I really need some help as, it's not something myself or wife have ever been involved in.

My wife retrained as a podiatrist after having our kids and has been working in the NHS for the last couple of years. On the side (all declared) she treats a number of residents of our village, primarily all through word of mouth / Facebook recommendations from friends. She'd like to reduce her hours with the NHS but increase the private work to improve flexibility. She treats people in their own homes and that would likely continue.

I presume she will need a website to drive potential customers to her telephone and likely a Facebook page. Is it worth doing Twitter? Where do we start? Is this something we can do ourselves or should we bite the bullet and pay a professional? If it is something we can do ourselves are there any good books or blogs I can read to understand how it all works and what we'll need to do. There's so much stuff on the internet that I'm struggling to see the wood for the trees.

Any hints and tips gratefully received.

Cheers for the tips all. I suspect she'd be very good at the Facebook stuff especially writing copy about what she does - yes it's feet, but she can also do surgery, gait analysis for athletes and manufacture orthotics.

If we did a Facebook profile and set up a Twitter account etc, will a Website be required, I think that's where we'd struggle without professional help?
