What Should I Write About?

You can write about anything. Everytime you write an article to your blog website, you are increasing your visibility on the search engines. Not only do law firm blogs allow you to spread your opinion but they have become an excellent and cost effective marketing tool. A blog is relatively inexpensive compared to traditional marketing venues such as print, television, and pay per click marketing.

The purpose of your blog includes:

1. Blogs with keyword rich content can rank high in Google search results and boost your website's overall ranking.

2. Each blog article fills up Google with relevant keywords that are used in daily searches by people.

3. Each blog post adds another page to your website. Google tends to rank its websites based on the best available resource. More relevant content to the searcher = better resource.

4. A blog speaks credibility. People tend to hire those who they can trust and through a blog you can effectively communicate your voice and purpose.

5. Your blog can act as an authority. Through a well written blog you can become the haven for all that is relevant and resourceful in your field.

6. Blogs are easy to use and save you time. You will eliminate your need to have changes made to your blog by not having to call a web designer everytime you want to add content to your law firm blog.

What Are Some Good Topic Ideas?

In addition to the above, your blog allows you to add as many topic areas as you want. Say for instance you are a criminal defense attorney and want to have a specialty blog on DWI/DUI defense. Some topics you might write blog entries about could include:

- Blood Alcohol Testing
- DWI Penalties
- Driver's License Revocations
- Drunk Driving Lawsuits
- Felony DWI
- Field Sobriety Tests
- Implied Consent Law
- License Plate Impoundment

Do You Provide Training?

Yes we do - with each client we provide 1 hour free consultation over the phone. We will train you how to use Wordpress to edit and manage your website.

Wordpress is the best content management system for websites on the internet today. Due to it's expansive open-source engine, Wordpress has gained popularity on the web. Everyday thousands of freelance web developers are working to improve the Wordpress platform.

Wordpress allows any web designer the ability to integrate Wordpress's content management abilities into any website. The same system allows any small business owner the opportunity to take control of his or her custom Wordpress design. With expanded plugins, Wordpress allows you to be able to add text, add images, add links, track web statistics, and so much more. Uploading files and videos is a breeze with Wordpress. Have a webpage you'd like to add a PDF link to that you have on your computer? Wordpress makes it easy without having to know complicated programming languages. If you can use Microsoft Word (the basics), you can run your own website and take back control!
