TikTok For Lawyers

Today’s episode is all about TikTok, one of those social media platforms that have become ever-elusive and popular. A lot of us have been enjoying it, especially since quarantine. However, many lawyers have been asking the question of whether TikTok is the right platform for them. It might seem inappropriate for many of us, who consider ourselves a little bit older, a little bit wiser, maybe even a little bit conservative regarding how we present ourselves to the world. However, since TikTok is one of the fastest-growing social media platforms out there, I think we would be remiss if we didn't consider whether or not it can benefit us from a marketing perspective in our law firms. So I want to give you today four things to think about as to why it might be something that you want to get into. Tune in and find out more!   In this episode, we discuss:   Why you might consider getting into TikTok.   The accelerated pace of change created by the pandemic and the proliferation of video. Consumer trends towards consuming shorter snippets of content. How quick and easy TikTok is to share a lot of information in small bites. The much better ROI that can be achieved on TikTok. How TikTok is a perfect place to reach millennials if they are your target market. That TikTok makes it easy to drive traffic to your website to learn more about you. Designing your marketing to stand out in a way that works for you.   Allison's Bio: Allison C.

Right. So they're actually going to market something. They're not just marketing you, the human, you, the lawyer, but they're going to market what you have already started to create. So with places like TikTok, you are at an advantage in that you can start where a lot of law firms are probably too afraid to go at this point.
