Google Plus For Business



Since there is such a huge multivariate of experts on Google+, can I make a suggestion? Pick One. Yeah One. Just one Google+ expert, just one Google+ Authority. Here’s Why!

All the time I see pleas from new peeps on Google+, asking who to follow for G+ business marketing advice. We usually have no idea what kind of business he or she has, what goals the person has, or what they want to achieve on Google+ marketing their business.

The poor person usually gets back No less than 30 people to follow on Google+. They all usually say the same thing, mostly sharing Google Blogs and most advice on Google Plus comes down to “Click here” and “Go there…” Nothing wrong with that either, but there are other things you should be doing in your Google+ Marketing plan too.

In IM (internet marketing) we call this Guru Hopping or Niche Hopping: Go follow every one, try everything, fail at everything. Then go cry. In fact it was Chris Brogan that ispired this article with his We Are No Experts blog post today.

Here’s a little different plan than most Google+ click experts will tell you to use and one that will return way more than ANY number of followers on Google+, Facebook or Twitter ever could

Can I ask you something? Do you have the #1 expert in any subject, that you can ask for the decisive answer, on any question that you have?

No you probably don’t. Because you spend most of your time worrying about how many friends you have on Twitter, Facebook and G+ rather than who and how many you have been a friend to….

So here is a list of in my eyes, The most accessible and top experts in their particular niches. These are the people you want to get to know. Because when you need help, and you have used social sharing, commenting and voting to let these people get to know you, they will help you.
