Social Marketing Tips for Expert Witnesses

Witness.net — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 17:55:56 +0000

With the obvious growth and groundswell behind Social Networking, I thought it may be helpful to the expert witness community to provide a few tips to help you wade through all the options and for you, as expert witnesses, to take advantage of it all.

Obviously you have taken the first step because you are here.

1) Diversify:

LinkedIn, Twitter, blogging and Facebook are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to social networking. Just because you are in one, certainly doesn’t mean you have it covered. You are already a participant in the Expert Witness Network LinkeIn group…why not expand into the world of Twitter and give it a try?

2) Participate:

Lurking has its advantages, but there is nothing like pure participation to get the blood flowing. Participating not only establishes you in your field and builds credibility, but it also builds your network. Comment on discussions…comment on blogs…Tweet and ReTweet…you will be amazed at how quickly your network will grow. Who knows…maybe you will find your next gig or even learn something you didn’t already know. Who am I kidding??? You guys are the “experts”.

3)“Birds Of A Feather…”

Stick together. Network, link-up, connect and follow others with similar interests and experience. Your next connection could be the missing link to another connection that could solidify your future retirement. This may be a stretch, but in this ever shrinking virtual world we live in, it’s not unheard of.

On that note…here are the networks you can connect with me on:

Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/witnessdotnet

LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/rspies

Hopefully this was a helpful start. I would be happy to continue to provide more tips in the future if you find this helpful and worthwhile. Your feedback is always appreciated.

Who Said Experts Shouldn’t Advertise?

Witness.net — Thu, 28 May 2009 01:28:00 +0000

Here is an excerpt from an article written by one of our partners…Rosalie Hamilton of www.expertcommunications.com.

In response to one of our recent emails to Expert News readers, we received an email saying, “I thought experts are not supposed to advertise, even through websites.”
I think you might find our dialogue of interest. I have edited the communication for length and confidentiality.My emailed reply was:

XXX, I don’t know where such an idea could have come from. I’ve only heard it from a couple of defense attorneys who of course don’t want experts making themselves available for plaintiff lawyers as well as for defense (defense – including insurance – attorneys have no trouble finding experts; plaintiff attorneys have more difficulty, thus look for experts’ advertising, as well as in other ways). Doctors and lawyers advertise; churches advertise; and so does every other product and service we use — advertising is a fact of life.

What experts need to be aware of is that their advertising, including their website, and their written articles, spoken presentations, and all other expression and utterances are available for scrutiny and potential criticism, so all of it needs to be professional and even conservative. An example of this caution would be to state on your website your areas of expertise and the services you perform for attorneys and the Court but not to state that you can help one side win or make other promises that bring your objectivity into question.

I hope this is helpful to you.Rosalie
