Episode 22: Sensible Social Media

Social media is helpful when you use it to complement your strategic referral marketing efforts. Mostly, it's a way to remind potential referral sources that you are a good lawyer, and remind them what kind of law you practice.

In this episode, I talk about the perils of automating your social media posting and the proper ratio of promotional to non-promotional posts. And I talk about which social media services are best for your law practice.

Remember: Getting new clients coming in the door in a regular flow is crucial for your practice. Doing this requires an effective method that will take time to set up and optimize.
