my 1st month on google adwords i spent $50 and got a few paying customers. i plowed this back in and got even more customers.  after a couple of years it leveled off at about $600 per month bringing in with a ROI of about 500%.

Once you got your 1st satisfied customer, you have a network which can be leveraged.  Some practices have 80% of their new businesses as referrals.  [kind of like a perpetuity]

as you get more experience, you will profile your "best" customers and naturally target them in your marketing as well as your communications to "convert" them

Let the market demand (in your location and time) determine your niche not the other way around.

Word of mouth works well. Talk to everybody you can and let them know what you can do, then show them. Demo your skills. As you get people talking about your abilities, those who need, want or desire your offering will ask for help.

Go to your local newspaper and offer to give a free workshop to the staff for stress relief. Have your contact information available at the workshop for people who are interested in private sessions.

Be enthusiastic and friendly, and tell some good jokes. I would be surprised if the paper did not want to do a feature article about you and hypnosis!

google always gives out free coupons. ( I offer this group a $100 coupon last month)  vistaprint offers $25, some web hosters offer $50.

budget $5 a day at first. 

bid on keywords + geographic location

for example:

hypnosis Frederikssund

hypnosis hovedstaden

hypnosis copenhagen

 

as you get clients plow back some of the profit back into the campaign increasing budget until saturated.

Rank ur keywords and use the best ones to improve your ads as well as organic searches.

Be congruent with who you are and the type of clients you want.

Be with a purposeful plan. Just giving only a free presentation is nearly worthless until it is combined with another strategy to get clients. Just handing out a business card without a great pitch is throwing money into the wind. Organize your thoughts before you hit the pavement.

Dear Anders,

 

Before I became a hypnotherapist, I spent 25 years in sales.

I would recommend checking out www.meetup.com

Here you will find all sorts of groups meeting for various reasons. Find some that you are interested in and get involved! People will hire you when they know you! Put yourself out there!

Find some business networking groups where each person introduces themselves. This will give you a chance to stand up and tell everyone what you do.

 

Try putting small pin up posters with tear off phone numbers on free bulletin boards. (Laundromats usually have them)

 

Go to your office supply company and get a name tag with your clinic name on it...and wear it everywhere! (as long as you are dressed properly)

 

look for a charity that you can connect with a give a free "smoking cessation with hypnosis session" as a fundraiser. this usually will get media attention

 

Write articles for local newspaper or magazine.

 

A lot of the service clubs are looking for speakers for their weekly meetings and their websites usually have a place to get listed.  see Lions Club, rotary, Knight of columbus..etc.

 

I hope some of this helps.

Hello Vince, From my experience what works for me most is offering online live training, and it can gives you not only a great way to practice what you have learned but to share it and get paid for it.

Now as to google, It can work, but it won't make you a busy hypnotist that can generate six figure income or more per month, and sure there are many ways to do videos for free such as youtube, but even youtube wont help you get that much business, because once new or potential clients go to your youtube, they will become distracted with other youtube's on the side...

I own my own online web-tv channel without you-tube distractions, and I can go online when ever I want and start my own live training.
