The $500 Marketing Plan for New Lawyers

Most young lawyers think growth starts with a bigger budget. More ads. Better branding. A pricey SEO retainer. This episode makes the case for something a lot simpler. If you are starting a firm or trying to get traction early, Brian walks through a lean $500 marketing plan that helps you become findable, credible, and worth calling before you spend real money on ads. The playbook starts with the basics. Own your name and your firm’s domain. Set up a professional email. Build a simple one-page website that works on mobile and gives people a reason to trust you. Then it moves into the channels that actually matter when you are new. Google Business Profile, the right categories, a real description, and consistent social handles so people can confirm you exist. From there, the conversation gets even more practical. You will hear how a short, useful lead magnet can give people a reason to raise their hand, why follow-up matters more than fancy design, and how simple Loom videos, quick calls, and honest communication can make prospects feel understood instead of processed. The last piece is what makes this plan work over time. Reviews. Not someday. Soon. At the right moments. Because when people already trust you, your marketing has a much easier job. If you are a new lawyer, or you know one who is trying to build a real practice without burning cash, this episode is a strong place to start. It is proof that you do not need to do everything. You just need to do the right things first. ____________________________________ Brian Glass is a nationally recognized personal injury lawyer in Fairfax, Virginia.  He is passionate about living a life of his own design and looking for answers to solutions outside of the legal field.  This podcast is his effort to share that passion with others.
