This article, Blogs Continue to Multiply reports that currently, there are 35.5 million blogs, 60-75 times more than were online just three years ago, with 75,000 new ones born daily. In some ways, it seems like information overload – who could read so many blogs – but I still think the trend bodes well for forward thinking solos who’ve jumped on the trends. Penetration of blogs means that more members of the public seeking legal services will seek out blogging lawyers because they understand the value of the resource that they provide. Also, as blogs expand, they do so not just horizontally, i.e., covering more topics, but vertically, more depth of coverage of topics. Thus, we see not just one PI Law blog, but multiple local PI based sites; readers can choose some or all that they want to read. Even with solo practice, there’s another blog born, if not every minute, than almost every month it seems. (see here) My point here is don’t let the number of blogs frighten you from jumpng into the fray.
Hat tip to reader and solo legal research and writing attorney Lisa Solomon for the story.
