There’s a lot going on with Google+ and I’ve written a short guide (pdf) called Getting Started with Google+. It’s a fast track to help you start using Google+.
The guide is 8 pages long and includes some powerful tips, tricks and tools. I skip through some of the basics like how to upload a picture or video so you can get to the cool stuff that makes Google+ – well, cool.
Here’s some of what you’ll learn:
- Tips on how to setup your Google+ profile
- 3 Tips on using Google+ Circles
- Tips on posting to Google+
- Enhance your Google+ experience with these must-have Google Chrome Extensions
- Get connected quickly to people you’ll find interesting with these Google+ people finders
- Learn how to search all of Google+ with these search tools
- You’ll also receive free updates to the PDF as it grows
- and much more…

Of course i want a copy of your Google+ Guide. Thank you for your helpful guide.
I will subscribe and then get the google+ guide, but i already have G+ account. thank you very much for the PDF.
Hello Kitty Shop » Thanks for checkin’ it out Maria. Hope it helps.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Google+, I don’t see if becoming more popular than the Facebook Like button but lots of people think otherwise.
Kidizoom Twist » Thanks for stoppin’ by Jake. It will be interesting to watch. G+ is turning out to be a great resource. I think right now the +1 button is nowhere near as popular as the facebook like button right now and it’s hard to imagine it ever being better, but we’ll see.
I’ve read a lot about Google+ but have still not tried to experiment with it. Google+ have a very tough challenge if it is to compete with Top networking sites which are already famous. Google + has also started drawing users so its beginning to sound very interesting.
Google+ got lots of coverage when launched, but the “newness” of this social network seems to have dropped off. True, it’s only in Beta, but one has to wonder if they can really make any inroads into Facebook’s dominance!
I like what G+ does and how it works, but I’m not seeing the buy-in that many have hoped for.
Thanks for the google+ guide. I have just started using it and to be honest have found it rather complicated. I am sure its a great tool and many of my twitter friends have started using it- but I find the interface quite hard to get around and I wonder if a revamp will be on the cards as most social media sites need to be easy to access.
Good man – cheers for doing this. I’ll have a read as I really don’t have a clue what I’m doing with Google+ as yet.
I’m on too many social networking sites already, but can see some value in Google+. Hopefully your pdf will give me what I need!
Blogging Tips » Yes, I think it’s going to take a lot to move Google+ ahead of facebook. My mom is on facebook, I don’t think she’ll be able to figure out Google+. It’s a different beast but has it’s place. We’ll see what happens. Thanks for stoppin’ by Barry.
Event photographer London » Another good point Grant, thanks for stoppin’ by. I think Google+ will be different than facebook and have a place. It will be interesting to watch it grow.
Interesting! There are lots of people who are getting hooked with google+.. I’ve been trying to set up my own circles, hope you’ll be one of them. Hope I can get a chance to see those files you’ve shared.
Google+ just went to public this morning. I just created mine. And I will definitely grab the guide you have provided. Thanks for the help.
I have also just opened my Google+ profile and trying to enlarge my circle. It is really exciting and I believe it will be successful like Facebook in near future.
Because at the moment is open for everyone, I hope that Google+ could become “the Facebook killer”. I imagine you have some expectations as well.
Alex » Hi Alex, there’s quite a few social media sites out there and it makes my head spin. I think there’s a place for a lot of them – facebook, twitter, google+. I can’t imagine SOME people leaving facebook as it seems to revolve around close friends and family. Non-techies seem to be quite comfortable at facebook, even with all the changes. People might moan about the changes but they seem to stay.
I subscribe it here. After entering my mail address it gives me an activation link to my mail. I want this Google+ guide because I haven’t lot of knowledge about it.

