Launching a Facebook page for a medical practice

After publishing our latest blog post entitled Facebook can be your Friend, we were asked “Hey guys, that’s great, but how do I get started?”

Social media speaker and trainer, Mari Smith, wrote a user friendly step-by-step primer on launching a Facebook page for a business over at Social Media Examiner.  Her article, Facebook 101 For Business: Your Complete Guide starts with the assumption that you have a personal Facebook page.  From there, she guides the reader through reviewing their profile, making friends lists to separate content from personal and business friends, privacy settings, and finally, launching a business profile.

It all applies nicely to a medical practice. At the conclusion, Mari sets a goal of obtaining between 500-1000 fans. For a smaller practice, this may not be possible.  For now, don’t let numbers intimidate you, Facebook is an excellent way to connect informally with your patient base.
