Dave Kaminski talks about 3 Keys To Success With Web Video. He’s right on target with his mindset and I totally agree with him that worrying about what equipment to use is nowhere near as important as what to talk about and implement.
A great place to learn about creating and improving video for lawyers.

Can You Get CLE Credits to Learn About Video Marketing?
What’s more important to you? Accumulating CLE credits or learning how to improve your bottom line and convert online viewers into callers?
Don’t get me wrong. I like listening to boring CLE lectures as much as the next attorney. I’m required to rack up a certain number of CLE credits each year, just like you. I like having the same speakers talk about the same trial tactics seminars I’ve been listening to for more than 21 years. Don’t get me wrong…I’ve learned a lot from these attorneys. I’ve also gone to ‘marketing’ seminars put on by the bar associations with these same personal injury and medical malpractice lawyers. I honestly can say that I have not learned much there. I wish someone had instead directed me to Dan Kennedy and Bill Glazer (direct response marketers that teach other people how improve their bottom line).
Considering a dSLR to shoot your attorney video?
Dave Kaminski of Web Video University does an excellent job of reviewing the Canon t2i DLSR camera. Here’s my question:
You’re an attorney who wants to create video. You want a camera that will last for years. You want the latest technology. You don’t want to spend a fortune. The choices of video cameras are overwhelming. SD or HD? Hard disc or tape-based? Pocket Flip camera or Kodak Zi8? $500 camcorder or a prosumer model costing $1,500?
Video Marketing for Lawyers-The ABC’s
PRODUCTION
This is it. The video shoot. A team of people come in and take over your office. They’re setting up lighting, setting up their video camera, plugging in electrical devices, setting up sound equipment and microphones. If they’re really good, it will take them about 20-30 minutes to set up their equipment. It takes me 10-15 minutes when I do my video shoots.
Then there is the calibration of lighting and sound checks to make sure everything works properly. You must do a white balance calibration in order for the camera to know what is really white. The camera then adjusts all other colors accordingly. If you do not set your white balance, I guarantee your video will come out dark and the results will be poor.
Does Video Blogging For Attorneys Work? “No,” Says Attorney Gerry Oginski
“What?!”
“What do you mean it doesn’t work? Isn’t that what you’ve been preaching about for the longest time?”
Yes I have. But I have a secret. A secret I do not want to share with my competitors. You see, the reality is…
YouLaw: Drunk? Call Attorney Rob McKinney When You Get Pulled Over
In today’s YouLaw, we look at Tennessee trial lawyer Rob McKinney who gives viewers an overview of what they need to ask when looking for the best DUI attorney. The video is 3:25 long, and at times appears drawn out. However, Attorney McKinney offers great content for viewer trying to figure out who they should hire. Experience is the obvious first answer. He talks about how important it is for the attorney to have a mastery in the science of a field sobriety test, the breath test, and the blood alcohol test.
You Think You Have What It Takes To Create Video?
Do you?
You know how to press “Record” on your flip camera, right? You know not to shoot in low-level light, right? You know not to use your on-board microphone, right? You know how to set your white balance, even on your little handy video camera like your Kodak Zi8, right?
Excellent. Then why aren’t you creating video to market your law practice? If you are, why aren’t those viewers calling your office? What are they waiting for, a personal invitation? Are your viewers really expecting you to reach through the computer screen and physically pull them into your office? Get real.
Which Video Was Picked Up By NY Times Blog?
I opened up my e-mail today and noticed an interesting headline in my Google alerts. The headline read “When Black Ice Strikes, Who’s to Blame?”
I was even more curious because it had my name and website listed under the headline. I knew that I didn’t write a blog post with that name or a video with that title. I was intrigued.
The website URL was the New York Times online blog. I clicked on the link which took me to the New York Times online site. The blog post was all about black ice and how dangerous it is in New York City. Further into the article the writer mentioned a video I made titled “Slip and fall on snow and ice-who is at fault?” and some of the comments I made in my video.
HOW TO DOMINATE THE ONLINE VIDEO WORLD
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.
Do These Videos Sound Familiar?
The title is the same for each.
The background is the same for each and
They’re even looking at the same place off-camera.
YouTube shows they each have less than 20 views even though they were uploaded over seven months ago.
But there’s a bigger problem here.