This is a good opportunity to learn G+ and become a power user in no time. Thanks for the free download, very useful 🙂
@Bill I agree with you. However, in my opinion, Google+ answers the need for privacy, given that Facebook ignores that. It seems to me like a good reason to leave Facebook. How do you feel about it?
As someone who signed up for Googleplus about a week ago, I wish I would have found this guide sooner! Still, given its greater privacy concerns, it strikes me that Gplus may stand a decent chance of supplanting Facebook, or at least being a formidable competitor.
really here you gives many useful tips on Google+. Tips like how to setup Google+ profile, How to posting on it and etc.. really these is very needed because every people do no know all things about Google+.
I haven’t tried to explore the gooogle plus since I am new on this stuff. I like how google tried to align the needs of their members and those people who are inclined to make a website and spread their feeds. Maybe I should check out if this guide will help me understand google plus concepts. Thanks for sharing the free pdf.
Until this time, I still haven’t try Google+, I still comfort with facebook 🙂
Can you mention the advantages using Google+? cause my friends still not moving on it
I’m glad there is someone who mightily created a quick guide to G+..
A lot doesn’t know about it, and for others, they find it not easy to use that’s why they never tried to sign-up.
Circles was the coolest feature I’ve ever experience in G+.
Google + is going to be flop.. It can over take Facebook..
Who would want to move to google +1 if facebook is a stable social networking site and have lots of apps and games? But we can never tell…
I must say that navigating through Google plus can be a little confusing. I guess we’re all so used to existing platforms like MySpace or Facebook. It’s good to see tutorials like this one. Thanks for sharing this.
I’m glad to reed this blog.It take me to the right space i’m looking for.Thank you!
i am using google + in my blog also.Its working
Hmm, in honesty I still think that the jury is out the Google+ system. I know that Google have the push and power to really put everything into it but it just doesn’t seem to have the interactive visibility of say, the facebook like button. I won’t judge it just yet (and I’ve started using it myself!) but I think that there will have to be a serious ‘cultural shift’ for it to become more than a low level fad. I think most people will say, “Google+ ? Nah, don’t need that. Got Facebook Like, Stumble etc.” So at best it will just become one more amongst so many. However, I haven’t read your ebook yet – so I’ll do that and see if subsequent experience changes my mind!

You’ve highlighted some wonderful points out here, Google+ is indeed a good way to keep in touch with our kith and kins along with the colleagues / corporate world.
i have a google + account. I love it. It hasn’t picked up or taken over like facebook did, but give it some time. You know that Google puts the best products out there, why should anyone think that this one will be different? Go Google…
I honestly think that Google Plus plans to be as beg as Facebook will never come to existence. I herd it has lots of publicity when they launch but the buzz has died down. I think their ‘create a profile only by invitation’ was a hook in the first place.
Sweet I love this…for some reason Google+’s more advanced options elude me, this helps. I can’t wait for when they let businesses on!
A few of my Facebook friends wanted to jump to G+, so this should be useful. I will give it a try, but as far as I read they are in trouble now, with a lot of their users becoming inactive.
After I’ve noticed the annoying changes at FB, I’ve started searching on how to properly use G+ accounts. Thanks for sharing this post, it’s very helpful. I would love to recommend this on my circles.
Once Google+ for business comes out, I think it’s game over for a lot of other social media sites.
Google+ is more sophisticated compared to other social media sites. Just give this a little bit more time and this will definitely climb up the ranks and attract more followers. It’s a nice way to share information and not annoying like FB.
Thank for you great tutorial. Worked like a charm on my Win box.
Tnx again!
Thanks for this information. i appreciate it
I’ve subscribed to your google guide and now i can’t wait to read it. I don’t have a google plus account but I’m thinking to expand my business using Social Media. I am familiar with Facebook, but I’ve heard that Google+ is superior in this matter, so now I collect as many information as possible. I’ll return with opinions about your guide.
Pretty much every business should have their own Google+ page. It is a great way for extra coverage. With every new client we get, creating a Google+ page is one of the first steps that are undertaken. Great pdf!
I started using google+ and to be honest i found it more complicated. But it’s good to see a tutorial like this. I’m sure it will me help to understand and to learn more about google+. Thanks for sharing this useful information with us.
Just lack of words ,thanks for all this sharings

Yes I want the guide, I’ll subscribe
Is Google + going to replace the Facebook fan page, or is it going to be just another social media tool to go for like Twitter, LinkedIn, and so on ?
After a while, people will spend more time socializing than actually work on their business. Where’s the balance ?
I gotta bookmark this informative site it seems handy very helpful for me.if u ever need medical transcription services then universal medical transcription is good.
The post is very informative and helpful for me.Thanks for sharing this information.
Google+ is really starting to take off. They’ve added a “What’s Hot” filter and you can create pages now for branding purposes.
It’s a bit overwhelming, all these social media sites – facebook, twitter, google+, etc.
But it’s keeps things fresh and fun.
