Social media is one of the best ways to establish credibility, connect with potential clients and partners, and develop your business. Especially since the pandemic, the digital world has evolved and become a necessary component of a thriving business. But social media remains a mystery to many lawyers.
Guy Alvarez is here to demystify social media for lawyers and share the best practices to grow online — even if you’re inexperienced. In order for social media to work for you, Guy says you need to be client-centric. Instead of posting about your big win or the article you were just featured in, lead with valuable information that your clients would want to hear. When you create client-centric content, you’ll be able to demonstrate your knowledge and experience, stay top of mind with your network, and strategically grow your network (and your business).
