Google plus

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking – you’re already battling to stay on top of your Twitter and Facebook feeds, how on earth are you supposed to maintain a Google+ account too?

It’s one of those platforms that, on the face of it doesn’t seem to have done much.

Having said that it gives you the power to grow communities, keep track of people by placing them in circles and it is a great social media driver for your communications and information-rich content.

There’s something else too; something that can really make a difference and raise your profile to stellar heights.

Want to know what it is?

Yeah, got your interest now, haven’t I?

OK, I’ll tell you.

Hangouts.

That’s right. No other social media platform can do this. Using the hangout feature, you can give your business a human face.

Its video conferencing that’s free (up to 10 participants), giving you a fantastic way of pushing your business from humdrum supplier to all singing all dancing expert status.

Plus, they can be public or private, so if you wanted you could use them as a way of facilitating paid consultancy work.

Not only that, but they can also be used for:

Meetings
Customer service
Product demonstrations
Hangouts from live events
Online courses
Webinars

Plus, how about conducting interviews across a hangout and then posting that content on your website, YouTube channel, Google+ and twitter streams?

See – Google+ has the ability to help you turbo charge your content marketing strategy as well as run your business in a more streamlined, customer-focused way.
