Home / Podcast  / 029: Just Because Every Other Lawyer is Doing It Doesn’t Mean You Should with Robert Rose

Lawyers like to stick with what they think works in their practices–even if they could be doing much better by making small changes. This includes how they approach marketing. But if it’s done right, changing your marketing strategy can completely change how your practice attains–and retains–revenue.

Content marketing is a type of marketing that can lead to referrals and more reliable income streams. When done with consistency and providing rarely given answers, you can become the go-to practice in your field.

In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, author and marketing and communications strategist Robert Rose is Steve’s guest. Robert is a firm believer in the power of content marketing. His philosophy revolves around the idea that marketing doesn’t have to be complicated to be successful. He understands that when something in your strategy isn’t working, it’s time to pivot–and he has experience doing this himself.

This episode is full of nuggets of genius, including why classic marketing techniques still work when you incorporate them with new marketing ideas, why doing what you love doesn’t always create income, and how content marketing can help answer the questions you answer in your business over and over again. Robert is excited to share how marketing can ultimately pay for itself.

  • The simplicity of marketing and why serendipity makes great marketing
