Buy and sell Google + related services.

Increase Google +  circles

Yesterday I stumbled onto a site which is similar to Fiverr. In this freelancer marketplace, one can buy Google +.

PlusGigs is a marketplace where users of Google+ can exchange serivces that they offer and where buyers can obtain such services.

I think I have not explained it clearly.

Here is a screenshot of various gigs in http://www.plusgigs.com/  

There is a mad rush already for getting big social media marketing. Google + is the leader in the pack. Webmasters and bloggers are falling head over heals to please their might master Google. They are hell bent on increasing their G+ circles.

It is shrewd on the part of plusgigs.com to start G+ services marketing.
Interesting concept. I think there are more sellers of G+ related services than buyers.

I wonder how long it will last!

Google Plus Profiles directory.

After I created a Google plus page for my Blogging Academy, I went about gathering knowledge about how to promote it. Got the hang of circles and played around it for some time.

Naturally, I wanted  to build my circle quickly. I wanted to find Google plus profiles of people who share my interests.

I searched for a directory of G+ profiles where I can search with certain keywords.

I found out this Google Plus Profiles directory.

http://findpeopleonplus.com/

 
It has over 45 Million Google+ users indexed. I could search for G+ profiles by my city (Chennai). Well, M.S. Dhoni's Google plus profile stared at me and tempted me to add him into my circles.

I ignored my temptation and keyed in "Bloggers India".
I saw several in this URL:

You can find people by relationship, education, gender, occupation, country and city.

You too can add your Google plus profile by simply clicking on the "Add/Update me to directory" button found at the top left corner, just about the web site name.
There is more in the directory. Go take a peep.

Would Google plus help your blog?

If you are also going to blog about Google plus, never write as Google +.

How bloggers can make use of Google plus to attract more targeted visitors? This question is widely raised in the Internet marketing forums and as expected, answers are diverse. Though the number indicates that there are already 10 million Google plus users, I feel it would take a long time to make the Facebook loyalists to betray Facebook.

Here are some answers that I gathered from various places in the web:

* Google allows to place links to your blogs. This means you can also link to your digital foot print.
* Sharing of information is allowed like any other social networking sites.
* I find it easy to add friends and people with similar interests.

Due to lack of patience, I give below a link to a blog post that has pointed several features of Google plus.

It will help you to grasp the full potential of Google plus.
