even if patients see your posts, they are still unlikely to take action that leads to an appointment in your office.Action results from:* Tension - the feeling of not wanting to miss out on something.* Desire - the urge for something different, something better.* Fear - one’s concern for the consequences or losses if action is not taken.So what should you do?## Rule 3: Don’t Buy a BoostLikes and Follows are Vanity Metrics. If you have dabbled with your Facebook page, you have probably noticed that your posts don’t seem to reach many of your followers. Your observations are correct! Only 1-5% of your Followers who “liked” your page will see your update, that is unless you pay for an ad, or boost your post. Sorry, it’s the way Facebook makes its money and is unlikely to change.Stated another way, if “likes” and “follows” are so valuable, how can they be so easily purchased? I googled “buy facebook likes” to prove this and here is what I found shopping online.I can buy 10,000 Facebook “followers” for $290, and the same number of “likes” for $460. With Twitter, 2,500 “followers” costs only $100 and 10,000 “likes” for $150. Instagram is even cheaper; 10,000 “followers” for $70 and the same number of “likes” for $70. If “likes” and “follows” can be purchased by the thousands, the real value of each one must be questioned.Paying to boost your post will rarely return a profit. How can that be? Let’s dig deeper and ask, what did you receive for your boost investment? Possibly a few more Likes, Shares and Follows? But Awareness is not Action (remember Rule 2). You need a positive ROI (return on investment). Alternatively, let’s ask what would happen if your favorite Social Media account was suddenly deleted, hacked, or blocked? Where all those Likes and Follows now? Can you find and reach them? If not, they are all gone, along with your investment! A dental practice runs on a constant flow of patients and cash. You need patients in the chair, not Likes, and Follows.The costs to grow your online community and audience through “likes,” “follows,” and “shares” is difficult to monetize for a small business like a dental practice. Big Brands like Porsche, Harley Davidson, and Yeti, to name just a few, have a different objective with Social Media. They want to build Brand recognition along with a community. The Brand becomes the object of their Marketing rather than its various products. Big Brands have lots of money and time; a dental practice does not; it needs patients in the chair, not Likes, and Follows.Your goal should be to move your followers to your website where you own the asset and control their experience. With compelling, unique, and exciting content on your website written for your customer, you can leverage the power of the internet to find those who want to hear your message and be served by you. Finding and mobilizing your audience to Action will take some Marketing Online using the tenets of Rule 4.## Rule 4: Follow your A, B, C, D StrategyMarketing online is organized around the concept of a purchase funnel. Different stages within the funnel describe the customer interactions. An essential purchase funnel includes the following steps;A. Acquisition - build Awareness and user interestB. Behavior - user engages with your businessC. Conversion - the user becomes a customerD. Data Analytics - what’s working and what’s notLet’s expand on each funnel step now:A. Acquisition tells how your users found you. Visitors can come from a wide range of channels such as organic search engines (SEO, Content Marketing), website referrals, paid search, and social networks (YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram).B. Behavior reveals what your visitors do on your website and what actions they took.C. Conversion is when a user completes an action that you have defined as valuable to your business. A Conversion is your goal. A Conversion could be clicking a paid advertisement, viewing a video, downloading a brochure or promotional coupon, providing contact information, signing up for a newsletter, or calling you.D. Data analytics is used to assess the results of your business goals. What’s working, what’s not and adjust. Every interaction of your users with your website and their digital devices can be tracked and studied with Google Analytics.So, let’s get Social! Here is where Social Media, through precisely targeted Paid Advertising Campaigns, can find and connect you and your audience with a Call To Action. A Call To Action can be signing up for a newsletter, downloading a brochure or discount coupon, completing a form, or calling you. The effectiveness of this strategy depends on the content contained on your website, your home base for all web activity. Designing and deploying effective campaigns which include measurable goals and event tracking will likely require the input of a web developer. Creating engaging content and copy along with images and graphics that generate Value for your customers is best delegated to a content or marketing manager too.It is important to ask yourself… Are you being “anti”Social by annoying your customers?Today’s savvy customers are Value-driven, if they “smell” a sales pitch they will bounce off your site immediately. You must first create trust with the content on your website. Posts that are annoying, outdated, “cookie-cutter,” too numerous, too infrequent, too inconsistent, or lacking great content will all cause your potential customer to flee. Informing, educating, and providing answers to questions will improve the chances your visitors will take Action (rule 2 above) and become a customer. Remember, moving your customers to Action requires; tension for change, a desire for something different, or a solution for their fears. An added benefit is that all of these tactics will significantly enhance your SEO and improve your Google Search Rankings.I like to say:> “The fastest way to lose a customer is to waste their time!”