Hot Business News For July 26, 2011
First up this morning “7 Ways Google+ Users Are Getting more Out of Their Circles.” This article caught my eye of course because of the mention of Google +. Lately it seems that they have been making the rounds in my business blitz news headlines but lets face it, it’s sort of a big deal. This article covers 7 ways that users of Google + are using their circles to get much more out of Google + than others who might not be using it to its full advantage. Just what are these people getting from the newest Google craze? Deeper interaction, education and organization to name just a few benefits!
Next up in news headlines…yup, it’s Google + again but this article is a fun one that I thought would give you guys a break from all of the reading first thing in the morning. “10 Sleek Google + Icons for Your Website or Blog” is more of a resource to help you to find that ideal Google + button to put on your website or blog. I know I personally can spend hours searching for just the right image so I thought I’d pass this one along!
Also in news this morning “How to Sell Without Becoming a Used Car Salesman.” Selling your business is a hard enough task as it is but when you factor in the reputation that used car salesmen bring to the table it can be extremely difficult to avoid feeling like that dreaded salesman each time you approach a potential client about your business. This article covers some good ways to push your business while avoiding that creepy factor including using a call for action!
Last up this morning “9 Business Trends That Aren’t Going Away.” At first glance this article seems to be full of trite little marketing sayings but upon further reading you might just find a few gems of information to help you to advance your business. What are some of these trends that you should be aware of? “Join is the new buy” and “Inspire is the new motivate.”
Parting Shots
This morning I have to say that my favorite article was the one about the benefits of Google + circles but that is more than likely because I absolutely love Google + myself!

I find the response rate I get on + is far greater than that of Facebook… Only time will tell if that continues

So far same thing here, all though I am patiently waiting for the business page side of things for GPlus.

I say the “7 ways google+. . .” is the best one of the group.
I totally understand the feeling they mention in “how to sell. . . ”
“why didn’t you buy from me?” It’s true we can’t take it for granted that people who know us will do business with us.

It’s nice to think they will, but no guarantees in business.
I’ve heard good things about google +. It sounds like a cross between twitter and facebook.
