So what are you actually doing on Google Plus? Using G+ to Bring in More Business

Discussion in 'Google+' started by cronik, Oct 19, 2014.

    Every single time I come to the Google+ section of DP I see a bunch of questions with obvious answers, but I never see any good techniques or ideas that explain how to promote a business on the network.

    I have used Google + to promote websites and share articles, videos, etc - but I have not had much luck with Google + for my freelancing web design business. What are you guys doing to bring in more customers, leads, and traffic to your websites? Let me know what's working for you, I just want to see someone throw some ideas around so I can come up with more ideas and find out what works for me.

    For a while I was following a bunch of people in the same industry and people who would potentially need a website built or redesigned - and yes, I have gotten a bunch of followers in return. However nothing significant. Should I continue with that strategy and simply share content from my blog or (upcoming) website?

    Are there any techniques that specifically work for G+? I want to create infographics, videos, and other forms of content to share, and I just want to reach as much people as possible when I do it.

    So FINALLY - Let's share some real Google + marketing strategies!!!!

    I appreciate your Web Design Business, but I would like to ask one question, why are you just focusing on G+ only? There are several ways to promote you Web Design Business, yourself can promote giving 30 minutes everyday. nothing more than that. I can suggest 1 good technique for your business, if you want.

    No, I am not just focusing on G+ - I am simply asking what everyone does to make the most out of Google Plus. I am going to manage social profiles on all major sites and was just wondering what strategies and methods people are using for Google +.

    Hi! If you are serious in boosting your business through social media then gplus is a good place to be. It's indexed by Google and top influencers are active in G+. Gplus enhance your brand by educating your followers, serves as a customer service, and you can build or join communities. Google+ is full of information, news, science, politics, tech, parenting, music, photography, friendship and lots of love. Hanging in Real Life (HIRL) with people you met on Google+, photo walks, concerts, artists and so much more. The key is not just sharing but talking with the people in your circles. And enbrace Hangouts. It helps. Good luck!

    @Diana Wallace Makes some great points about Google+. It is all about engaging with others on G+ if you want success. Share other peoples content, comment, and +1. This will help build rapport with people. Getting on hanoguts is the best way to build rapport with people.

    People do business with people they like and trust

    I share interesting and quality posts that can actually help me gain more followers or even just good comment on my post.
