Social Networking is a huge phenomenon that has taken itself widespread throughout the Internet. It seems as though almost everyone has either a Myspace or Facebook account, and uses it regularly. Specific industries are taking advantage of this concept as well. You can find industry specific social networks all over the internet. But why are we not hearing more about this in our very own Dental Industry?  We should not be left behind. Dentists need to be able to advertise themselves as well as their practice. Each dentist has marketability individually, even without a dental practice. There is no better way to market an Individual online than through social networking.

Dentists should not be left behind in this momentum that is taking place with Internet marketing. If you are a dentist, go to Facebook.com, Linkedin.com and any other social network of your choice and create an account. Upload photos, share your profile etc. Advertise yourself as  a “Doctor” and you will find your online reputation grow. Your practice website traffic will increase and thus, generating more new patients to your office. If you don’t know where to get started, leave a comment to this article with your questions and I personally will help you get started.
