9 Content Ideas For Promoting Your Business On Google+

1. Post photos

Make it a habit to take photos of people using your products. A great way to show the effect your products have on people is by showing them. Also don’t forget events you’re attending or organizing.

2. Videos

Held a speech recently? Upload and post it in on Google+. Remember to also put a link for people to contact you.

Another way you can use videos is by posting product demos. Sometimes photos just tell half the story, and a video can really deliver a better demonstration of your products.

3. Interviews

Show the human side of your business, by getting employees who can sell your business to do a video interview. Of course, you can also throw in a video of your CEO and get them to talk about how everything got started – along with a couple of customer stories.

4. Local news

Tell people in your city about noteworthy news and interesting events they should be attending. There’s more to life than just your business, and people will appreciate the tip.

5. Share your community’s posts

Likewise, promote and share things your audience is posting too. They’ll appreciate the gesture, and you’ll also help them by getting their name and message in front of more people.

6. Share useful information

Share tips and how-to posts, which empowers your audience. For instance, if you’re selling an app – post a best practices guide. You can also curate content, and post links to interesting articles your audience would want to read.

7. Share your best blog posts

Remember you want to direct people back to your site. Posting your blog posts to Google+ can help you reach a wider audience since the social network indexes your posts and lets them appear in search engines.

8. Ask questions

To quote Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup, “If we do not know who the customer is, we do not know what quality is.” Case in point,  use Google+ to ask questions and gain valuable insights from your audience.

9. Start a Hangout

Google+ Hangouts is essentially a video chat feature that allows you to invite up to 10 people. You can use Hangouts to further engage your audience by hosting live product demonstrations, Q&A sessions and live streaming.
