If you missed my attorney video webinar in December, you definitely do not want to miss this one on March 17, 2010 (St. Patricks day) at 12:00 noon (Eastern time).
Legal marketing expert Larry Bodine is hosting this seminar, and I’ll be explaining the importance of why you need to be on video to market yourself in today’s economy.
It’s true. 99% of attorney video truly stinks. It’s boring. It’s unimaginative. It lacks useful information. It’s stuffy. It continues to personify lawyers as inaccessible and unapproachable. Many lawyer videos do nothing but talk about themselves.
Guess what? In case you haven’t noticed, viewers don’t care about you. They only care about themselves. Until lawyers and their video producers recognize this, lawyers will continue to make video that stinks.
Video is the future of all things online. You can’t just create one or two videos. You need five, ten, fifteen and more educational videos to attract new clients to your website for more information.
Your goal is to dominate the online video world.
Most attorneys only want to practice law. For them, marketing is nothing more than an annoyance they have to deal with in order to get more clients so they can do what they enjoy, which is practicing law. Those lawyers are the ideal clients who come to me and say “I want you to create the video for me. I want it all done for me. I don’t want to know about video editing, or compression, or how to color correct, or set my white balance. I just want to show up and start talking, and then you send me an email link where my video is so I can watch the final product.”

How would you feel watching a video in which you see a nice family having a meal together, leaving in a car, and suffering a catastrophic car accident, complete with screams, glass shattering, ambulance lights and siren, heart beat audio in the background, scenes of the emergency room, and even a trip to the lawyer’s office?
