God Bless Mrs. O'Keefe
Kevin O’Keefe of LexBlog set up my weblog. LexBlog is a turnkey blog operation. They do the design, the layout, the coding, register the domain name, get everything working right and all the lawyer has to do is write and post. Kevin has made my life much easier. At the beginning, I wasn’t certain that the extra money would be worth it. After doing this for a bit, I can definitely say that the amount of hassle that Kevin has taken out of my life by handling everything makes it worth every penny.
Kevin still has the only dedicated lawyer weblog packaging system out there (at least to my knowledge). It takes a lot of guts to go out on your own and start a business. That’s fine. But how much guts does it take to start a business in a field that doesn’t yet exist?? I picture a conversation that went something like this:
Kevin: “Honey, I know I’ve been a lawyer for 18 years and selling the Prairie Law Discussion Board to Lexis went pretty well, but I’ve got a new idea. Let’s pack up the kids and move to Seattle. I want to build blogs for lawyers.”
Mrs. O’Keefe: “Hmmm…..Building blogs for lawyers. Do those businesses make much money?”
Kevin: “Well…..It’s hard to say. Because no one is doing it yet.”
Mrs. O’Keefe: “Okay. You want to start a business, that no one else is doing and have no idea how much you can make.”
Kevin: “Yep.”
It takes a lot of guts to start a business, but to start a business in a field that doesn’t exist yet, that’s a stone cold mofo. All I have to say is “God Bless Mrs. O’Keefe”.
