One of the best things about having a blog about Chinese Medicine is being connected to other colleagues. Other people who love Chinese Medicine just as much as I do.
I also get the chance to be updated with new ideas and new resources- it makes me feel rich, and it makes me understand just how much is being done in Chinese Medicine all around.
So this post will be dedicated to those new things I managed to pick up will surfing the Internet.
Insights For Acupuncture: Lisa Hanfileti is busy, busy, busy! After giving us live webinars and a wonderful e-Book, she brings us a new blog, packed with information about marketing your clinic.

One of the most amazing things about the Internet is the ability to have passive income.
These days, passive income can come from Google Adsense (one example of many options that are out there), and affiliate programs.
It seems that when it comes to Chinese Medicine, the affiliate program options are very slim- almost close to none.
There are a few programs out there, sure, but I keep wondering why there are just a few and not many programs.
In this post I will try to understand this issue, hoping to reach an answer and maybe help make a change.
Affiliate programs- huh?
As I e-mail with many practitioners around the globe, I find that many don’t know what an affiliate program is.
For the long and detailed version- click here (recommended).
Basically, when you have a website, you can recommend certain products and refer to a certain store to get more information and buy that product. If a person buys the product from your link- you get a certain percentage from that sale. More people buy through your links equals to making more money.
Amazon is a great example for an affiliate program that helped make an on-line store huge. With thousands of people on their affiliate programs, they are a well-known on-line store, with thousands of “sale agents”, that are all over the world, selling their products- baby products, books, CD’s, DVD’s, MP3’s and more.

Sometimes it feels as though there’s a sea of books in Chinese Medicine.
So many interesting books, how can one choose what to buy?
I will try in this post to write the must have books I feel are essential for practitioners and/or students in Chinese Medicine. This list also contains some books that are still on my wish-list, due to lack of funds they are still on the list and not on my book shelf…
This is of course just what I think, there are many wonderful books out there that can help you grow in your career.
The I Ching- Richard Wilhelm
I just started reading it, but this book talks about a field in it’s own right.
Not to mention one of the most interesting books I have ever read.
Essentially, this is the book that talks about the change between Yin and Yang. And this is one of the more important ideas in Chinese philosophy. Understanding it will give us a better grasp on Chinese Medicine.
