Being a physical therapist can be a very spiritually fulfilling job. After all, helping people regain full use of their limbs and bodies after injuries and accidents gives them a new lease on life, one they could only have achieved with your help.
But while the gratitude of your patients does add to your career satisfaction, financial rewards are also important. If you are a physical therapist, there are many additional ways for you to make money - and a large number of these opportunities can be opened up to you by getting a domain name and a blog.
With those two elements, you'll suddenly find yourself open to and gaining from a large number of benefits, both financial and professional.
1. Create A Good And Long Lasting Reputation Online
In many professions, having a great reputation goes a long way towards ensuring success. Within these professions, word of mouth is paramount and the more people that know you and your work, the better it is for business.
One great way for you to enhance your reputation is to set up an online blog devoted towards your profession. Blogging offers you the opportunity to 'toot your own horn' without overtly selling yourself through advertising.
It also allows you to build trusting relationships with your visitors by providing useful and valuable information on physical therapy through your blog posts and website in general. Ultimately, being online gives you and your services an opportunity to be seen and noticed all over the world, over time forging a valuable reputation that will spill over onto your offline work.
2. Create Business Opportunities
Aside from building up a distinct reputation for yourself online, your blog at your personalized domain can create a multitude of financial opportunities for you. By adding just a few elements to your blog - such as an integrated shopping cart that will allow your visitors to pay you using their credit cards - you can certainly start to earn money by providing information online.
For example, one way for you to provide information in return for money is by creating an e-newsletter for your visitors. Thus, any of your visitors who wish to have useful and important information sent to them directly to their inbox can sign up as a member of your newsletter by paying you a monthly subscription fee.
And in return for their monthly subscription, all you have to do is send out e-mails filled with your expertise (such as tips or tricks towards preventing physical injuries etc.) daily or weekly, depending on how much your charge. The more you charge, naturally the more valuable and regular the information you will be expected to provide.
Another way to make money is by writing eBooks. Simply condense a large amount of your expertise on a specific subject into an electronic book format (a PDF document, for example) and sell them to the visitors on your website for a fee. After all, people who visit your website are certainly interested in your services, so who better to sell your eBooks to?
There are certainly many advantages for you to provide your knowledge and services as a physical therapist online. And the sooner you get your domain, the better your chances of securing a domain that is your very own name!

I am 17 and when I was 13 I was molested...
By: Miss_Me | 13-07-2008
I am 17 and when I was 13 I was molested by a teacher over the period of a year. I have seen counselors and whatnot but I still don't know the extent of what happened as I (apparently) blocked out memories (eg. only remembering walking into a classroom and then the next thing I know I'll be leaving ten minutes after the bell). I would have panic attacks and nightmares and it would only be then I've get snippets of what happened but I'm doubting my own memory and don't wish to make false claims, if my mind is filling in the blanks incorrectly.Is what he did punishable by law? My school pretty much swept it under the rug because they're seen as an "up there" school and the only thing they did was change my classes and berate him and my parents didn't want me to change schools because of what happened because then "he would have won". I also know that a similar thing happened to a lesser extent to my friend but she was too scared to come forward. Does anyone have any advice? Please? Also, I don't know how to respond properly to sexual contact and have been unable to maintain relationships if the guy moves anywhere past a kiss. I know, in my head, nothing will happen and I'm meant to enjoy it or something but all I can remember is foreign, unwanted hands and feeling absolutely petrified. I know what I'm feeling isn't normal. Help?Also, I don't know how to shake off the stigma that's been attached to me as I told one of my "friends" in confidence why I had changed classes and she told a skewed version of it and now people think I am "an attention seeking, manipulative slut" (their words) and the idea has stuck since then. Any idea how I can set them straight without spilling my personal life? Any advice appreciated.I know this is long - I'm really sorry, but I've never been able to ask anonymously for help before and this isn't even the half of it :(Thanks for any advice, in advance :)
Heartache and children
By: shyandnaked | 13-07-2008
Wat would you do if you had a son or daughter who was angry at your whole family (aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters, brothers,) for a reason you weren't sure of, and they chose to estrange themselves from the family? What if you had made several attempts to write, call, visit, this person and they wanted no contact and gave you no explanations, and your heart was broken?

Grieving process for a 12 year old
By: petunyabug | 10-07-2008
What is the "normal" grieving process for a 12 year old? (It was his dad) I'm sure that is why he is sleeping a lot and staying in bed and being smart alecky. (yes, I know part of that is his age in general) I just need to know signs to look out for that there may be trouble brewing. Thank you!!
Dependent Personality Disorder?
By: wendi | 09-07-2008
My ten year old stepdaughter was adopted. Her adoptive mother died when the child was 3 years old. Now she can't do anything on her own. She can't make even minor decisions like what to wear. When she is asked a question or is asked to do something she will just stand there and stare like you are speaking another language. She constantly wants to be near her dad. I understand that it was hard losing a mother at three years old, but how do i get her to become more independent with minor decisions?
