The Wonders Of Google+ Explained
Vicki HemmingsTillison Consulting
Did you know?
Did you know that Google+ had 1203 million visits per month in 2013?
That’s 400million more than Facebook & 800 million more than Twitter.
Brief History
Google Plus was launched in 2011 to a select group of invitation only
testers.
Brief History
Brief History
Originally called Google Circles, it was designed to help you organise your acquaintances into certain
circles in order to better target communication.
Brief History
Demand was so great in the 1st 2 weeks that even in the beta stage it attracted 10million users and within a month they had
25million users.
Brief History
Google Plus underwent many facelifts.
Unlike Jackie, Google+ got better with age
Google Plus Now
Google+ now boast 540 million active users. 300 million of those are what they call ‘in stream’ users, people actively
using G+, the other active users are using G+ linked accounts such as making comments on YouTube.
Google still counts them.
Remember
As they continue to change their algorithm and put a greater precedence put on social
interaction they are of course going to value interaction on their platform more greatly than any other, so my advice is…..
Like buying stocks, get in while it’s cheap and reap the rewards when they boom!
How It Works
Circles
Circles
When connecting with people on Google+ in order to group them, you place them into circles.
Circles
People can be placed into more than one circle.
Whilst they are made aware you have placed them in a circle, you won’t be told which one.
Circles
The greatest benefit to Google Plus circles is being able to disseminate information to specific groups.
For example, if you are a business who has an offer for new customers only, you can send this offer only to your circle of
new customers without offending the old ones.
Communities
Communities
Communities act like old school forums….
Communities
As an individual they are a place which you can go to discuss things you are interested in.
As a business they have two functions:
1. You can join communities to exchange information about your industry.
2. Or you can join communities to whom your knowledge/service might be of use.
Communities
Positioning yourself as an authority (a friendly one) will help grow your audience.
By spreading your knowledge in communities and on your profile will also
grow your audience and in turn make you a greater authority.
Communities
It is life the Google Plus circle of life.
