Episode 73: The "Keep it Simple" Approach to Marketing

As a busy lawyer, you can’t be everywhere doing everything, especially when it comes to marketing. If you spread yourself too thin, you won’t be visible anywhere. But here’s the good news: Keeping it simple is the best way to engage in effective marketing. In this episode, Jay and Tom discuss why it’s better to narrow the focus of your marketing efforts and how to do it. You’ll learn:

  • Why it’s important to define your ideal-client audience so you can understand where to spend your marketing energy and resources

  • Why you should lean into the type of marketing that you enjoy doing and that you have aptitude for

  • How to make one-and-done decisions about your marketing that eliminate decision fatigue
