This webinar is for lawyers and professionals who want to use social media and blogging to keep themselves entertained and up to date and, incidentally, hope to promote their services, boost their reputation and attract new clients. Without being pilloried, prosecuted or professionally disbarred.
Used wisely, social media and blogging can be fun, boost your standing and career, win friends and influence people. Really. But not if you try too hard and not if your sole purpose is self-promotion. Balancing professionalism and approachability is hard. But it is possible, with a bit of thought, guidance and practice.
Based on his long experience of messing some things up and getting some things right – and watching others do likewise – Colin Yeo will talk you through avoiding pitfalls, developing an online persona you are happy with, finding a niche, sticking within professional rules and enhancing your reputation.

Detailed but not overwhelming. The examples where good and illustrated complex parts well. The quiz at the end was very good.
Well written and exam focused.
I thought the test questions were helpful. The language used was clear. The visuals for more complicated parts of the rules were great.
Very clear language, useful examples, links to relevant further information, legislation, etc.
