LexBlog Con Can Provide Legal Companies and Law Firms an Opportunity to Connect With Influencers

Imagine a “LexBlog Con” where leading legal brands from startups to traditional larger players to law firms are offered the opportunity to connect with legal bloggers. After all, legal bloggers are quickly supplanting reporters and traditional media as the influencers of our legal community. From a blogger attendee, today, at BlogHer19 in Brooklyn. Day 1 of @BlogHer was wonderful. So many amazing brands to connect with #blogher19 #blogherpro #blogherlife #blogherstyle #blogherhealth19 #womenslifestyle #lifestyleblogger #lifestyleblog pic.twitter.com/IIcVrg9apz — Mademoiselle Skinner (@guestlistblog) September 18, 2019 There may not be a better way for legal industry companies to connect with the biggest influencers in legal than a conference of legal bloggers, ala LexBlog Con. LexBlog Con could start as simple as BlogHer did years ago and, as we had discussed for this last year, as a larger meetup of legal bloggers for a day of blogger education and networking. But ...

Connecting Lawyers With People, For Good, Since 2003

“Connecting lawyers with people, for good, since 2003,” feels like a much nicer – or least more mature – mantra than “We build blogs for the lawyers.” The latter from when we kicked things off at LexBlog in November, 2003. The Internet is about connecting with people in a real and intimate way. Always has been, always will be. There’s no such thing as differentiating between a “virtual world” and a “face-to-face” world.” One world, different mediums of engagement. Engagement leading to intimate relationships of trust. The last two weeks I heard again about the latent legal market in the United States. First at Clio Con and this week at LMA Annual. Depending on the survey, seventy-five to eighty-five percent of people with a legal issue – and who may be able to afford a lawyer – do not use a lawyer. The big reasons are that they don’t trust lawyers, they don’t know what lawyers do and, even if they did, they don’t know how to find a good lawyer. Shows you that despite lawyers, co...

Half of My Blog Posts Are Below Average, But I Don’t Know Which Half

“Half of my blog posts are below average, but I don’t know which half.” This from author and speaker Seth Godin discussing on Faceboook today his latest book, The Practice: Shipping Creative Work . Godin explains that shipping is the work of saying, “Here, I made this for you.” Lots of time, though, it doesn’t work. But Godin, the publisher of over 7,000 blog posts is not sitting around polishing while waiting for perfect. “I’m doing my best to learn, to pay attention and to get better for next time. Perfect is just a place to hide.” Godin has been blogging at Seths Blog for eighteen years. His blog has made him a household name. He’s not worried about the length of a blog post, its demonstration of intellect, the images on the post, its search engine performance, the distribution of the blog or stats. We don’t ship because we’re creative, we’re creative because we ship, per Godin. Legal bloggers are not creative in their intellect, they’re creative because they ship. They p...
