I recently contracted with two lawyer bloggers who want to spruce up their existing blogs, integrate them into their law firm web sites, and develop marketing strategies to promote themselves as experts in their respective niches.
This is what I love to do. I’ve held a variety of jobs in my life, and I’ve finally found something that works. Both projects will be engaging and challenging for me and beneficial and potentially lucrative for the clients. Once these new blogs are up and running, I’ll do a “before and after” post and highlight some of the changes. My client list is available via e-mail to prospective clients, but in the near future, I may create a public client page.
I’ve been in business officially for a few months, but having a high-ranked political blog helped me land my first clients (one before I was officially in business). Being busy is an entrepreneur’s dream, and for the past couple of months I’ve even had to turn down several invitations (including one yesterday) to appear on MSNBC to talk about the latest political story.
The cable network used to prominently feature “blog reporters” for 90-second blogosphere news round-ups, and I was one of those reporters. These days, one of the producers (and the occasional blogger) does the segment, and bloggers are featured as guests in longer segments. Preparing for the show usually takes half a day, sometimes the whole day. Since going full time with The Language Artist, I’ve literally had no time to spare. I will try to make time, but only if I get to plug my business on the air.
Right now, it’s time to work. Until then, I recommend a post about good web site design by Jacob over at Blogging Pro.
