Instructional Social Media Guides

This Infographic Teaches Key Shortcuts and Google+ Tricks

— April 4, 2013 — Pop Culture
There are loads of social media guides on the Internet to help users get the most out of their interconnected web experience, but there are surprisingly few that help users get the most out of the Google+ experience. Considering that Google+ is now the second most active social media network in terms of usage behind only Facebook, one can probably expect more Google+ social media guides to start rolling in.

Google+ as a network is one that shouldn't be ignored, especially by those looking to promote something or direct traffic to their website. Since Google+ links to Google's ubiquitous search engine more easily and frequently than Facebook, being visible on Google+ is one of the smartest moves a web marketer or promoter can make. This guide from Eric Welke is a great place to start the Google+ experience and learn the intricacies of the "little social network that could."
Trend Themes
1. Google+ Social Media Guides - As Google+ becomes more active, there is an opportunity for more social media guides specific to the platform that can help users get the most out of their experience and for businesses to promote their websites.
2. Google+ Marketing Strategies - With Google+ links to Google's search engine, businesses have an opportunity to increase their visibility and direct traffic to their website through innovative marketing strategies.
3. Instructional Infographics - Creating instructional infographics that teach users about a specific social media platform or tool can be a useful marketing strategy for businesses and an informative tool for users.
Industry Implications
1. Digital Marketing Industry - As Google+ becomes more active, the digital marketing industry has an opportunity to create innovative strategies to increase website traffic and visibility through the platform.
2. Social Media Marketing Industry - Businesses can take advantage of the potential benefits of Google+ for their marketing strategy and the social media marketing industry can provide guidance to assist those efforts.
3. Infographic Design Industry - As the popularity of instructional infographics continues to rise, there is an opportunity for the infographic design industry to create innovative and engaging designs that communicate complex information in an easy-to-understand manner.
