    Practice Pointer: Four reasons—besides billable hours—attorneys shouldn't write their own thought leadership

    Like deliveries from the milkman, people wearing suits and dresses whenever they left their homes, and smoking/non-smoking sections in restaurants, attorneys writing their own thought leadership articles is a relic from yesteryear—and should follow the same fate as those once-upon-a-time staples of everyday life. In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) walks through four reasons why attorneys should not write their own thought leadership articles—besides the issue of them having to invest non-billable time to do so: 1. Attorneys know how to write for the practice of law, not for marketing and selling the practice of law. 2. Attorneys approach thought leadership from a legal perspective, not a marketing perspective. 3. The overwhelming majority of attorneys don't understand best practices for thought leadership. 4. Most attorneys will never get better at writing thought leadership because they do it so rarely and as an add-on to their core legal practice.   === Learn more about Wayne Pollock at https://www.linkedin.com/in/waynepollock Learn more about the Law Firm Editorial Service at https://www.lawfirmeditorialservice.com Learn more about Copo Strategies at https://www.copostrategies.com === Do you want to elevate your thought leadership, distinguish yourself from your competitors, and never again be your target clients’ second choice?

    Practice Pointer: Your AI-written thought leadership tastes like boxed brownies. Here's how to fix it.

    Most professionals using AI for content creation are making the same mistake: they're following the "box instructions" and getting bland, forgettable results that scream "AI-generated." In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) breaks down the perfect analogy for AI-assisted thought leadership: boxed brownie mix. Just like boxed brownies, your AI-assisted content can be basic and forgettable, or it can be impressive and memorable. It all depends on how much of yourself you add to the mix and whether you can "spice up" AI-generated content with your unique perspective and voice. ==== + Learn more about Wayne Pollock, the host of Legally Contented and the founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service: https://www.linkedin.com/in/waynepollock + Learn more about the Law Firm Editorial Service: http://www.lawfirmeditorialservice.com + Do you have any idea how much money your firm is losing when its lawyers write thought-leadership marketing and business development content themselves?

    Practice Pointer: This is the BEST way to inject storytelling into your legal thought leadership

    In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) discusses how to inject storytelling into legal thought leadership. Everyone says you need "storytelling" in your legal marketing. But how are you supposed to tell a story when you're writing about court decisions or legal or industry trends? If you try to force a story into a standard piece of legal thought leadership, it usually fails. In this episode, Wayne breaks down the specific article type that solves this problem: The "Best Practices" article. This approach allows you to shift the focus from legal updates to real-world client success stories without sounding like a promotional sales brochure. Wayne discusses how to frame your strategies as objective best practices, how to put the reader in your client's shoes, and how to overcome the common fears attorneys have about sharing their "special sauce." By using the Best Practices framework, you demonstrate your expertise and authority while making your content as refreshing and consumable as a cool lemonade on a hot day. #LegalMarketing #ThoughtLeadership #ContentMarketing #LegalWriting #Storytelling #LawFirmMarketing ==== + Learn more about Wayne Pollock, the host of Legally Contented and the founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service: https://www.linkedin.com/in/waynepollock + Learn more about the Law Firm Editorial Service: http://www.lawfirmeditorialservice.com + Do you have any idea how much money your firm is losing when its lawyers write thought-leadership marketing and business development content themselves?

    Practice Pointer: Become an authority—and a hero—when you create this kind of content

    In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains why curating content in today's era of too much digital content can position you as an authority—and a hero—to your clients, prospects, and other target audiences. In addition, according to Wayne, curating content also has these benefits: 1. Curating content forces you to stay abreast of what's going on in the worlds of your clients, prospects, and target audiences. It also allows you to issue spot for them. 2. It takes less time to curate content than it does to create content. 3. Curated content gives you a non-salesy way to get your content in front of your audience. 4. Curating content can provide inspiration for your future content. ==== + Learn more about Wayne Pollock, the host of Legally Contented and the founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service: https://www.linkedin.com/in/waynepollock + Learn more about the Law Firm Editorial Service: http://www.lawfirmeditorialservice.com + Do you have any idea how much money your firm is losing when its lawyers write thought-leadership marketing and business development content themselves?
