In a nutshell, Google+ is a social networking platform, but you can look at it a lot of different waysbut has many different aspects to it. It’s a little like Facebbook, only cleaner. It’s a little like Twitter, only more engaging. It could possibly be a great collaboration and communication tool and what’s cool about it is that you can control who sees information by sharing it with specific people or groups and has a potential to send a TON of traffic to your website.

Google+ is obviously a Google Product so therefore all of the content that runs through Google+ is indexed and is accepted by all of the search engines.
So, the big question is, “How will Google+ help your business?“. Well, as we know, social networking is a way to share valuable content, get a lot of exposure to your websites, and build relationships, etc. In fact, more people are using social networks instead of face to face meetings. Don’t get me wrong, people are still going to face to face meetings, but most are using the social networking platforms much more frequently. I personally am a big advocate of doing old school networking with new school networking because it just works extremely well together.
Now, here’s what is great about Google+ …
Google+ allows you to share videos, pictures, url’s and location information with everyone, or with a select few Remember, you have full control and is indexed in the search engines…where Facebook and Linked is not. It’s more ‘exclusive’ to your friends and connections. That is the difference and what makes Google+ very unique.
It’s definitely something to keep an eye on and tap into to help your business.

How To Avoid Writer’s Block and Create Quality Content For Your Blog
Have you neglected your blog because you realize that you don’t have any idea on what to write about. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many people suffer from writer’s block and is the #1 reason why people do not consistently create quality content.
The way to run a successful blog, is to write interesting content consistently. The good news is, you have access to tons of ideas and topics for your blog posts. It’s right at our finger tips. It’s called, “The Internet”. Shocking right?
The internet is flooded with useful tips on every topic you can imagine and I want to help you simplify the process of coming up with new fresh content. So, after reading this, you should be able to toss all excuses out of the window when it comes to avoiding writer’s block.
This 3 step process for creating quality content will allow you to start writing more frequently and get more readers interested in your blog posts:
1. Research Keywords In Your Niche
Instead of trying to guess what you should be blogging about, simply right down a list of keywords that pertain to what your niche is based around. If your niche is “Network Marketing”, don’t just do a search on that keyword phrase because it’s too broad. Instead, brainstorm and write down keywords that fall into that main category, such as, “personal development tips”, “leadership skills”, “prospecting ideas”, etc. Then go to Google and do a search for those particular keywords.
2. Read Other People’s Articles
So, now that you have Googled your keywords, you should have found some interesting articles that have already been written by other people. This is your time to read 2 or 3 of them and decide which article you like best.
3. Rewrite The Article In Your Own Words
Don’t worry. This is not stealing content. In this 3rd step, all you will do is write the entire article over again in your own words. Read the article 2 or 3 times to grasp the concept of what the article is about and start writing it the way you would want to share it with your audience.
VIOLA! Once you are done rewriting it, you now have fresh new content. See how simple that was? The concept here is about learning something, and reteaching it. This is the perfect way to start sharing valuable information and avoiding writers block so that you can start coming up with fresh new quality content for your blog.
