Your Brand & G+: Using Communities to Promote, Engage, and Influence “Pt. 4 Let the people speak for you"

Our discussions of your brand and Google+, to this point, have centered on the many ways you can benefit from the creation, curation, and engagement in your brand’s Google+ Communities. We’ve looked at user-generated content (UGC) and data mining already, and this week we’re going to focus a bit more on those two points with a specific goal in mind – testimonials.

When you create your brand’s Google+ Communities, you’re opening spaces where your customers and fans can share content specific to your goods and services. Word-of-mouth advertising is great, but if you look a little closer you’ll see that everything posted in your Community is yours to use as you see fit across platforms.

There is no denying the power of positive reviews and glowing testimonials. They add credibility to your brand for one simple reason – people value other people’s opinions far more than any marketing material you can dream up. So, pay close attention to the comments and sentiments you find in your Communities. You never know when a post, comment, or anecdote may be the centerpiece of your next marketing effort!

Thanks for reading, have any question feel free to ask them below or start a new post!

Hello Everyone

Hello Everyone,

My name is Oleg Moskalensky, I'm the Founder, President & CTO of Productive Computer Systems (aka PCS). Pleasure to be invited to your community.

My background is in all things IT. I've been in Information Technology since early 80s. I've seen & done a lot in this industry since then. First 17 years were all in the Corporate realm, followed by another 18 freelancing.

Without giving you a long list - I've mostly concentrated on designing, programming, implementing & supporting highly customized computer systems for businesses, mostly small businesses. I have a passion for what technology can (read: does) bring to just about any kind of business and seeing how many businesses either don't know what technology to use or how to use it, how to make their business and employees far more efficient and thus effective, how to use technology to save money instead of wasting it - I try to do what I can in helping businesses bring appropriate technology for their needs, and thus make their lives much better.

Everyone knows using technology is a must, but unfortunately not everyone is aware of precisely what technology to use (since there's a lot and it's in a constant change of dizzying speed) and, just as importantly, how to best use the right technology (yes, there are still people who use Excel to create Word Processing documents). That's precisely where my company can be of significant benefit and help.

If you have a business and would like to be more informed about technology - certainly feel free to follow my PCS page on G+, you'll find nothing other than technology-related posts there and several useful Collections. And of course always feel free to reach out to me directly, if you have any questions.

Also, from time to time I record educational videos about Google Apps (sorry, G Suite this week) as well as many other tech-related topics, that you may find of value. They can all be found on PCS' YouTube Channel.

In addition to handling larger size businesses, I also offer a service for extremely small businesses, called #SPECzone. This service was created for even 1-person businesses who simply can't afford to have their own full-time IT dept or staff, yet, as we all know, every single business, regardless of its size, can definitely benefit from their own IT Dept. You can get more info from the SPECzone Collection, but essentially you're able to get professional IT help, as if you had your own IT Dept, for as little as $350/mo.

Hurrah! things are back to normal ! We, therefore return you to your regularly scheduled broadcast.

Why spend time cleaning up the data in the spreadsheet when you can force your users to do it right in the first place?

As part of Google's Education on Air, I'm running a session called Google Forms Validations where I'm going to show you how to create your own validations using regular expressions. This is great when you want to ensure the data is formatted properly when entered. For example:

• Phone numbers as xxx-xxx-xxxx
• Postal codes (ensuring letters are capitalized): T5J 4S2
• Emails from a specific domain: johndoe@here.com.
• Course numbers (capital letters): ACCT101

Your Brand & G+: Using Communities to Promote, Engage, and Influence “Pt. 3 Leveraging the Power of Google”

In our previous discussions about Google+ and your brand, we’ve touched on the many uses of user-generated content as well as the benefits of data mining your Communities. This week we’re going to look at how you – the business owner – can leverage the power of Google to improve your online efforts in a number of areas.

The first, and possibly most beneficial, use of your Google+ Communities is keyword identification. If your business advertises with Google AdWords, these keyword finds can be worth more than gold. Any marketer will tell you that a power keyword can mean serious returns on your online advertising investments. You’ll also be able to gauge consumer sentiments surrounding specific topics you post. This is priceless market research gained for nothing more than the creation of a Community!

There is a rumor out, and I suspect it to be true, that Google favors Google+ posts in search results. This means that all of the relevant, juicy content you post, and is picked up and discussed by your Community, will be indexed effectively, and lead to much greater traffic to your Community and your brand site due to your status as an authoritative leader in search engine results pages.

