I've been asked this question by many Holistic Practitioners.

"What is the right way (best way, perfect way, easiest way, etc.) to gain clients now?"

Well, here's my answer:

There's no right way to market your practice that will fit everyone. It's not a 'one size fits all' approach! And that's good news.

Besides gaining clients, marketing is a way for you to express yourself. Your unique gifts, skills and talents. It's specific to you.

I want to encourage you to develop and discover marketing strategies that fit your personality, schedule and communication style. it doesn't have to be complicated, just consistent!

Here are some tips to creating marketing that is best/works for you:

1. Choose one method
It can be writing articles. Blogging or a newsletter. Free teleclasses or workshops once a month. Are you active on forums? This can be an excellent form of getting yourself out there (just make sure you're offering a free taste so you don't get in the trap of offering f*ree advice!).

2. Schedule it
Mark it on your calender.  Treat it like a client that booked an appointment and it can't be moved or changed. Foster discipline, it will pay off I promise you! The main reason that people don't follow through with their marketing is because it's not a habit. When you were a child you had to be told to brush your teeth, now it's a habit. It can be the same with Practice building, but you have to schedule it or it will just be a wish.

3. Get a buddy
One of the main ways I've built my client base it by having partners or 'buddies' that kept me accountable. We would share our desires, struggles and challenges. It made a HUGE difference. I can't recommend enough having a Practitioner who you can 'pitch and catch' with. I still have marketing buddies that connect with regularly to get their feedback, insight and encouragement.

While attracting clients does take consistency and action, you don't have to feel you're climbing to your goal alone. By choosing a method that feels natural, making it a priority and getting support, you'll steadily attracting clients.

Take these three principles and apply it.

You'll soon see the flowers of your labor and become a more empowered Practitioner in the process.
