Why you should have a practice website

Here’s a blog post from Working Writer that makes a good point for all professionals:

A new survey finds that 101 million adult Americans now get most of their news from Web sites, while 35 million people rely on TV comedians and eight million individuals turn to blogs for their main source of news. An overwhelming majority of Americans said they obtain most of their news from traditional news sources, including TV news programs (78.6%) and newspapers (66.8%).

The survey was commissioned by Edward Segal, author of “Profit by Publicity” (iUniverse, 2007), a how-to reference guide that shows real estate agents and brokers how to generate news coverage about themselves or the properties they sell. The book is based on Segal’s 25-year career in public relations, journalism, politics and real estate.