As you can clearly see, Google+ has the power to greatly enhance your online branding efforts for far less than any paid service could match – it’s free. It really is as simple as taking the time to create meaningful, relevant Communities tied to your goods and/or services and pushing them out for the G+ world to see.

Thanks for stopping by have a great day!

A very Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

New Notifications Experience on Android
We're turning on an improved Google+ notifications experience on Android (with version 9.1.0). This new system will deliver Google+ notifications more reliably and includes some new features as well.

For starters, you can not only mark all notifications as read but filter all your notifications by All, Unread, and Other Updates as well. (These filters are already available on the Google+ Web and iOS apps.)

With this update we'll also hide application menus when you scroll through notifications to give you a full screen view of what's happening. Just scroll back up to reveal the menus again and/or tap the Notifications tab to quickly jump to the top of your notifications list.

As always, please send us your ideas/issues using our Send Feedback menu item as that's the best way to ensure we'll see them. Thanks~

And my guest whoi has downloaded the toolbox for the very first time, gets the error, too. Is there anybody who knows what 401 and "

It would be awesome to have some friends testing these tools, too!

Google Keep is a simple little note taking app, which is free, simple to use and incredibly useful, both for business and personal use.

I've recorded several videos about Keep in the past, but since then a number of new features were introduced and it's worth doing another in-depth look why anyone who needs to enter, organize & easily retrieve information should keep Google Keep!

As with PCS HOAs - the companion Google Spaces is https://goo.gl/spaces/Z5iY3boGVMvf3naDA. That's where you'll find all of the relevant info, links and enter comments, questions etc.

Your Brand & G+: Using Communities to Promote, Engage, and Influence

Google+ has quickly become one of the premiere social media platforms in the world. Much of the success of G+ has been due to the ingenious inclusion of Communities which are basically user-created discussion forums organized around a particular subject. This is where G+ can really have an impact on your brand.

While it’s never okay to use your G+ Community to actively advertise your business (Google has some serious push-back if you try so don’t take the risk) you can still provide a place for your partners and customers to interact with each other by sharing best practices, asking and answering questions, and discussing important topical information. This can be a very powerful tool for increasing brand awareness and promoting your company’s reputation as an industry leader

Your customers are one of the best resources you have as a business. Why? Because user-generated content (UGC) is king today, and no place gives you the opportunity to leverage that content better than G+. User-generated content refers to the photos, videos, and comments your Community members leave on your page. This type of content is seen as more trustworthy, more memorable, and more influential by users than traditional marketing materials, and, best of all, it’s free of charge Ask your members to share, create a photo/video contest, or come up with any other way to increase involvement. Then all you have to do is give members the freedom to voice their opinions, engage with them regularly, and sit back and watch the UGC fly!

With more than 1.6 billion people using social media every day for an average of 5.4 hours, there’s a limitless, untapped reservoir of potential customers just waiting to join your business Community So give them what they want – a relevant, targeted, topical forum where they can share their ideas and experiences. All you have to do is stay engaged, stay on topic, and stay on mission. Your customers will do the rest!

Get started with Communities (https://goo.gl/L97lLi)

Thanks for reading have a great day!!

Hope to see you at the Friday Evening session at 8:00PM Central.

Posting in a Community is now easier than ever

Posting in a Community is now easier than ever

Communities are made for sharing, but newcomers don’t always see that round green button in the bottom right corner. So today we’re introducing the easy sharing box at the top of the Community page on web.

Of course, you can still start your post with the pencil button if that’s what you’re used to. Either way, expect to see a few new members joining the conversation in a Community near you.

Hi!

Hi! I was just approved. I am VERY excited because I am starting to teach a live course, scheduled for Monday -- and there are still glitches in my Live Stream HOA. I got a LOT of help from Craig Long at the forum for HOA and also Chad LaFarge and harish Bali on the forum as well. However, Craig suggested you, so this is great!

I have 2 questions: #1 in testing it out w a friend, there seems to be an echo. She is hearing me twice. I did NOT have this problem with another friend, just one. We tried lowering my sound and hers but it did not help. Also the video replay does not show this problem.

#2 My course needs to have all students be anonymous. These students have been personally screened by me by phone. How do we make the chat not be their real names?

Thank you SO much!

She wants to use the YouTube chat and have viewers ask questions. Apparently she is doing that OK but there is a problem with echoes, where I do not know.

I invited her to join the User2User community.

My apologies to Mark Barrus, Le David Morris, and others who may have tried to join this morning's session.
