Twitter Marketing for Lawyers
Thanks to @moanderlawfirm I read this interesting article in the Wisconsin Law Journal (written by a new Twitterer @janepribek). It’s got a nice description of setting yourself up on Twitter and shares info from Chris Moander about how using Twitter has helped his solo law practice. He’s gained clients and done plenty of networking. I’ve also gained clients from Twitter and have to say Twitter is a fabulous networking tool in my opinion.
I also need to point out though that I don’t agree with Chris’s suggestion in the article that you weed out people who “discuss weeding their gardens”. I like to hear the personal and business stuff. Actually, the only people I unfollow are ones who are TOO business oriented and clearly only there to self-market. Twitter really is a conversation. I want to hear about your kids, terrible traffic and even your garden!! I like a real mix – and I get it on Twitter! Otherwise I’d say stick to regular blogging, then you don’t have to interact if you prefer not to, just spout your own message. The best networking contacts for me have been ones I can establish something in common with (maybe even a love of gardening).
I’d love to hear from any of you? Do you use Twitter for marketing, networking, just personally? Which types of Twitter people do you follow or unfollow?
That’s it for now, tweet you later!! Oh and make sure you follow me @halosecretarial!

This is why twitter is so great! You can use it for whatever purpose you like. I use mine with a near exclusive focus on business, whereas Laurie likes the personal talk mixed in with practical stuff.
And thanks for the link, Laurie.
