Subscribe to Introduce your bad indie self Hello, everybody!

Hi. I just joined biznik. I am a recently graduated Naturopathic and Chinese Medicine physician in Portland, OR. I would love to network with some folks who could offer some advice on starting my practice and/or using this site. I look forward to talking with you all.

    Welcome to Biznik Genevieve! The best advice I might give you to start your practice is to ask for an interview of a successful Naturopath/Chinese Medicine physician around your area and perhaps offer to buy them lunch in return for their time. Also, you might talk with power partners that would be good referrals for you (i.e. massage therapists, accupunturists, nutritionists, etc.)

    Get involved in the neighborhood where your business will be located. You can contact the City or the local Chamber of Commerce to find out what volunteer opportunities are available and groups to join that you might have a passion for.

    Make sure you have a website and create your Unique Selling Proposition based on your conversations with your successful competition. If you have a website, consider creating a blog RSS feed so that your content is changing.

    Then, most important, consider becoming a supporting member of Biznik and using the powerful search optimization tools to drive more traffic to your personal site.

    Best wishes!

    Helen
