[humanser] recluting patients?

[Merry Schoch]

The calls I receive are varied; however, if I get one a month it pays for
the advertising.  There are times I don't get any in a month and then I get
a flux of them.  The summer was slow but the first week of September things
picked up and are moving at the pace I like for the moment.  After my
licensing exam is completed I plan on marketing more proactively.

Mary,
How many calls do you get from clients a week or a month, by advertising on
Psychology Today?

>>  HI guys
>> I'm seeking ideas on how to reclut patients? I used to have my 
>> practice about fifteen minutes walking distance from my old house, 
>> thus my folks would walk me there to attend. However I've moved, thus 
>> here at home I'm wanting to start again recluting patients; letting 
>> them know I'm available, also maybe getting patients from around this
> area, but how?
>> 1.-For about four months, I'I've been doing an online psychology 
>> program via an online station radiogeneral.com hoping to maybe atract 
>> patients locally, but is Internet radio an everyday thing so that 
>> people listen to it? I've been tweeting with the hashtag of #Tampico 
>> to see if maybe locally I attract? Also word of mouth by relatives?
>> 2.-Apart from word of mouth, any other ideas of maybe writing up and 
>> distributing flyers?
>> Thanks for info.
