An attorney called me to review a medical malpractice case, which I quickly rejected. He then asked if I would refer any people who had a problem within his specialized expertise in a little-known field of law.
I asked this attorney to write a blog post, about 350-400 words long, so I could post it on one of my blogs. The purpose? So my readers could learn from his expertise and know that he’s a good source of information for this particular problem. Instead of taking me up on my offer to write a guest post, he said “Why don’t we exchange website links…if that’s actually permissible.”
He then asked “Where do you find time to write and blog?”
My thinking was, here was a guy who had useful information to offer an online viewer. A guest post would give him really good exposure on a blog where I have lots of website visitors every day. Unfortunately, he just doesn’t ‘get it’ and doesn’t realize the benefits to both himself and to me by creating a guest post on someone else’s blog.
In fact, he seemed almost annoyed that I would ask him to write something for my blog that would have taken him no more than five minutes to write. He just didn’t ‘get it’. Oh well, his loss. I know another attorney who would love the chance to guest post on one of my blogs. I’ll ask him.
By the way, if you’d like to write a guest post on this blog, just send me an email, Gerry@lawyersvideostudio.com. All relevant topics considered!
