You know that you need a blog. Blogs form the core of any inbound marketing plan. An attorney blog can help you develop relationships with your peers, bring in new clients, and establish you as an expert in your area of law.
If you have been thinking of setting up your own attorney blog but are intimidated by technology, you now have no excuse. I will set up and install your attorney blog at no cost to you. And, since the most well-written blog in the world is useless if no one knows that it is out there, I will also include a set of on-page search engine optimization plugins to help your blog get found and indexed by the search engines.
The Total Attorney Blog Setup Package Includes:
Free WordPress Blog Setup on Your Own Domain
Your blog will run on the popular and customizable WordPress platform. Once the blog is set up, it’s yours. You will own the domain, the blog, and all content that you add, with no strings attached and without paying me a dime.
All in One SEO
I will install All in One SEO plugin. This popular plugin helps to make your blog more visible on the Internet by avoiding the typical duplicate content found on many WordPress blogs. It is easy to use for beginners and works right out of the box.
Google XML Sitemaps Plugin
Sitemaps help search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo and Ask.com to better index your blog. With a sitemap, it’s much easier for the crawlers to see the complete structure of your site and retrieve it more efficiently. The Google Sitemaps plugin generates a behind-the-scenes XML sitemap to help your attorney blog get indexed thoroughly and quickly in Google. The plugin supports all kinds of WordPress generated pages as well as custom URLs. It also notifies all major search engines every time you create a post about the new content.
Akismet
Akismet is a spam filtering service that identifies and blocks comment and trackback spam on blogs. It works by combining information about spam captured on all participating blogs, and then using those spam rules to block future spam. This will keep your blog from being overrun by spammy, auto-generated comments.
After the Deadline
Most of us who have been blogging for a while know the embarrassment of sending out a not-quite-ready post. The After the Deadline plugin will proofread your post for grammar and spelling errors. It uses artificial intelligence and natural language processing technology to find your writing errors and offer smart suggestions.
What’s the Catch?
There is no catch. The Attorney Blog Setup Program is sponsored by HostGator (HostGator will pay me for the service). All you need to do is host the site with HostGator using the coupon code attorneyblog25. Their hosting plans start as low as $4.95 per month, but you will receive 25 percent off of their already low price. Your new hosting account will also come with $100.00 of Google Adwords credit that can be used to drive some initial traffic to your new blog.
How to Get Started
- Choose the domain name (URL) for your website (I use the free tool at www.domize.com to quickly check domain name availability).
- Sign-up for a hosting plan with HostGator.com. While signing up, use the coupon code attorneyblog25 so that you receive the 25% discount and so that I can track your order.
- Once you complete the sign-up for your hosting plan, send me an e-mail letting me know which domain name you hosted. You can reach me at jack.falconberg[at]gmail.com.
