 Welcome back so nice to see you guys so I've had a couple days off and what I've been doing was kind of getting organized so getting organized around the house getting organized with my business all of that. And what I wanted to do was to go through my dental hygiene software and see what patients are do in the next few months for their teeth cleaning and book them in because I feel really bad sometimes that I don't have an assistant and I don't follow up with patients if they're due for before their teeth cleanings as much as I probably should I look forward to them. Messaging me calling me and saying Andrea I'm due for my teeth cleaning let's book it in, but life gets busy people forget so I want to be a good business owner and kind of help remind them so anyways. I'm doing that, and I found a neat little tool within the software that tells me how many patients, I have, and how many patients, I have based on postal code so I have almost 500 patients how amazing is that I started this business, I would say, technically late 2018 so I've been a mobile dental hygienist since late 2018, but I was still working in the dental office at the time so I saw maybe a couple patients a month, I didn't really focus on it but it was November of 2019. When I moved when I said okay I'm going to do this full time this is what I love to do. I'm going to do this so I kind of want to say I started the business November 2019 so late 2019. It's now 2021 and I have almost 500 patients isn't that exciting. So for those of you out there who are a dental hygienist, and you want to have your own mobile dental hygiene business but you might be discouraged you might be thinking well why would people come to me and not a dentist. If I can do it, you can do it. If I can have just under 500 patients in less than two years, you can too. And this is me not working full time well I guess it depends on what you consider full time. It might be 10 to two every day. I usually take a couple days off I'm taking a couple weeks off in August, because I'm getting a puppy so I'm going to take a couple weeks off. So, and so I'm not working like 24 seven seven days a week either you know I feel sorry for those people who I don't care how much money you're making. If you have to work seven days a week 24 hours a day I'm not interested so if I have 500 patients, almost 500 patients. That's 4848 patients. If I can have that many and make a great full time income by working part time being a mobile dental hygienist, you can too. So why do people come to a mobile dental hygienist. Because they might be nervous to go to the dentist, and patients like knowing they have other options they don't need to go to a dental office to get their teeth cleaned. dental office scare a lot of people so why not come to my house where it's a lot more comfortable to get your teeth cleaned or I go to them as a mobile dental hygienist so you might be wondering how did I get almost 500 patients. The first thing I did was advertise in in groups on Facebook. That's what I did I know I was that person writing those business posts, but I didn't write it in a business type of way. How I would post and I kind of talked about more of this inside my course mobile rdh Academy, where I teach other dental hygienists how to have their own mobile dental hygiene business. But my post was kind of like hi everybody. I'm new to town I just would like to extend the offer. I'm a mobile dental hygienist that comes to your home. If you're nervous to go to the dentist or if you would like your teeth cleaned and your whole family's done the same day in the comfort of your own home, I can help you. And that's something that simple. And that's how I booked patients. And then from there, those patients would be so happy that they would tell their neighbors friends family and then that's how I kept booking more people, I would literally come home at the end of the day, and I would have at least five new messages from people saying hey you just saw so and so they were so happy. I didn't know that mobile dental hygiene was a thing can you help me. So it's truly an amazing thing so now I don't advertise it's all word of mouth. I do have a business page on Facebook. I do have a website but it's a very minor website because I prefer people to go to my business page on Facebook. That's how I keep tracking book appointments super easy, because I don't have an assistant to make the phone calls for me nor do I have time for that it's all done on Facebook. Thank you Facebook. So if I can do it, you guys can do it too now it's all word of mouth, and I'm still getting new patients every single month I want to say on average it's about five patients per month. This month actually in July isn't over I've seen 10 new patients so it really does depend, but I keep getting new patients so I'll do the video I'll do another video in a year's time to see how many more patients, I have. So thank you guys so much for listening comment below with any questions and I'll talk to you guys in the next one.
