Legally Contented

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains five things NOT to do when writing a "Year in Review" thought leadership article regarding the past year's developments in the industry you serve. These five things are:

1. Position the article toward a general industry audience
2. Discuss events and developments chronologically
3. Gloss over the details of the events and developments that you're covering
4. Focus entirely on what happened the previous year
5. Write the article in an overly polished professional tone

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains how his approach to posting content on LinkedIn has changed thanks to choosing to be notified every time certain people with large followings post on the platform.

According to Wayne, being notified when these people post:

1. Helps him reverse engineer both successful and unsuccessful posts;

2. Inspires him regarding the substance of his posts;

3. Inspires him regarding the formats of his posts; and

4. Reminds him that not every post, even from LinkedIn "experts,"  is going to be "a banger."

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains why, in order to survive and thrive in today's evolving content world, attorneys and their firms (and all professional services providers and their firms, for that matter), need to be THE DESTINATION for thought leadership in the eyes of their target audiences and not simply A SOURCE of it.

In other words, they need to be the Joe Rogan of their practices.

Wayne walks through seven high-level considerations attorneys and their firms should keep in mind as they build out their content programs in the hopes of becoming THE DESTINATION for thought leadership for their target audiences.

1. Commit to the concept of thought leadership.

2. Commit to the idea of owning a niche or owning an industry.

3. Create thought leadership consistently.

4. Take an omnichannel approach to content creation.

5. Consider producing content across the content spectrum.

6. Create a content team and staff it appropriately.

7. Regularly seek feedback from your audiences.

2. It's how you build a following, which will likely mean more attendees for your presentations.
