Change up your content
Writing content can keep you busy every week off the year. Don’t hesitate to switch up your content every now and then. Throw in a video every so often just to provide a different type of medium. Podcasts are another alternative. Your podcast could be a quick audio interview with some kind of legal professional. Special reports are also a way of differentiating your blog content.
Let the people speak
What better way to give your law firm credibility than by using the words of actual clients? Ask clients to write a short testimonial highlighting their experience with your law firm. Then, collect a series of testimonials and put them together in a blog post. Make sure to link it to all your social media because you want the world to see what real people are saying about your firm.
Write a comprehensive series
So 400-600 words is not enough to cover a particular area you want to address in your niche. That’s okay. You can publish a series of related posts which are ongoing. When you are done, you can also make it into an e-book that can be downloaded for free. Think about what you want to write and make sure it applies to your niche. Then, let the magic begin in a multi-part series.
Answer questions
Go to a place like Yahoo! Answers and find some legal questions to answer. You could even write a blog post which shares your answer and links to your Yahoo! answer. You could also leave a link to your blog within ever question you answer on Yahoo! There are other sites which also have this same type of format such as Quora.
