Yes, I'm on Google+. No, I don't really have a clue what I'm doing there yet.
Okay, maybe I've got the basic idea. Not enough to blog about it yet. I haven't put in the time to explore.
But one of my favorite caffeinated bloggers created a fantastic free guide for us! I downloaded my copy and can't wait to jump in and learn more. There's not even an opt in required - just click and save. How cool is that?
Get your free copy of "An Introduction to Google+" here:
Propabranda's Google+ Guide
If you want to connect with me on Google+, here I am: https://plus.google.com/102493271580185815483
Have you got G+ all figured out? I'd love it if you'd share a tip or two in the comments below!

This should be a great read. Sure is better than just hitting the button without really knowing what it is doing and the benefits it should bring.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the guide, Michelle! Like you, I want to do a post on Google + but I need to explore more . . . so no tips to share yet!

Leanne, my only tip right now would be: "How to add a profile photo to your G+ account" LOL I did get that done.

Yeah … I've done that much, too. I managed to add my photo. And I haven't been back since. :) Traci's guide couldn't have (magically) appeared at a better time than NOW. Thanks!

Michelle,
I could use a good guide. I feel like i have been on a learning curve from….and something simple would be nice.
Thanks for the invite. Hopefully the new guide will give me the incentive to get in and get this one done.

I haven't even touched my toe in the water. I have too much on my plate at the moment :) I hear good things and bad things. I also heard that you must have an invite in order to join. Strange.
I'm sure one of these days I'll take the plunge. lol

You are absolutely right — that's in the guide. I've also included a handy plugin for WP users that will enable your site visitors to add you to G+ right from your blog. :-)

Like Leanne …
I'm tip-less on Google+ at the moment …
Not to mention clueless. :)
Michelle and Traci — thank you for this info!

You're welcome, Melanie, and you're in good company.
Thank you for the guide. I know I'm late to Google+ but I'm about to dive right in.
I have a question though.
Do I make one central google+ profile or would any of you suggest I make an account for all my niches? Kids exercise, baseball, etc?

Hey Jeff, I'm totally late in replying to this so you've probably got it figured out. My approach would be one account but with circles for each interest group so you can share specifically with those interested in each topic.
