LinkedIn Comments: Are They Effective?

If you really want to build traction on LinkedIn, commenting may be the way to go - and it's much easier than trying to come up with your own original ideas for LinkedIn posts, as I discussed in my video, Get Value out of LinkedIn Without Posting Original Content. But what kinds of comments are the most effective? Find out in this month's featured video: Commenting Effectively on LinkedIn (you can skip the video and read the article at this link, or view the video below).

Recent Columns

Budgeting for Law Firms

The current issue of the American Bar Association's Law Practice Division's Law Practice magazine is the Finance issue. My column in this issue is about budgeting for law firms. I talk about why budgeting is important, what the key elements of a law firm budget are, how to develop your law firm budget, and how to review, analyze and adjust your budget.

Preparing for Partnership

In case you missed it, my last column, in the Big Ideas issue, talked about preparing for partnership. This column gives my thoughts on what lawyers who want to be partners should be doing - and thinking about.

If you can't access any of the above content, remember that once you become an ABA member, you can become a member of the Law Practice Division (where this content is published) for free.

How to Do More in Less Time book cover image

Second Edition with new tips

The Second Edition of How to Do More in Less Time: The Complete Guide to Increasing Your Productivity and Improving Your Bottom Line, which I co-authored with Daniel J. Siegel, is now available from the American Bar Association. When we started writing the new edition, we thought it would be an easy task, but we found that even though the concepts in the book are evergreen, there was a lot of updating that we needed to do to be in line with the way lawyers practice today. And we added material on videoconferencing, working from home and more.

If you pick up a copy, I'd love to hear what you think about it.

Make LinkedIn Work for You

My friend and colleague, Dennis Kennedy and I are proud to announce that our book, Make LinkedIn Work for You, A Practical Handbook for Lawyers and Other Legal Professionals is now available. The book is an adaptation of all of our previous work on LinkedIn, from webinars and presentations to articles and books. This book is different from what we've done before in that we published direct to Kindle first, and the book contains no screenshots.

You can get the book on Amazon.com in both paperback and Kindle versions.
