What Do I Mean By “Social Media Youth Harm Lawsuit”

I’m talking about In re: Social Media Adolescent Addiction/Personal Injury Products Liability Litigation (MDL No. 3047).

The one where it’s alleged that major social media companies designed their platforms to be addictive and unsafe for children and teens.

We are going to review a strategy to get a few cases yourself with DIY marketing.

Main Diy Social Media Harm Lawsuit Marketing Campaign:

Here are the steps for your DIY social media youth harm marketing campaign.

Here is what you will need:

• The ability to update your website or firm’s website
• A phone with a camera or a Fiverr.com account
• YouTube, TikTok, Facebook and Instagram accounts (firm or personal)
• Friends or partners with a website

STEP #1: Make a page on your website dedicated to the MDL

Make a page on your website dedicated to the MDL.

You’re making the page for a few reasons:

• To show your website visitors what you offer.
• To take advantage of some SEO low-hanging fruit.

SEO is a real marketing tactic that can be used to drive huge case volume for mass tort lawyers. SEO agencies charge a lot to run large campaigns for law firms.

For the text content of the page, write about and explain:

• The details of the lawsuit
• Why social media companies are getting sued
• The harms that may occur
• Be very clear about who may be eligible
• Make sure this phrase appears in the first paragraph: “[Your City] Social Media Harm Lawyer”
• IMPORTANT: Explain how the user can get in touch with you

Other Important SEO Details:

• Make the title of the page: “[Your City] Social Media Harm Lawyer”
• Link to this page from your homepage or services page
• Use your website builder to add in heading hierarchy into your page
• Make the title tag: [Your City] Social Media Harm Lawyer” | Free Case Review
• Add this to the URL: [Your City]-social-media-harm-lawyer”, for example: https://example.com/los-angeles-social-media-harm-lawyer

Try not to use any AI when you write this page. Make it over 1000 words long. Think back to how much you wrote in your law school days and harness that experience.

If you do this right, in a few weeks to months it should show up in search engines and LLMs when people search for social media harm lawyers in their area.

STEP 2: Make a Video About The MDL

Make a video about how social media use is alleged to contribute to mental health conditions in minors. Explain the lawsuit in depth, make it clear who is eligible and how people can get in touch with you.

Make sure you also do these:

• Give the video a long and descriptive title like “Can I sue for youth social media harm?” or “Does Instagram cause mental health harm in teens?” This is because there is a kind of intra-platform SEO on YouTube AND YouTube videos can rank in search engines and LLMs.
• Add it to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and embed the YouTube video into the page you made on your website.
• Make sure users know how to get in touch with you from the video details sections. Link to your contact page from the video where possible.

Ideas for Making a Video:

• Idea #1: Use your phone to film yourself or have someone film you. Make it a script or just freestyle (if you freestyle be extra careful to make sure you don’t break any legal advertising rules). If you want to make changes and have a Mac you can edit the video in iMovie.
• Idea #2: Hire a freelancer to make a video. You write the script. You can find packages on Fiverr. It doesn’t have to be the most beautiful video. If you’re overthinking it, you can just order an animated explainer video.

STEP 3: Post the Webpage and Video on All Social Media Accounts

Post it on the firm’s social media. Then post it on your personal social media. Post them on all the accounts you have access to. Have anyone who works at the firm who is willing post it on their social media accounts. Ask friends and family to share your posts.

If you genuinely do all of that, it will increase your reach. It may also get you into search engines faster.

STEP 4: Link to Your Webpage

Ask at least two friends or partner companies with websites to link to the webpage you made. Two is the minimum but the more you can get the better.

You want the links to come from their company or personal websites. This is an important step.

You can also offer to do a blog post for them. Then in the blog post, link to your social media harm webpage.

Media websites also work if you have the connections.

Search engines and LLMs care about links to webpages. The more quality links the better.

If you can’t find people to link to your webpage from their website, then hire someone on Upwork to build links for you to your social media harm webpage. Make sure you don’t pay for links though, because that break’s Google’s terms and conditions.

BONUS STEPS

The quick and dirty marketing tactics in this section will take a few more afternoons to pull off. But just think of those potential plaintiffs out there.

The above steps are crucial and these are extras.

You don’t need to do all of these if you don’t have time but these tactics can expand your reach even more.

STEP 5: BONUS

Go on Industry Adjacent Podcasts. Think Podcasts for parents or ones that people who have kids may listen to. Focusing on local podcasts relevant to your area is a great idea. Make sure to always tell the audience how they can get in touch with you.

STEP 6: BONUS

Write about it for industry adjacent publications. Same as above, get in front of parents. Contribute guest articles explaining the situation with the lawsuit and dangers of social media to kids.

STEP 6: BONUS

Spread The Word In Your Community

• Speak at networking events
• Put an ad in local church bulletins

Why These Tactics Work

The point is, potential plaintiffs don’t know about these MDLs. You need to spread awareness. For you to get a slew of locally based cases, all it would take would be for you to spread the word to a local group of parents or friends of kids who are impacted.
