Can social media realistically generate revenue for physical therapists?

In this episode, Jimmy talks with Tony Maritato about:

  • Growing from 2,000 to 60,000+ followers in one year
  • Turning patient education into monetized content
  • Why reposting “old” videos works
  • How one Facebook post generated $107 repeatedly
  • Why engagement (not followers) is the real metric
  • The shift back toward in-person, analog attention

Tony explains how he captures patient interactions during treatment (with consent), posts directly from his phone, and uses AI tools to analyze performance — without hiring staff or building a production studio.

If you’re a clinic owner, this matters because:

  • $2,000/month offsets overhead
  • Organic reach builds trust before a patient calls
  • You’re already creating content — you’re just not recording it

Key Takeaways* Your daily clinical work is valuable content * Reposting strong content is not penalized * Engagement beats follower count * Simplicity scales * Attention must be earned
