I hear it all the time.

No one has ever hired be from reading a blog post.

I wrote a column for Roads and Bridges Magazine for 25 years. I’m not sure anyone ever said:

Read your column on… and I want to hire you.

Yesterday, Shawn Tuma and I gave a presentation on Blogging and Social Media to the Collin County Bar Association.

I started coaching Shawn over five years ago, after he met me first on Twitter. I invite you to fast forward in Prezi to his part of the presentation.

Why? Because Shawn actually has had new clients find him because of his blogging and social media. Shawn has actually written for some top publications after the editors found his blog through social media.

While, I don’t think blogging is for everyone or every type of law practice, Shawn is living proof that at least for the Computer Fraud Act and Data Privacy, blogging and social media can be amazing tools.

You may know Shawn did a three part series on how to blog and use social media in an hour. Here is the Link to Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.
