In this episode, we answer questions on how colors affect the actions your website visitors take, how to network with professionals in the same field and how to market counseling services as a package.

In this episode we answered the following questions:

     1. Jodie Gale – www.jodiegale.com

“I heard somewhere that using red for your sign-up button or call to action is a no-no. My current website uses a lot of red, as will my new website so I am curious!”

     2. Ellie Hodges – www.elliehodges.com

“How do you connect with other professionals in your area seeking collaboration without them feeling competitive toward you? Or how do you tell others about services you offer (eg a group program) that they don't when you have the same niche?

     3. Helen Larkey –Facebook group - helenlarkey.com

“Is it a good idea to offer blocks of counseling sessions a bit like the coaches do? eg 3 months or 6 months I seem to be doing a lot of crisis work in my practice as a relationship therapist someone has had an affair or someone is about to walk out. Clients say that they have got a lot out of the sessions and I have had some wonderful testimonials but when you know there is more work needed and they cancel an appointment and then tell you things are ok so they don't need to come back. Or is this just the nature of the work? Hope this makes sense.”

In this episode, we answer questions about how to sell a package of workshops through your website, how to find your target audience online, and how to get your business more attention and exposure in the media.

In this episode we answered the following questions:

1. Jodie Gale – Facebook group 

Hi, Juliet and Clinton,“I am in the process of updating my website. I currently offer Saturday afternoon SOUL sessions. There is one x 2-hour space available each week. Because I sell these as a package, I would like a 'book/buy now' style button, which I would like to link to available dates and a payment button. Because this is just one session a week and my private practice is part-time (with weekly, long-term clients), I don't need to invest in a full-on booking system right now. What other options are there? Or would a PayPal-style system suffice?"

1. Julianne www.balancedwellness.com.au

For the past 15 years my work has been Chinese massage (Tui Na), and counselling for the past 5 years. My question is how do I move towards finding my target audience for Teaching Qigong to help people who are stressed in their body and mind and want improvement in general health?”

1. Alison Howarth – Facebook group – penrithcounselling.com.au 

“I'm really curious about SourceBottle. Sourcebottle is a site where you can respond to people wanting to interview experts in the media, but I rarely see a question for my specialization, which is Domestic Violence – DV recovery and counselling for women.  I was wondering if it's worthwhile going pro for $25/week? Are there other ways I can get the attention of the media for my niche?

In this episode we answer questions about the best way to sell meditations on a website, how to choose the best keywords for your website, and how to manage client inquiries when you have a full practice.

In this episode we answered the following questions:

“Hello Clinton and Juliet,I would like to record some meditations to sell on my website. What is the best system to record these? And, then to sell them, what is the best payment system?  Thanks!”

1. Maria Pirona - Atherton, QLD (from Facebook group)

“Hi Clinton and Juliet, I apologise if you have covered this in past podcast episodes. I haven't listened to them all yet. With regards to keywords, when one is setting up a blog and/or website, I know the idea is that we use these words frequently throughout our content so that Google picks them up. Just wondering how frequently we should use them and where they are most powerful/salient in the eyes of Google. Obviously a word like 'counselling' is very competitive for Google's attention so are we best to use niche terms that a potential client may search?”

1. Kim Boivin - Facebook group 

“Hi, thanks for all the amazing guidance you offer! I have a question I'm feeling stuck with: how do I best manage a pretty full practice? Actually, first, what is considered a full practice? Clients are often having to wait about 3 weeks to book in now. How do I know when to pause taking new clients? Thank you!”
