Google just announced that they have released ‘pages’ for Google+ for profits and non-profits. A new social media real estate land grab/gold rush has begun. There is gold in them there social media hills! It was so simple to create a page on Google+ I thought I would give you a quick step by step guide on how I did it in around 5 minutes.
Step 1 – Create a page
You’ll see at the bottom right hand corner a neat little button and graphic called “Create a Google+ page” Click on that.
Step 2 – Pick a category
You’ll get a chance to pick a category in this step. I think they haven’t quite figured this out yet. I tried to find a blog page as a type of page but I could only find that in arts, entertainment and sports which doesn’t really fit what I need so I’ve created my page under product and brand, not because I think it is the perfect category, but because it is closest to where I think I am positioned.
Step 3 – Customise your page’s public profile
This is a base level way of personalising your profile. I have uploaded a 200 x 200 pixel graphic and added my text from my Facebook page. Boom! Simple.
Step 4 – Spread the word out about your new Google+ page
You can quickly and easily spread the word out on your personal Google+ page straight away. They have made it so simple. They have thought this through really well.
There you have it. It is so easy and simple to create your own page. Have you done a page? Drop a comment below and let me know what you think about pages. Don’t forget to come and say g’day on my page and let the circles begin!
