"Learning how to use google plus for business is not difficult but it may take some time to get results, especially if you are not familiar or using Google+ for personal use. Nevertheless, I consider Google plus a must use tool for every online business and as I will explain below, it certainly worth the effort."

"The following is a unique list of Websites, directory as well as places where you must submit your blog. Many of the websites right here are free and for anyone who is developing a fresh blog/Website or haven’t submitted your present Site to those places, make sure you don’t wait and create one.

This actually also has a lot of social media site and social bookmark submitting profile. It isn’t a comprehensive list like thousands of websites or anything, but I’m making a listing of sites that are essential and will also be useful either in search engine results ranking or monitoring your site report."

"Can social media increase altruism?

Every day we use social media to signal our highs and lows, recommend and warn, like and share ideas, experiences, events and products, but could social media have a hand in promoting blood donations and other altruistic acts?

A QUT social marketing researcher is investigating the use of social media to build an identity as a donor to encourage lifelong donating.

Kathleen Chell, a PhD candidate at QUT Business School, said research indicated some donors, like consumers, wanted value in exchange for their contribution.

"But this doesn't make their blood donation any less charitable," Ms Chell said.

"Most donors receive some emotional value from donating such as a good feeling, or a sense of personal fulfillment.

"Some donors, however, do want to receive social value or be recognised for supporting a cause by their 'significant others' because it is an important part of who they are as a person."

Guy Kawasaki made a quote that I love – “The nobodies are the new somebodies”. Over the past 5 years businesses have had a big focus on generating Likes, Followers, Connections and friends on their various Social Media sites. Companies have become obsessed by numbers. They think that if they get 1,000s of Facebook likes on their business page they have cracked the social media puzzle.

However, the online world is no different from the offline one in the sense that Quality will often trump Quantity. So whilst generating a large online community may be important, ensure that your community is made up of relevant, engaged and influential people by reading our ‘Klout for Business: A Guide to Measuring Social Media Influence’."

"Social media app Snapchat is built around telling your story with pictures. Snapchat is also a handy tool to have if you want to send pictures to your friends and family without taking up more memory on your phone. Oddly enough, it’s surprisingly fun. Seriously. When we set out to write this short primer, we were pretty skeptical. When you’ve seen one video text, you’ve seen them all, right? Nope.

So, if you’d rather say everything with pictures, captions, short videos and more, check out our primer and get started today."

"Facebook wants to increase its advertising and get more clicks on all kinds of ads. It believes tapping into the lucrative small business market will help it achieve those goals.

Sheryl Sandberg, the social media company's operating chief and "Lean In" author, says the key is showing business owners how to find new customers by creating Facebook pages and by buying ads that appear on individual Facebook users' pages. The company plans a campaign called Facebook Fit with workshops in five cities to show small business owners the nuts and bolts of using Facebook as a marketing tool."

"A Complete Guide on Starting Google Plus Community
Finally Google + has launched Google Plus Community that can be a great alternative of Facebook Group. It seems to me more appealing then FB group.

The purposes of introducing Google Plus Community are to start conversation to specific hobbies and interest, engage particular groups and organization, meet individuals etc.

Here are some benefits of using G+ Community:"

"By now, you have all probably heard about the Google+ project, Google’s next attempt at making their network more social. Its goal is to make sharing online more like sharing in real life.

If you haven’t gotten your invite just yet, you can learn more about Google+ in the following quick-look video, and by visiting the Google+ project overview, searchable details and discussion pages."

"I am happy to report that Google Plus is now the #2 social network, after Facebook.  No longer is it saddled with the distinction of being the social network you love to hate.

“Ghost Town”, “The Dead Zone”, and a host of other less than flattering  names are a thing of the past.  That being said, many people are still weary of giving it a shot.  Some even go so far as to dredge up it’s  unpopulated past."

"Companies that specialize in promoting sustainability and earth-friendly strategies experience many challenges in their marketing efforts. In today’s society, social media has proven to represent some of the most effective mediums such companies use to get their messages out to the public. Social media isn’t as simple as traditional advertising methods, though; it’s more involved and requires finesse. Here are a few tactics for green companies to use in their social media marketing strategies."

"When it comes to social media, the major players are pretty well defined. Most of us hate Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) but continue to use it because everyone we know does. Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) can be amazing and soul-crushingly annoying in equal measure, depending on whom you follow. Instagram is a great way to see what people had for lunch, and Vine offers a peek at six-second short films that still seem to be too long"

"Have you ever used a tool like HubSpot's Social Media Inbox or Buffer to schedule social media posts? If so, you may have noticed something interesting about the numbers for your clicks and interactions: they make no sense!

What do I mean by that? Have you ever published something and then noticed that even though no one clicked the link, two people favorited it and someone retweeted it?

There are a lot of reasons why this happens. Some are very reasonable, and some require further explanation."

"Well, I had been hearing about “it” for the past week in various blog posts and tweets, and so I was excited to receive an email from Twitter finally telling me I could now access the new profile designs. The very first thing that springs to mind is: “Wow, this profile page is just like Facebook!”. These new profiles are now available to everyone, at least the desktop version. No news as to when the mobile version will be available, but since 84% of active users access Twitter from their mobile devices, we can expect it soon."

"There is much talk these days about building a product for a niche and making a lifestyle business out of it. Much of the online literature about starting up is focused on how to create some fantastic product which will gather millions of visitors and make you a billionaire, and the “new wave”, so to speak, proposes that rather than taking a 1 in 10’000 bet that you can make billions, it is better to take a 1 in 10 bet that you can make millions."
