In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) walks through seven tips for writing conference recaps and takeaways that are so good, your readers feel compelled to share them with their colleagues.

Those tips are:

1. Use a “me and/or them” mindset to filter what matters to you versus your target audience;

2. Apply the “O-K-So?” framework to your descriptions of the presentations you attended and are reporting on;

3. Brevity over bulk;

4. Share valuable materials you received at the conference, such as presentations and whitepapers;

5. Capture the conference "vibes;"

6. Write a compelling thematic headline; and

7. Be timely, but don't rush the final product.

Like deliveries from the milkman, people wearing suits and dresses whenever they left their homes, and smoking/non-smoking sections in restaurants, attorneys writing their own thought leadership articles is a relic from yesteryear—and should follow the same fate as those once-upon-a-time staples of everyday life.

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) walks through four reasons why attorneys should not write their own thought leadership articles—besides the issue of them having to invest non-billable time to do so:

1. Attorneys know how to write for the practice of law, not for marketing and selling the practice of law.

2. Attorneys approach thought leadership from a legal perspective, not a marketing perspective.

3. The overwhelming majority of attorneys don't understand best practices for thought leadership.

4. Most attorneys will never get better at writing thought leadership because they do it so rarely and as an add-on to their core legal practice.

Most professionals using AI for content creation are making the same mistake: they're following the "box instructions" and getting bland, forgettable results that scream "AI-generated."

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) breaks down the perfect analogy for AI-assisted thought leadership: boxed brownie mix. Just like boxed brownies, your AI-assisted content can be basic and forgettable, or it can be impressive and memorable.

It all depends on how much of yourself you add to the mix and whether you can "spice up" AI-generated content with your unique perspective and voice.

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) discusses how to inject storytelling into legal thought leadership.

Everyone says you need "storytelling" in your legal marketing. But how are you supposed to tell a story when you're writing about court decisions or legal or industry trends?

If you try to force a story into a standard piece of legal thought leadership, it usually fails.

In this episode, Wayne breaks down the specific article type that solves this problem: The "Best Practices" article. This approach allows you to shift the focus from legal updates to real-world client success stories without sounding like a promotional sales brochure.

Wayne discusses how to frame your strategies as objective best practices, how to put the reader in your client's shoes, and how to overcome the common fears attorneys have about sharing their "special sauce."

By using the Best Practices framework, you demonstrate your expertise and authority while making your content as refreshing and consumable as a cool lemonade on a hot day.

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains why curating content in today's era of too much digital content can position you as an authority—and a hero—to your clients, prospects, and other target audiences.

In addition, according to Wayne, curating content also has these benefits:

1. Curating content forces you to stay abreast of what's going on in the worlds of your clients, prospects, and target audiences. It also allows you to issue spot for them.

2. It takes less time to curate content than it does to create content.

3. Curated content gives you a non-salesy way to get your content in front of your audience.

4. Curating content can provide inspiration for your future content.
