Free Blogging Platform for Lawyers in the Inland Empire.

Most attorneys blog for one or two reasons:
1) To position themselves as an expert on a given practice area. 
2) To attract new business.
But there's a fundamental problem with the method in which most attorneys execute their blogging efforts... nobody's listening. You're wasting your time yelling into a bullhorn in a stadium filled with empty seats. At least that's how it feels.

Let me ask you a question, do you follow your dentist's blog? Why not? Your dentist has paid good money to a marketing company to fill his/her website with valuable information about root canals and Gingivitis, isn't that something you'd like to regularly read about? Unfortunately, to a consumer what a lawyer does every day is like getting a root canal, (hopefully it's not like that for you).

Consumers looking for an attorney are similar, they'll often find your blog in a Google search that leads to your website. A HubSpot study of 7,000 B2B and B2C businesses found that:

• "B2B companies that blog only 1-2 times per month generate 70% more leads than companies that don’t blog at all."
• "Companies with 51-100 pages of content generate 48% more traffic than companies with 1-50 pages"

They generally don't want to learn about the intricacies and legal implications of penal and civil codes unless they're researching a very specific matter. InlandEmpireLawyers.com is highly localized and targets users at the moment they're at the "top of the funnel" and looking for a lawyer online... right when you want your content to be relevant.

Matthew Toren from Business.com says: "...your blog [and guest blog] is where you put your highest quality content, and you use social media, emails, and other means to share that content with your audience. In that manner, blogging is still one of the most effective tools out there for content marketing, and they should be a part of nearly every inbound marketing strategy."
