Hey Folks, I apologize about my long absence. Things have been a little hectic in my life.
Basically, I love what I do. I love reading about the legal industry, keeping up-to-date with blogs and social media, passing on advice about job openings and reviewing resumes and cover letters.
…but I need to start making money. (I have law student loans to pay!)
From the feedback I’ve heard, I think that I’m offering a useful service, especially with the Am Law listings. Therefore, I’m putting the question out to you dear readers, how can I best monetize it? What would be a fair price? What would I need to change to charge? (E.g., more consistent schedule, etc.) Or, on the other side of things, how can I best market my job board?
Once I start taking on freelance clients, it’s hard for me to also maintain my own websites. Unless I can figure out a way to crowdsource the funding for this site so that I can continue to produce and expand the content, I think the best option for me will be to dedicate my skills to one brand’s success (brand = law firm).
Your thoughts – in comments or in an e-mail (melissa at recruiteresq dot com) – are appreciated.
The Am Law 200 Jobs
I know that I’ve mentioned this before: I *am* working on them. I’m also trying to figure out a better way to present them on the site without using Google Docs. I figured out how to create a table with sorting capabilities on the front-end of my site. No more logging in, going to external sites, etc. With all of that work, however, I haven’t completely finished updating the Am Law 200 Jobs. But maybe later tonight I’ll publish what I have – Am Law 200 Jobs (Firms beginning with A – H).
(Note*: I’ve also decided that I’ll post the Am Law job listings twice per year for the general public. Registered users will have access to the archives of these public listings.)
*Updated
AIIM Expo
I’m going to be blogging from the AIIM Expo over the next few days. In case you haven’t checked it out, take a look at the site. I’ll have a post later tonight about which talks I plan to see, which talks I want to see, and how I’m kinda bummed that I missed the pre-conference certificate sessions. I went last year and I can highly recommend the Enterprise 2.0 certificate program and Hanns Kohler-Kruner as a teacher. You can also take a look at when this course is offered other times through out the year at AIIM’s website.
For those in the Philly area, there’s a Tweetup this week. You should all come out!
More later….
