Episode: Create Content That Leads To Cash Flow
Release Date: June 18, 2025
Host: Heather Terveen

Introduction

In the June 18, 2025 episode of the Med Spa CEO Podcast, host Heather Terveen delves into the pivotal role of content creation in driving cash flow for med spas and aesthetic practices. Heather emphasizes the necessity for boutique med spa owners to develop effective content strategies to grow their profits without succumbing to burnout.

The Importance of Content Creation for Med Spas

Heather opens the discussion by referencing Dan Kennedy's analogy that "your content should be like a dog whistle," meaning it should resonate specifically with your target audience (00:00). She underscores that modern business ownership, regardless of the industry, essentially requires functioning as a mini media company. This transformation presents immense opportunities for visibility and lead generation through digital platforms like social media, websites, and SEO.

Challenges in Content Creation

A significant portion of Heather's clientele comprises practitioner owners—physicians, NPs, PAs, RNs, and estheticians—who often lack formal training in content creation. This deficiency leads to creative exhaustion and hampers business growth. Heather notes, "if content feels hard for you, it is not because you're lazy or lacking brilliance. It is simply because you have not developed the skill set in this area" (08:30).

Many med spa owners resort to outsourcing content creation to third-party marketing and social media agencies. However, this approach can inadvertently lead to a dilution of the business's unique voice and vision. Heather warns against "abdicating the creative leadership of your business to a third party," emphasizing the importance of maintaining control over content direction to preserve authenticity and authority (12:15).

Solutions: Avoiding 'To Whom It May Concern' Content

Heather introduces the concept of the "to whom it may concern content problem," where content lacks personalization and fails to connect emotionally with the audience. This generic approach causes content to get lost in the saturated market. She advocates for "authority infused content" that resonates deeply with the target audience by addressing their specific needs and aspirations.

Examples of Effective Content

To illustrate the difference between bland and engaging content, Heather provides several examples:

1. Contouring Package

   • Generic: "Our contouring package helps define your features and reduce fat in stubborn areas. Book a consult today to find out which treatment is right for you." (20:45)
   • Resonant: "Our signature contour package was designed for women who are ready to reclaim structure without surgery... Dan Kennedy famously said that your content should be like a dog whistle. And what that means is that for the right person, they're going to hear that whistle that you're blowing." (03:15)

2. Brightening Treatment

   • Generic: "Our brightening treatment helps reduce dullness and improve your skin tone using medical grade facials and serums. Book a consult to get glowing." (25:30)
   • Resonant: "There's a difference between skin that looks good with makeup and skin that glows on its own... This isn't just about weight loss, it's your authority over your health." (28:10)

3. Weight Loss Program

   • Generic: "Our weight loss program helps you lose weight and feel better using customized injections, meal plans, and accountability coaching. Schedule your free consult today." (35:50)
   • Resonant: "You're not lazy, you're not unmotivated, you're just done wasting time on plans that don't understand your body or your lifestyle... This isn't just about weight loss, it's your authority over your health." (38:20)

Building Authority and Resonance

Heather emphasizes that content should make the audience "feel seen" by addressing their specific problems and showcasing how the med spa's offerings provide unique solutions. Incorporating storytelling and client testimonials can significantly enhance the emotional connection and credibility of the content.