> David Darab, DDS, MS, MBAThere is no “I” in Marketing, Seth Godin says repeatedly. Create your Social Media Messages and Campaigns to solve your customers wants, needs, and desires. Marketing Online allows pivoting your message quickly, guided by metrics from Google Analytics. Google Analytics is a free website analytics service offered by Google that provides insights into how users find and use your website. With Google Analytics, you can track the ROI for your marketing campaigns. Dentists love data, and Google Analytics is full of data that shows how your campaigns are performing. Using tracking codes, tags and cookies on your Paid Advertising, Social Media Posts and Campaigns you can gather data from almost any platform or website enabling you to monitor and measure each stop on your viewers’ journey. If you are not familiar with Google Analytics, check it out now, I will have a link posted on the show notes for you too.Let’s now put this information to use and design a campaign. Dental Membership Plans are a popular topic for practices today. Your strategy is to promote your Dental Membership Plan to potential new patients. Your tactics will include paid advertising on Facebook, and Instagram combined with new content on your website, a downloadable flyer and a sign-up form. Your content/marketing manager or your web developer will need to help create the ads along with the flyer and sign-up form, adding the necessary tracking codes and tags too. The ads can contain a variety of call-to-action buttons; sign-up, subscribe, learn more, or download.After all that is done, it’s time to sit back and analyze the results with Google analytics. Which call-to-action created the most conversions, or completion of the requested Action? How many leads were captured or brochures downloaded by the website? How many views of the new web pages were there? How much time did visitors spend on your site? With this data in hand, you can consider increasing the budget for those tactics that converted and adjusting those that fell short.And now, a bonus strategy; Remarketing. Remarketing shows ads only to individuals who have previously visited one of your digital assets. Remarketing allows you to design a digital strategy where your message is always in front of your most interested viewers when they browse other websites or use their favorite social media sites (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter). The beauty here is that it requires no effort on the part of your viewers, website cookies provide the horsepower. In a time when everyone is busy and easily distracted, Remarketing is a great way to keep your message front of your viewers.To wrap this up let’s start with a quote from George S. Patton:> “If everyone is thinking the same, then someone isn’t thinking!”> George S. PattonSocial Media is just that; about being Social. If you desire to make it into “Revenue” Media, then you will need to add some new strategies and tactics to the mix. The possibilities and options here are too numerous to count. Social Media is a busy and chaotic space, and everyone wants your attention. To cut through all the noise and find those want to hear your message, you must have laser focus on your audience. It all starts by answering two questions:1. Who’s it for?2. What’s it for?Seems simple, but it’s not, or everyone would be doing it. Creating Value in all that you do is critical. It’s an exchange. You provide something your customer values, and in return, they will give you the Action you desire. Time and effort are necessary to achieve the results you want. Social Media Marketing is not a “set it and forget it” strategy. Finally, in all things business, understand your ROI; what did you receive in exchange for your investment? Done well, you can convert your viewer’s “clicks” into new patients in your chair.Go ahead and give it a try!Remember to always analyze your results and change your tactics if needed.

Things just don't happen by accident, there is a natural process to all things. Take a garden for an example, plants do not just appear and produce fruit without being planted and nurtured. The is a process of preparing the ground, planting a seed, making sure it's watered and fed and the weeds and pests kept away from it. Then when the plant is mature, fruit will appear and you can enjoy green beans and tomatoes and peppers. There is a process for the Christ follower to be madeover into the image of Jesus. In this episode, we will be talking about what that process is and how a Christ follower matures into a fruit bearing little Jesus looking follower. Or something like that.

Remove the Guesswork: Health, Fitness and Wellbeing for Busy Professionals
How can you use your DNA as a tool to unpick some of the guesswork around what type of diet suits you and what type of exercise is best for you? Let’s deep dive into a personalised approach to health, fitness, and wellbeing by taking a look at our unique DNA. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/podcasts-blog for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: What is the DNA test and why you should be keen to take it How I transformed my diet What happens when you’re carbohydrate-sensitive Sensitivity to salt, caffeine, and alcohol The upshot of having a personalized diet Key Takeaways: It’s when you lose weight very slowly that it’s sustainable because you’re just making little lifestyle changes, and once they’re embedded in you, you move to the next one. Someone who has celiac disease cannot have any gluten in their diet. Sensitivity to alcohol is not about how much you can drink alcohol or how well you process alcohol in terms of a hangover. It’s about your sensitivity to alcohol in relation to cholesterol and whether you’re a fast or a slow metaboliser of alcohol. It’s prudent to be careful of sources of food that contain salt, but we’re now understanding that salt is not necessarily the culprit behind hypertension. Antioxidants help combat free radicals, which are cell-damaging molecules. A study has shown that increasing your portions of vegetables by just two and a half gives you extraordinary benefits in terms of reduced mortality. Action Steps: Remove some of the guesswork around your health, fitness, and wellbeing by taking the DNA test. Be mindful of how much salt you consume. Consume foods that are rich in antioxidants. Take a vitamin D3 test and see where your levels are at. Increase your portions of vegetables by two and a half. Leanne said: “It’s always best, I think, to do whatever you can to take the guesswork out of health. If you can do a simple little blood test to find our what your D3 levels are, do it before your supplement… Vitamin D3 toxicity does exist.” “The DNA is my genetic blueprint for good health. The blood gives me some real-time information about what’s going on.” Thanks for listening!

