Are you tired of offering freebies on your website that no one downloads? In this episode of the Private Practice Podcast, I share the new way to attract more inquiries and client bookings using interactive, implementation-based resources that actually work.
Traditional PDFs and ebooks no longer carry the value they once did—thanks to AI, clients can find the same information in seconds. But by creating interactive tools that provide real results and experiences, you can build trust, credibility, and genuine engagement that turns website visitors into paying clients.
This episode is for therapists, counsellors, psychologists, social workers, and play therapists who want to stand out in private practice. You’ll walk away knowing how to:
Replace outdated freebies with tools that actually convert
Build stronger connections and authority with potential clients
Use interactive resources across multiple areas of your practice—supervision, referrals, waitlist support, and even passive income
Get a quick win by evaluating your current freebie and making it more engaging
Quick Action Step: Review your freebie today and ask yourself—does this help my client create a real change or result? If not, it’s time to update it into something more interactive.
