duct tape marketing — Legal Practice Pro

Much has been said about Twitter, the microblogging application that’s seemingly everywhere you turn these days. However, not many lawyers know how to use it – and why they should. In fact, I’ve seen under a dozen consumer bankruptcy lawyers on Twitter, and even fewer consumer protection lawyers.

It’s a shame, because Twitter has been very very good to me (hat tip to old-school SNL for that).

John Jantsch and Chris Brogan recently did a webinar titled, “Using Twitter For Business.” It’s very informative, and can help you get going pretty quickly. Though the webinar is not specifically geared to lawyers, it’s instructive to learn how to use Twitter and the possibilities it presents for businesses of all kinds.

I previously posted about Twitter, a terrific little micro-blogging platform that allows people to interact in real time with others. It’s addictive (and not in a Facebook time-suck sort of way) and useful for business development, marketing and general professional purposes.

Over at DuctTape Marketing, John Jantsch has created his Guide to Using Twitter. It’s a good read for those who have been thinking about Twitter and may not have already made the leap.Another terrific piece on Twitter was written by Grant Griffiths, and it’s called, “Twitter – the Rules of Engagement”.

What’s nice about John Jantsch’s guide is he addresses a very common statement, ‘it’s just another time-waster. How is it going to get me business?”

Twitter is a neat little tool. Now John can teach you how to use it.
