A blog should be a fixture of your attorney advertising efforts. A legal blog takes a lot of focus and energy to implement. I think one of the hardest things is consistently coming up with new ideas for posts. Here is a list of 5 ideas for legal blog posts.

1. Make a List – People surfing the web love a good list. They are short and easy to digest.

2. Tell Your Readers About Good Links – It isn’t always that easy to find great links and resources on the web. Your readers will appreciate you telling them about links and resources you find interesting and helpful.

3. Write About A Story – There is nothing quite as interesting as a great story. Writing about an experience you had with a client or a personal life experience is great fodder for a blog post. It gives your blog an original voice and shows your human side.

4. Offer Your Legal Expertise – Of course you want to be careful not to give legal advice. However, you will find that many people have questions or want answers about legal topics. Offer up general legal expertise to establish yourself as a leader in your field.

5. Stay Current With Fellow Legal Bloggers – Take the time to subscribe and read the posts of fellow bloggers. They will provide insights and ideas you can piggy back off of for your own legal blog posts.

To write a good blog, and to do so consistently, is a challenging proposition. As a lawyer, you are busy with many things and your time is money. However, writing 2-3 posts a week will help you lawyer marketing tremendously. You will have a greater chance of being found by search engines and you will also help establish your online credibility.
