MS Word Legal Training - Using PowerPoint and YouTube For Promotional Purposes

As part of our course selection, we teach PowerPoint and one of the segments explores presentations. The PowerPoint presentations can be used for both promotion for the legal firm you work for as well as for personal promotion. Let me explain: 1. If you have a Gmail account, then you automatically have a YouTube account. You can create promotional material for your law firm or for your attorney and upload the presentation in movie format to YouTube. Then the link to that presentation can be used in any of the promotional materials for the firm or a particular attorney. While in YouTube, you can create a "Channel" and as the channel expands in terms of what you are offering, people then have more of a reason to subscribe to your channel. 2. As I have over the years heard "concerns" about confidentiality, this does not come into play in this scenario. You want everyone to see your promo material and promo material that also has useful and/or valuable information as well as promotional aspects is even more effective! While larger firms might opt to upload promos to their own server, smaller firms will gladly make use of the free storage space provided by YouTube. 3. For those of you that are not developing promotional material for your firm, you can do so for yourself. This would include incorporating parts of your resume, using video or audio of you talking about yourself as well as samples of things you have done or accomplished. This becomes a nice visual resume that can be posted anywhere you wish or the link to the YouTube video can be included at the bottom of your paper resume or electronic version as additional info and insight as to what you bring to the table. Get a Gmail account and use your free YouTube account to your advantage for your firm or for you personally. Training From An Inside Perspective www.advanceto.com
