Plus-One This: Proof That Google Plus Will Prevail

Plus-One This: Proof That Google Plus Will Prevail | DV8 Digital Marketing Tips and Insight | Scoop.it
Remember when Google Plus “flopped"? Well, it didn’t.

Firas Ghunaim's insight:

So what do you think??

 

99% of the people in Silicon Valley I’ve talked to about this, including some very, very bright folks with quite a bit of money and clout, will tell you that Google Plus flopped. They have, in their own minds, written it off entirely. The remaining 1%, while willing to consider that it didn’t flop, are still so tepid that they refuse to stake any credibility on saying it will be successful (which I would measure as having the same level/range of active users as the other big social networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.). Articles written by that 1%, like this one, are all chock-full of “mights” and “maybes.”

I'm still not convinced, but at this point, they don't really give us much choice do they? ~meh it's business.

Exactly - between G+ and Author Rank, we really don't have much choice...and yes, meh, it is all business :-)

I was about to scoop 10 Online Marketing Ideas For 2013 from Entrepreneur.com when they suddenly seemed so DOOMED (lol). Don't get me wrong Entrepreneur.com's list are all important trends, but few of the Small Businesses (SMBs) and Startups I work with will be able to execute the ideas on the list well enough to get back the money they cost (with some notable exceptions). 

I share 7 ideas any SMB or Startup can do and make money from in 2013 because they are not so well traveled. These ideas are CHEAP but not everyone and their brothers are executing these so the "stand out" value is greater.
