HOW did YOU INTRODUCE HYPNOSIS TO YOUR FAMILY? FRIENDS?
Start by telling them you're going to help people have better lives and be happier. Then tell them the tools you intend to use to help with that. Hope it helps! Ed

Great blog, Ed; thank you for the encouragement and advice. I'm looking at my fledgling website from your viewpoints now...
Thank you for sharing. I am currently working on my website so this is very helpful!
Hi Tamara
I definitely agree with you. It's horses for courses, you need to choose the media according to your message and what you do.
Many of my clients are seeing me for non-medical issues and so blogs may be relevant. For instance, posting in…
I see your points but I do have issue with \a part of point 4 .......posting in blogs to gain new clients? hmm

Be interesting to hear your results Roger and if I can dig out any studies or research I'll be sure…
For terminology, I say use the language the client uses. And if it's negative help them to GENTLY reframe it.
Looks like you're all doing a fantastic job and this is a very valuable community. Well done guys for getting it going like this. I know a…
ps. The story itself is indeed beautiful Kelley. Well done for finding it!
But I see no mention specifically of afterlife. For many clients in pain or suffering or searching for meaning, the conclusion could easily be that it is a metaphor for peac…
I think the key with any such metaphor is to create a powerful story and framework for the client to join the dots and make their own unconscious conclusions.
A beautiful story is just that. Clients might not see it as the afterlife, they may see i…

Marketing 101 For Hypnotherapists Part 6 - A Very Quick Question Every Hypnotherapist Should Be Able To Answer
This is a copy of a post from my own blog but I think it's relevant enough to republish here...

Do you sometimes feel that you’re selling yourself a little short or that there must be more success and fulfillment right under your nose?

Marketing 101 for Hypnotherapists Part 4 - Who are your real competitors and what can you do to knock them off their perch? The formula for rapid success
I've always argued strongly that your real competitors are NOT other hypnotherapists but other solutions to the same problems you help with.
Why not, stop fighting with your colleagues for the handful of people looking for hypnotherapy specifically and realize there is a much bigger game going on out there.
Step 1
What are you really good at and passionate about?
Stop chasing clients you have no energy for and start really thinking about the issues and specialisms you have a strong affinity fo… Continue

Christine Ditchfield said… - Hi Ed, thanks for the friend invitation. Your knowledge and information has crossed my path at the perfect moment. I've started putting into place some of the info I gained from Secrets of a Successful Website and Building a Successful Practice. I'm feeling very excited about the coming year and integrating the knowledge you share. Many thanks, Christine

Jean Young said… - Hi Ed, Just to say thank you very much for the 5 day email course. I found it very informative and interesting. Hopefully I am now putting at least some of it into practice. Just wanted to ask if you would mind having a look at my website and let me know what you think. I built it myself, (the first time I have attempted something like this)!! It is quite basic, but sometimes less is more.
I would be interested to hear what you think, either good or bad.
Kind regards, Jean. www.sholinghypnotherapy.co.uk

Tommy have you met Peter Reveen? He lives in Vegas and is Lance Burton's manage now.
Bereavement is not necessarily about losing a loved one. It can be anything that shatters you to the point where your life feels like a puzzle with the pieces scattered to the four winds.
How can we help?
