If you are like the VAST majority of business owners or entrepreneurs there is a very high chance that you are not taking advantage of the web’s most underrated social network:

Even the non-computer-savvy business owners realize the power of Facebook, more and more are even getting on the Twitter bandwagon – yet LinkedIn Corporation® barely gets a mention.

WHY???

I don’t know. I can’t even wrap my head around it! It is utterly confusing that people aren’t taking advantage of this social network. LinkedIn Corporation® isn’t some minor player. It is a big time social network. It might not be boasting Facebook numbers but it still has…

NOW OVER 100 MILLION MEMBERS!

Yeah, over 100 million. We are talking Twitter numbers here. LinkedIn Corporation® is no joke. It is a serious player in the realm of social networking. In fact, serious is a great way to describe LinkedIn Corporation®. Twitter and Facebook users are so used to spam that every offer they see on those networks is greeted with wariness and distrust. You are in business, you know first impressions count! Imagine trying to close a sale in person after you walk in and the business owner instantly distrusts you. How many sales are you going to close?

When it comes to user trust, LinkedIn Corporation® BLOWS away the competition. According to a recent study, only 28% of Twitter users trusted the information they received on that network. Facebook was even worse, coming in at 23% trust. LinkedIn Corporation®?

A WHOPPING 82% OF LINKEDIN USERS TRUSTED THE INFORMATION THEY RECEIVED THERE!

So, when you are interacting with people on LinkedIn Corporation® they are much, much, much more willing to trust you when you approach them with your proposal, friend request or even straight up offer. LinkedIn Corporation® doesn’t have the huge member numbers of a Facebook, but it has 4x as much trust. Everyone knows the importance of trust in the business world. You don’t have much, if you don’t have trust.

Another great thing about LinkedIn Corporation® is the high level of professionalism on the site. The site isn’t full of a bunch of random people, it is usually professionals who are looking to network. No one will be surprised you want to network with them, since that is why they are there. You can also get your offer, service or brand in front of DECISION MAKERS.

80% OF LINKEDIN USERS INFLUENCE BUSINESS DECISIONS AT THEIR COMPANY

How is that for a stat?

With LinkedIn Corporation® you know two things. People will be more open to your offer, and these people are influential.

By this point, you must be intrigued. The last two stats alone should instantly catch the eye of the savvy business owner.
I don’t want to insult your intelligence, so at this point I will assume you are sold on the idea of LinkedIn Corporation® (I mean, who wouldn’t be?). Now the problem is…

WHERE CAN YOU LEARN HOW TO TURN LINKEDIN INTO THE ULTIMATE LEAD GENERATION TOOL?

Well, just leave that to us. We have compiled all the LinkedIn Corporation® information you will need, into one handy guide. Using LikedIn to Grow and Expand Your Business

Shortcut Straight To The Twitter Techniques That Are ESSENTIAL To You As An Internet Marketer, And Leave Out All The Padding And Fluff!

What do you think limits your online profit more than anything?

Sure there could be a dozen reasons but as a professional internet marketer I can tell you what one of the main leeches on my time is.
Actually it’s two things

• LACK OF KNOWLEDGE and

• LEARNING CURVE.

  I know what it’s like – You see services, products and software that you KNOW will benefit your business but it’s impossible for you to use them unless you know what you’re doing with them.

  Why not simply outsource these tasks?

  Well you could, but here’s a key point missed by MANY marketers – in fact many fulltime pros don’t even recognize this…

TO BE ABLE TO OUTSOURCE EFFECTIVELY YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THE SERVICE OR SOFTWARE USED IN THE PROCESS!

How would you instruct a freelancer without knowing about the nuts and bolts of Twitter….. the etiquette, the capabilities of the software and the possible pitfalls?

It just wouldn’t work.

But on the other hand, learning all these things takes times, and if you’re a pro marketer time is money – cliche but true.

If you’re not yet fulltime you’re probably struggling to find time to work on your business anyway, with your job, family, the shopping, paying the bills, washing the car, and all the other things that make up our day to day lives, let alone learn essential new techniques.

But some things are pretty important for your business.

And if you’re not yet using Twitter as a marketing tool then – let’s speak plainly – you’re falling behind the competition.

Well I can help, by showing you ONLY the things you need to know about Twitter as an internet marketer.

The rest you simply don’t need.

n this simple but deadly effective shortcut guide, you’ll discover..

Your time is MONEY

You cannot waste it learning every aspect of every service and product.

But you NEED Twitter as a marketing tool.

As the new kid on the block Google Plus still has to earn the right to run with the big dogs. However, the sheer volume of resources being deployed by Google demands that serious marketers jump in and test the waters early on. Google poured over $500 million into the launch of Google Plus.  And that is just the launch.  Surely there is more to come.

The social network is a collection of several social products.  They currently include Stream; a newsfeed, Sparks; a recommendation engine, Hangouts: a video chat service, Circles; a friend management service, Games and Photos.  Some pundits have described Google Plus it as most like a combination of Facebook and Twitter.

Google Plus One – Like it or not

The Google Plus One (+1) button is the Google version of Facebook’s ‘Like’ button. It allows you to like (as in +1) a website.  The +1 button appears everywhere on the internet, including search results, on websites, on ads…and the list goes on.

Clicking on the button allows anyone to vote for and recommend favourite websites, online products and so on. Although the +1 button is similar to the Facebook ‘like” button there is a big difference, people don’t need to sign in to a Google account to use the +1 button.  That feature alone makes the +1 button more convenient and easier to use than the Facebook “like” button. 

Why you should care?

Unlike other failed Google social media projects such as Google buzz and Google wave, Google Plus is simple, straightforward, easy to use and operate.  Not only that, Google is spreading the opportunity to plus one across the net like never before.  So, it is quick and easy to use and people who visit your website can +1 it by clicking on an icon you place on your site.  When someone clicks on the +1 icon on your site that recommendation is shown to their friends, family, and other contacts that are connected to their Google profile page.

And there is more.  Google reportedly does index Google Plus profiles. You can bet Google Plus will become a factor in Google’s search algorithm over time. 

Google Plus launched as a personal social platform and quickly evolved into a business friendly platform.  That is big news!  It looks like Google saw a chink in the Facebook armour and chose to exploit the opportunity. So now businesses have a single venue that provides a newsfeed, a recommendation engine, a video chat service, a friend management service, a place to upload images and a means to communicate with others. .    

Yes, advertising is available.

Google Plus advertising program is available through Google Adwords. However advertising on Google Plus is on a different platform than Adwords. It looks like advertising rates on Google Plus are going to be higher than Adwords costs.

The Google Plus platform is so new the advertising aspect could change a lot as it evolves. The social aspect will almost certainly affect the outcomes in big ways. Given the amazing growth and impact social media are having today, chances are good this foray into the social realm could deliver the goods for both Google and advertisers alike.

You can find more information about using Google Plus and Plus One in the membership area.  If you are looking for help implementing your Google Plus initiatives, please feel free to contact us by phone or via the Contact us page on www.appliedmarketinggroup.com
