Branding your practice through your own messaging is a far better
investment. You can pay for clients or create something that is
sustainable and long term oriented, which of the two makes more
sense? Those sites listed above probably do work but they aren't
a long term investment. They do not help build word of mouth like
a brand does. Invest in your own business not those listed above.
