Managing Your Online Presence – Upcoming Webinar

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

I wanted to point you to a webinar on Thursday (September 16) from the ABA Law Practice Management Section and the ABA Center for Continuing Legal Education called “Managing Your Online Presence.”

The webinar features as speakers two of the best subject matter experts you can find, Jim Calloway and Kevin O’Keefe. I’ll be part of the webinar as moderator of the session. Jim and Kevin have told me that they expect me to be an “active moderator” and to throw in my insights on the topics, even though my plan is mainly to try to make sure the audience gets the best of Jim’s and Kevin’s impressive experience and expertise. That said, you’ll probably get to hear some of my tips and commentary on this topic.

I can assure you that you can expect to learn a lot from this presentation.

Here’s the program description:

More and more clients “meet” you online before even deciding to meet you face-to-face. In this fast-paced session, you’ll learn the best ways to build and grow a sustainable online presence, enabling more potential clients to find you and existing clients to access more helpful information provided by you. Topics covered will include: 1. Choosing (and using) a blog or Web site as your online “home base;” 2. Utilizing social media sites like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter to connect with clients and build your professional footprint; 3. Magnifying your online presence by distributing your existing content seamlessly to multiple places online and 4. Monitoring and managing your online reputation. Your existing clients will be more informed, and your prospective clients will be more impressed.

The webinar will take place on Thursday, September 16 at 1:00 PM-2:30 PM Eastern (12:00 PM-1:30 PM Central; 11:00 AM-12:30 PM Mountain; 10:00 AM-11:30 AM Pacific).

Registration and other details may be found here.

There’s a nice discount for ABA Law Practice Management Section members. Even better, there’s a nice discount for ABA members who join the LPM Section in connection with this webinar – definitely a win-win proposition. And there’s a great discount for law students.

Hope to “see” you at the webinar. As moderator, if you want to send me a question ahead of time, please do so.

Creating Your Online Presence – Webinar on Thursday

Monday, August 16th, 2010

I wanted to point you to what should be a great webinar on Thursday (August 19) from the ABA Law Practice Management Section and the ABA Center for Continuing Legal Education called “Creating Your Online Presence.”

The webinar features as speakers the noted experts Tom Mighell and Dave Bilinsky. I’ll be part of the webinar as moderator of the session. I’ve seen the slides already and can tell you that you can expect to learn a lot from this presentation.

Here’s the program description:

In this digital era, clients and prospects expect lawyers to be savvy about their firm’s Web presence. Learn from our experts how to create an effective online presence that works for your practice, your clients and your target audience. Determine which options are wise, based upon your areas of practice, geographical location and your “online personality.” Adding your firm to online directories/legal directories such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Avvo, RocketLawyer and Justia will be discussed. Our speakers will also discuss how to setup a blog and whether this is a helpful service to your clients or prospective clients. The pros and cons of using free or lawyer-specific blogging platforms will be part of this discussion. You will walk away from this session with the ability to take the social media plunge, having seen practical examples of how to setup your own Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn accounts. Take the plunge!

The webinar will take place on Thursday, August 19 at 1:00 PM-2:30 PM Eastern (12:00 PM-1:30 PM Central; 11:00 AM-12:30 PM Mountain; 10:00 AM-11:30 AM Pacific).
