At www.GreatLegalMarketing.com, Ben Glass offers a free 60-page report for lawyers, Stop Being an Advertising Victim. Over the past few years, I have had the pleasure of getting to know Ben Glass through his participation on two listservs: Solosez, which addresses many issues faced by sole practitioners and small firms and Solomarketing, a Solosez offshoot focused on marketing for small firms and sole practitioners. Because I value his opinion and ideas so highly, I have asked for Ben's advice and input "offlist" as well as on, and he has always been more than generous with sound, well-thought out advice and encouragement. Ben's marketing ideas work because he never goes with the obvious, "do what everyone else is doing" solution. Instead, Ben uses unique approaches to stand out from the crowd of personal injury lawyers. His own marketing materials create a "win-win-win" situation: he attracts more qualified clients, potential clients are educated about important issues (such as how to evaluate attorney advertising or how to buy car insurance), and trial lawyers in general benefit from the dignified way he presents himself and, by extension, the profession.

How many times have you had to ask someone to send you a check because you don't accept credit cards? How many times have you had to chase down late check payments—if you receive payment at all? Accepting credit cards isn't just a convenience for your clients: it can also help you greatly improve your cash flow. Normally, accepting credit cards can be very expensive. In fact, most merchant services will have statement fees, annual fees, terminal leases (usually 36 months, non-cancellable), transaction fees, monthly minimums (minimum charges, that is) and steep cancellation fees. Accept by Phone charges only a $5 monthly fee and offers a 3.95% discount rate. For more information, visit www.AcceptbyPhone.com.

LawRex.com is a new and innovative online lawyer-to-lawyer referral network that helps attorneys quickly build their client base by leveraging connections to other attorneys. The LawRex network is based on a point system, in which lawyers submit referrals and receive points from other lawyers for their referrals. Participating lawyers can then use their points to bid on other referrals. This results in lawyers receiving only referrals they are interested in and able to handle, and fosters the exchange of high-quality referrals. LawRex charges a nominal monthly fee and they offer a free 30-day no-commitment trial period.
