The above title does it literally…It uses five words to convey one simple message: you have something to say (or sell) that the audience needs to read (or buy). Fueling the first five words of anything you write or say with something powerful and attention-grabbing is critical to getting your audience to continue consuming what you have to offer (or getting potential clients to commit to hiring you).
Why the first five words?
Because these days, most online activity is done on smartphones, which have small screens. This means there just isn’t much room on one page, and readers are only going to see the first four or five words of any ad, article, blog post, etc.
Richard Jacobs explains the details, as well as why it’s helpful—even necessary—to envision your ad (or article, blog post, video, etc.) as a funnel
My name is Richard Jacobs, and I’ve discovered quite a bit about the plight of solo practitioners and small, 2-5 attorney firms like yours these past 12 years.
I’ve come to understand the unique challenges in marketing ethically and effectively that attorneys face because I have:
Helped over 180 attorneys author their own practice area book and become the ‘implied expert’ in their practice area
Helped hundreds of attorneys successfully navigate Google’s search algorithm changes, growing their websites from 2 potential clients calling a month to 4+ calls per DAY for some clients.
Interviewed and promoted over 507 attorneys nationwide, in practice areas such as:
DUI / DWI
Family Law
Criminal Defense
Bankruptcy
Auto Accidents
Social Security Disability
Slip & Falls (Premises Liability)
Real Estate
Estate Planning / Probate
Wage and Hour Claims
Expungements / Post Conviction Relief
Before you decide to invest in your marketing, it makes sense to first request your complimentary, custom, no obligation video website review.
