In this special bonus episode, I describe how Immigration Leaders can leverage the power of their voice to build their community
Since relaunching the show last week, and launching an open call to action for Leaders within the Immigration community to come on this show and our upcoming video panels, I have received a lot of questions that boil down to two categories.
-
Why would I want to do this?
-
How do I go about doing this?
I actually covered both of these, a much more, in an article I wrote for the EB-5 Investors Magazine. So I re-purposed that article, threw in some updates and bring it to you here.

I cover some ground on why you should consider using your voice and the Power of The Podcast. Below are the requirements and steps I outlined in the episode
Basic requirements
- Content. Make sure you have something to say before you say it.
- A Platform for Voice & Video. I mention Skype, but Google Hangouts is also gaining in popularity.
- A good webcam and microphone.
- The Logitech Webcam C920
supports 1080p Widescreen Video Calling and Recording (The buiness calss c930 is a bit harder to use and doesn’t come with recording software)
- The Audio-Technica ATR2100 Microphone
is a Dynamic microphone that can hookup via USB and XLR (for higher end audio equipment)
- The Logitech Webcam C920
- Software
The next steps
- Start recording your thoughts. Use a program such as Evernote
- Offer one free consultation per week. I also describe what to do with this time and why I don’t believe in free consults all week
- Appear on other voice or video outlets. We have an open call for leaders on this show. Learn more here.
- Host your own show. Entertainment Lawyer Gordon Firemark just launched a great resource for launching your own Legal Podcast
- Build and cultivate your community. I have a lot to say about this. I will be sharing my thoughts and those of other experts. Please make sure you subscribe to our email list to get this insider information.
Content caveats
- Don’t start from the ‘Basics’
- Be mindful of the large information gap of clients to attorneys
