Inside Aesthetics Rick O'Neill - 'The Deep Digital Dive - Social media & content strategies (Chapter 1)' #193
Episode 193 hosts Rick O'Neill, a digital marketing expert from Brighton, UK. (Rick previously joined us for our 5th webinar during the lockdown of 2020 and also in episode 134 of the podcast)
Rick has over 20 years of experience and is the founder of Look Touch Feel (LTF), an award winning digitial marketing agency who specialise in supporting aesthetic practitioners & plastic surgeons.
In this episode we introduce our new mini-series called the 'The Deep Digital Dive' (sponsored by LTF). Over four chapters we'll better understand some of the core pillars of digital marketing to help injectors and clinics get to grips with this side of their business.
In chapter one we focus on social media and content creation. We explore:
- What we mean by digital marketing and why it's so vital for injectors & businesses
- What social media is and what it's purpose is
- The main channels: Instagram, Facebook & Tik Tok
- What exactly each channel does in it's simplest form and how each channel differs
- Instagram - why it's the most popular social media channel chosen by injectors
- How Instagram has evolved and why it's far harder to grow your account now
- Follower numbers vs engagement
- Why relying on Instagram for your social media & content strategy is very dangerous
- What function Facebook does better than Instagram (and maybe even Zoom)
- Tik Tok and how it creates viral content so quickly
- Why this doesn't necessarily mean new business for clinics and injectors
- YouTube & why injectors should consider using it for content
- Content strategies and planning social media
