Practice Management

There is a new blog on the block concerning consumer bankruptcy issues in Northeast Texas -- my old stompin' grounds.

Welcome J. Brian Allen and his new blow (or blawg) Northeast Texas Bankruptcy Lawyer.  You can view it by CLICKING HERE.

As you can tell, Brian has a good deal of experience in both this legal and geographic area.  And, his blog already has a good deal of vital and interesting content.  That is the way to go.  Not only set up a blog, but to use it.

One interesting thing, Brian Allen has included a page that lists politicians, famous people and celebrities that have filed bankruptcy.  This is vitally important for those in need of bankruptcy protection to know that they are not alone.

As you know, the Third Wave is all about using cheap tech to effectively practice law and to market your practice.  In this day and age you cannot avoid the Web.  If you do ignore the Internet you do it at your own peril.  A blog not only offers you an opportunity to reach people directly, but it can be the hub of all of your network and relationship marketing activities.

Also, I understand that you cannot do it all yourself.  In this you need to seek collaboration.  You need to sometimes bring in people who know what they are doing.  When it comes to setting these things up and good general design there is really no better people to meet for help than Grant and Clay Griffiths over at G2WebMedia.  Grant Griffiths is one of the pioneers of blog based marketing.  His Kansas Family Law Blog drew 100,000 plus views it first year out of the gate.  He understands what it takes to make a practice blog an effective marketing tool.
