Showing prospects that you are knowledgeable of the law is one of the most effective marketing and business development tactics a lawyer has at their disposal. There are multiple platforms attorneys can use to showcase their thought leadership, one of which is bylined articles.
Bylined articles are writing opportunities that established publications give to outside contributors. Many types of publications offer bylined article opportunities, from newspapers and general business magazines to niche trade publications. The benefits of bylined articles are many, including:
- An opportunity to showcase your thought leadership
- A chance to build credibility for yourself before a specific audience
- Greater control of the content and context of your words than a media interview
- Greater depth and substance than media interview quotes
- Greater credibility than owned content, such as a blog