So I am lemon and candy JavaScript! 2:13 – Chuck: We are talking today about...? 2:22 – Chris: He’s talking about “inclusive components” today! 2:41 – Guest: Traveling is very stressful and I wanted something to do on the plane. I’ve done this book, “Inclusive Design Patterns.” If you don’t want to buy the book you can go to the blog. I have been talking with Smashing Magazine. 5:40 – Panel. 5:47 – Guest: I approached Smashing Magazine initially. They didn’t think there was a market for this content at the time. They were very supportive but we will do it as an eBook so our costs our down. At the time, the editor came back and said that: “it was quite good!” We skimmed it but came back to it now and now the content was more relevant in their eyes. I didn’t want to do the same book but I wanted to do it around “patterns.” Rewriting components is what I do all the time. I use Vanilla JavaScript. Backbone.js is the trendy one. 9:52 – Panel: The hard book did it get published? 10:02 – Guest: We are in the works and it’s all in the final stages right now. It has to go through a different process for the print version. 11:54 – Panel. 11:58 – (Guest continues about the editorial process.) 12:09 – Panel: They probably switched to TFS – it’s Microsoft’s. 12:23 – Guest: There was this argument on Twitter about the different processors. 13:35 – Chris: What are the ways that people are breaking accessibility with their code through JavaScript? 13:59 – Guest: The whole premise is that there aren’t a ton of different components that we use. Generally, speaking. Most things we do through JavaScript – it’s just different ways of doing this/that, and hiding things. I am discounting things with Node or other stuff. Most of what we are doing, with interactive design, is showing and hiding. 18:37 – Chris: I have some specialty friends where they tell me where I’ve screwed up my code. For example Eric Bailey and Scott O’Hara but, of course, in very kind ways. What are some things that I can make sure that my code is going to work for many different people. 19:18 – Guest: You have accessibility and inclusive design. People think of accessibility as a check-list and that’s okay but there could be problems with this. 26:00 – Panel: That’s a great guideline. 26:05 – Chris: You talked about ARIA roles and it can be confusing. One side is: I don’t know when to use these and the other side is: I don’t know when NOT to use these so I’m going to use them for EVERYTHING! I guess both can be detrimental. What’s your advice on this topic? 27:00 – Guest: Scott is great and I would trust him to the end of the Earth about what he says. Guest mentions Léonie Watson and her talks about this topic. 29:26 – (Guest continues.) 29:36 – Advertisement – Sentry.io 30:31 – Chris. 30:40 – Guest: There is a lot of pressure, though, right? People wouldn’t blog about this if it wasn’t worthwhile. It doesn’t matter what the style is or what the syntax is. The guest talks about not throwing ARIA onto everything. 36:34 – Aimee: Is this something that was mentioned in the book: people with disabilities and accessibility. 37:28 – Guest: Yes, of course. I think it’s important to make your interfaces flexible and robust to think and include people with disabilities. 39:00 – Guest mentions larger buttons. 40:52 – Panelists and Guest talk back-and-forth. 42:22 – Chris: It’s an accessibility and inclusivity element. I saw a dropdown menu and worked great on certain devices but not others. I could beat this horse all day long but the whole: what happens of the JavaScript file doesn’t load or just accordion options? 43:50 – Guest: It’s the progressive enhancement element. 44:05 – Guest: I think it’s worth noting. I think these things dovetail really nicely. 46:29 – Chris: Did you do a video interview, Aimee, talking about CSS? Is CSS better than JavaScript in some ways I don’t know if this is related or not? 47:03 – Aimee: When I talk about JavaScript vs. CSS...the browser optimizes those. 47:27 – Aimee: But as someone who loves JavaScript...and then some very talented people taught me that you have to find the right tool for the job. 47:29 – Guest: I am the other way around – interesting. 52:50 – Chuck: Picks! 52:55 – Advertisement – Get A Coder Job!
