subject: Get Started With Google Plus Circles [print this page] Google Plus offers Circles as a new concept that makes their social network different right from the get go. The feature really starts to shine when you actually use it! Don't skip it or you'll wind up using Google Plus the same way you do Facebook. Here are some easy ways to use Circles for your business right away and make the most of Google Plus to boot.
Get Yourself An Empty Circle
Start by making yourself and empty circle and use it to add all kinds of information while you research for content.
Use A Circle For Saving Hangouts
Hangouts are a great use of Google Plus Circles in and of themselves, but if you will save those hangouts to a Circle of their own it will be easy to access later. You can even record your hangout if you want. These recordings make great content you can giveaway, add to Youtube, or as upsells. Jing or Camtasia are good software to use to do this.
Collaborative Efforts Inside A Circle
When working on a project a circle is a great way to discuss and share with only those involved in the project.
Benefit By Sharing Circles
If you have some great information that others could use, try sharing a circle filled with that info. Sharing makes you look good and more like an expert in your field.
Include An Insider Circle As A Bonus Or Upsell
Google Plus doesn't provide any way to only give profile access to paying customers, but you can offer entry to a Circle. Content is King. That's how the saying goes. But privileged content is worth money.
