Blog Marketing for the Expert Witness
An Introduction to Blogging
Blogging, short for "Web Log," is a dynamic way to self-publish online. It allows experts to share their specialized knowledge and even syndicate their articles. This makes it an ideal platform for showcasing expertise.
Why Blogs Matter for Experts
Think of a blog as an online journal. It provides regular posts on specific topics, making it a perfect fit for experts. With hyperlinks to articles, websites, and other blogs, it creates an interactive medium that encourages audience engagement.
According to the Pew Internet Study, around 11% of internet users?"approximately 50 million people?"regularly read blogs. Technorati, a leading weblog authority, tracks nearly 42 million blogs.
Lawyers are among the active bloggers. A Blogads.com survey revealed that 6.1% of bloggers work in the legal profession. The American Bar Association's Litigation Section found that many of its members read blogs regularly, with almost 20% publishing their own.
Understanding Blogs
To grasp the blogging concept, explore a few examples. The Google Blog is simple, while legal blogs like E-Discovery Law by Preston Gates & Ellis LLP and the ERISA Blog by B. Janell Grenier are more sophisticated. Law Professor Blogs offers a rich network of legal academic blogs.
