The first piece of advice you will find online about making money for your firm blogging, vlogging, etc to infinity is “Find Your Law firm niche.”

If you were anything like me, you thought, “I don’t have a law firm niche! I am a person. I have so many interests. How could I ever possibility narrow it down.”

Good news is: Once you find your particular style and brand, you don’t have to “limit yourself”. If an established marketing blogger wants to share an experience, then the experience will be shared.  Just with the flare or twist expected by readers.

Bad news is: you have to find your particular style and brand, aka “law firm niche”.

So, what is a law firm niche?

A law firm niche is your “thing”…your passion…your interest…as delivered in the persona that you develop toward the targeted audience you want to reach.

Step One: Decide Your Passion
If you want to run a successful blog/vlog/facebook/pinterest/etc, you need to be passionate about the topic.  You need to decide what topic you could easily talk about all day every day and still have more to say.  You need to be interested and excited about the topic!

I suggest writing down your expertise.  Then, decide if you are able or willing to write hundreds of words on the topic.  This may limit what you are willing to blog about.

Step Two: Determine Your Audience
Although anyone can access your blog, it is important to target your intended audience.  Who do you want reading your blog? Who do you want to connect with? What is your overall goal? Decide which demographics you want to reach and then determine if your topic will interest them.  Be honest about who you want to reach.

Step Three: Do Your Homework
Once you have determined your audience, you can start your blog.  It is recommended that you determine a posting schedule (*cough* something I clearly did not do *cough*) and create 3-5 blog posts to get started with before you even create your blog.  This will ensure that you hit the ground running.  You will get more subscribers and readers if you have regularly posted content.

Step Four: Review Your Goals, Content, Persona, and Audience
Before launching your blog or endeavor, take a step back and make sure your message and audience is targeted to reflect your persona.  Make adjustments as necessary.

That’s it.  You have found your law firm niche AND you have started your journey on the road to a successful law blog that helps your successful practice.

For our blog and online magazine while we strive to update content regularly, we do not guarantee specific update frequencies. We reserve the right to modify, amend, or remove content from both present and past articles and blogs at any time. The content is intended to offer diverse perspectives and encourage thoughtful discussion but does not imply any endorsement or certification by our organization. Our directory listings are based on independent research and/or nominations and do not constitute an endorsement, verification, authoritative, final and/or definitive ranking, or guarantee of an attorney’s or law firm’s expertise, credentials, or quality of service. Being listed in this directory is optional, nominations must be accepted by the attorney or law firm and does not reflect an attorney’s or law firm’s legal ability, effectiveness, or the probability of a successful case outcome. Users are advised to conduct their own independent research when selecting an attorney or law firm and should not rely exclusively on this directory. We do not verify licensing status, disciplinary history, or the accuracy of claims of listed attorneys or firms. Clients are strongly encouraged to consult their state bar association or other relevant regulatory authorities for official information regarding an attorney’s qualifications and professional standing. This directory is intended as a supplementary resource and should not be the sole factor in choosing legal representation. We do not endorse, guarantee, or make any assurances regarding the work, performance, or effectiveness of any listed attorney or law firm. Any use of this directory is at the user’s sole discretion and risk. Featured Attorneys/Firms displayed on our homepage have secured placement through paid inclusion. The details presented were supplied directly by the attorneys or their teams. We do not verify this information independently and make no guarantees about its accuracy or completeness. Attorneys and Law Firms may pay for membership and directory listing; however, we also offer no-cost memberships that include a basic directory listing. Regardless of membership type, all nominations must be accepted before inclusion in our yearly directory. Nominations cannot be purchased, and payments do not influence the selection process. The criteria for selection vary by attorney and law firm and may take into account factors such as, but not limited to: years in practice, legal experience, online reviews, peer recognition, awards, professional memberships, speaking engagements, and published work. We also consider geographic location and population density to ensure fair representation. Other factors not listed above may be considered, and different weights may be assigned to these factors on a case-by-case basis. Our goal is to assist potential clients in beginning their search for legal representation by offering a resource of attorneys and firms, but it should not be used as the sole basis for selecting an attorney. Potential clients must perform their own due diligence before hiring an attorney or firm. Any designation of top, top 10, our pick, our choice, raising the bar, or the like does not imply a ranking, guarantee, endorsement, or certification of quality, nor does it suggest that these are the only qualified attorneys available for selection. Certain states or regions may be further divided into cities or geographic areas based on size and population density for greater relevance to potential clients. Because attorneys and law firms must accept nominations before being listed, our directory is not exhaustive and does not represent all attorneys or firms, nor does it imply that listed attorneys or firms are more qualified than those not listed. Potential clients should always conduct independent research and verify credentials through state bar associations and other legal regulatory bodies before making a hiring decision. Attorneys and law firms who accept nominations may choose a free membership that provides a basic directory listing or a paid membership that includes additional benefits such as plaques, online badges, expanded profiles, and promotional opportunities. Paid membership does not impact the selection process or influence rankings in any way. If you wish to accept your nomination but prefer to be listed only without payment, please email us at [email protected]. If an attorney or law firm believes they should not be included in our list, we ask that they notify us promptly to ensure that we maintain the highest standards of accuracy and representation. Because law practices evolve, new information, disciplinary actions, or other circumstances may impact an attorney’s listing. If you believe there is an error, omission, or update needed for your listing, or if you have concerns about another listing, please contact us at [email protected]. Attorney and Practice and its affiliated entities are not a referral service and do not provide legal advice or representation. This directory is intended to serve as an informational resource only to help consumers begin their search for legal services. The potential client is not limited to attorneys listed in our directory and must make their own independent decision based on research and comfort level. A directory simply lists professionals and does not provide recommendations, guarantees, or warranties regarding the quality of legal services received. This website may be affiliated with, owned by, or collaborate with other similar directories, companies, or organizations.
