By Serena Price


For an uninitiated Idaho lawyer, social media can seem like a minefield or a whole new world by itself. However, social networks, both video and instant messaging, can offer an attorney an insight in to the world of the everyday human being and celebrities alike. Whether you already have a presence online or about to make one, there are certain tips you need to consider if you hope to maintain your professional and personal reputations intact.

It all begins by making sure that you use your real name. Though obvious, there are still people who prefer to use monikers as they make them unique from the rest. Also, ensure you make use of photo that is not only recent, but also one that is a clear depiction of you.

Your audience must be chosen very carefully. Consider the type of people you want to network with and then join the forums where they are likely to be found. This improves your chances of getting to connect with industry leaders and other professionals.

A headline must be well composed. The key to making a good headline is to put some thought on what you would like to say. The first thing that a person comes across when he looks for your name is your headline. Make sure it stands out.

When using social media, you will find that there are firms that only use it to celebrate their achievements and pass on press releases. You should not be embarrassed about celebrating y our achievements. However, you need to understand that it is not always about you. Do not try to overdo it all the time.

Social networks are there to make it possible for people to interact and share information with others. As a result, it will be vital to let your professional tone down once in a while and interact with other users. Share information and posts you think might be of help.

Spelling and grammar are often overlooked by many online media users. If using a tablet or smart phone, be sure to go through all the words that you type. In the legal profession, professionals are required to be good and consistent when it comes to spelling and grammar.

All information posted online should be consistent at all times. Even if posting in different forums, make certain that all the details are very consistent. If you fail to be consistent, there is bound to be someone who will notice and then call you out on the same.

The type of content that is to be posted online should be properly filtered. Learn to differentiate between professional and personal content. If posting in a private account whose information you would like to limit, be sure to tweak the settings. This will reduce the number of people who can see such a post.

For an Idaho lawyer, practice and consistency is bound to bear fruits. One needs to spend time on the platforms that he has chosen to engage in. With time, he will have mastered all the basics and will become a pro at using them.
