WHAT IS GOOGLE+?

Google+ is a Social Network

Relationships on Google+ are asymmetric, which means you can follow people who don’t have to follow you back. Users get a profile, a news stream, the ability to follow topics they are interested in (Sparks), create groups of friends (Circles), interact with them through video chat (Hangouts).

THE SKINNY ON GOOGLE+

Praise“Decided to forward kevinrose.com to Google+. G+ gives me more (real

time) feedback and engagement than my blog ever did.” –Kevin Rose; Founder of Digg

“There’s a reason why Google calls this a “project” rather than a “product” – they don’t want people to think of this as the final product, but as a constantly-evolving entity that permeates every corner of the Google empire.” –Mashable

Worries"You introduce Google+, where am I going to spend that next minute or

hour of my discretionary time? I have no more time.” –Jeff Weiner; CEO of LinkedIn

When it comes to social networking, Google finds itself in an unusual position, one that its competitors in Web search know all too well: playing catch-up with a service that dominates the market.” – New York Times

THE PROS AND CONS OF GOOGLE+FOR SOCIAL SELLING

Page 11: Best PowerPoint Ever

PROS: EASY TO CONSOLIDATE FOLLOWERS

One of the biggest headaches of Facebook is arranging followers into specific groups to reach out to

Google+’s Circles is a the easiest system on the market to share posts with specific targeted groups

Great way to keep in touch with clients and share relevant information with them instantly and privately through Circles

Page 12: Best PowerPoint Ever

PROS: VIDEO CHAT

Best rated feature of Google+

Hangouts lets up to 10 users simultaneously video chat with each other

Video chat options provide a great opportunity for businesses to connect directly with customers

Group video chats offer great opportunities to conduct exclusive workshops or to roll out exclusive promotions to VIP customers

Page 13: Best PowerPoint Ever

PROS: SPARKS

Perhaps the most useful of all Google+’s features is Sparks

Allows users to suggest news stories, videos, photos, and more to specific users or Circles rather than automatically posting it to everyone

This allows for targeted marketing opportunities by focusing on those users who would find your content most useful

Page 14: Best PowerPoint Ever

CONS: TOO MANY SOCIAL NETWORK STREAMS

Already a huge amount of people on other social media networks and it could be a potential waste of effort if Google+ does not catch on

You would need to completely rebuild your social network from scratch – not all of potential sales may be on Google+

Page 15: Best PowerPoint Ever

CONS: TOO MUCH NOISE

If you’re trying to get maximum exposure for your product,

Google+ may not be the right way to go due to:

Too much noise - Top of the stream gets jammed with too much information

Posts are pushed to the top whenever there’s a new comment

Collapsing posts with long comment threads – your post may disappear quickly

Page 16: Best PowerPoint Ever

CONS: TOUGH REACHING YOUR TARGETED AUDIENCE

Unlike Facebook, Google+ does not have a feature that allows you to “blast messages”

It is also still early in the developments and unclear on how easy it is to find people you don’t know

Would cause an exceptional amount of effort to find people and reach out to them one at a time

ADD SOME FLARE GOOGLE+ TIPS AND TRICKS

1. D

2. Mention people in your posts by adding + or @ in front of their name.

3. Clicking the +1 button on a post is the same as “like” on Facebook.

4. Send Private messages to people by only sharing your post with them, disable reshare.

5. You can add photos, videos, or links to your posts by dragging links directly to the share box.
