Still thousand of Intern Marketers and en
l, ds net ntrepreneurs have alr
ready start
ted
usin Google+ to further their outr
ng reach, connect with their target audience and
velop relationships with new pa
dev artners and networkin opportun
d ng nities.
Within this rep
port, we'll t
take a clos look at how Goog
ser gle+ works, what it ca do
, an
for your busin
ness and how you can further c
customize y
your Google Plus acc
count.
OK, let's begin.
etting Started W Google+
Ge With
Goo
ogle+ was developed on a very simple fo
d y oundation. Rather tha adding friends
an
into one comm
o munity bas you can segment your conta
se, n acts by add
ding them into
"cir
rcles".
You can call y
u your circles anything you wish, such as "F
s Friends", "N
Network
Par
rtners", or e
even "Customers". Y can als have as many circ
You so s cles as you wish.
u
The best thing about your circles is that they are kept p
e g y private, so that even when
you add some
u eone to your circle, th only se that you
hey ee u've added them as a
d
nnection, not what cir
con rcle you ad
dded them into.
oined Goog
When I first jo gle+, I set u 4 circles. One for friends, pa
up artners, fam
mily,
stomers and "warriors where I added eve
cus s" eryone I kn
new, and co
ommunica
ated
with from the Warrior Fo
h orum.
By doing this, I can post content th goes out only to s
t hat specific cir
rcles, allow
wing
me to "tailor" my conten and upda
nt ates based on segme
d ented grou of cont
ups tacts.
This is VERY powerful, because in
s nstead of p
posting an update as you would on
s d
Fac
cebook or T
Twitter, an your ent followin base be
nd tire ng eing able to see it, yo can
o ou
Page 6

r
crea conten around s
ate nt specific aud
diences, w
which gives you the opportunity to
con
nnect in a v
very differe and far more per
ent, r rsonalized way.
You could cre
u eate a circle around e
existing cus
stomers an post up
nd pdates about
vari
ious niche markets, o even run a newsle
