TENTANG EPISODE INI
Tired of the "post and disappear" cycle of traditional social media? I talk in this video about why I think YouTube is the most sustainable way to grow an aligned therapy practice and connect with the right clients.
I share my journey of moving beyond short-form platforms to build a sustainable presence on YouTube, covering the unique benefits for mental health professionals, including:
• Why YouTube’s search power (and connection to Google) gives you huge visibility
• How long-form content helps clients feel connected before they even meet you
• Why YouTube is a slower burn, but far more sustainable than Instagram
• How to use YouTube as part of a wider ecosystem (website, directories, podcasts, social media)
• The role of AI, search, and community in growing your reach
• How YouTube can lead to multiple income streams (clients, talks, mentoring, collaborations)
• The personal and professional growth that comes with creating a channel and posting consistently
• What I wish I’d known before starting (including unpredictability, consistency, and visibility)
More than half of my clients now come through YouTube and, more importantly, it’s enabled me to build a practice that feels aligned and sustainable.
