Interview with Q& A portion so make sure you are here LIVE to have all your questions answered Friday at 4 PM ET.

Google+ was down but everything is back in order.

It’s Official: Twitter and Facebook Do Nothing for Your Search Ranking

Most of us knew this already, but it’s now confirmed. Here’s the important follow-up question for business owners, brands, and anyone trying to make a name for themselves online:

Wouldn’t you rather spend time/energy on a social media presence that does help your search rankings?

Google+ FTW… again!

New pricing plans + unlimited FREE #FriendsPlusMe

Happy New Year 2014! Friends+Me evolved during the last year into a fully featured service that provides continuously increasing value to all its users and so the time has come to turn Friends+Me into a fully grown business.

We have decided to extend pricing plans and to offer unlimited number of reposts and every existing Friends+Me feature to everyone. This important step will allow us to provide so insanely great customer support and stable social broadcasting platform with great new features. Lets see our new pricing page https://friendsplus.me/#/pricing

Existing paying customers will be unaffected by the new prices and will continue paying at the price they originally signed up at. New pricing plans and new limitations will not affect them in any way unless they change their subscription.

There is a plan for everyone. Looking forward to your feedback.

The new FREE plan is absolutely amazing. Even though you will be able to connect only 2 more accounts, the number of reposts is not limited in any way and you will be also able to enjoy fully Bit.ly link shortener, reposts scheduling and delaying, even reposts from Google+ page.

Newly introduced PERSONAL plan is everything you need to promote your Google+ profile posts to other networks. It allows to connect up to 10 accounts without a Google+ page support. For $2 a month, it is a total bargain.

Other new plans, STARTER ($4/mo), BASIC ($8/mo) and PROFESSIONAL ($24/mo) are designed for users with more social accounts to manage and provide faster reposts and much more accounts to connect to your Friends+Me profile, including Google+ pages.

I Heart Friends+Me

I Heart Friends+Me
Google+ is quickly becoming my favourite social platform but one thing it doesn’t offer is a way to easily cross publish posts to other social networks.

While many of you will disagree with cross posting to other social networks, I believe that if you create content natively in one social network and cross promote it properly you have a good chance of reaching new and old fans enabling you to grow your audience.

Enter Friends+Me a Google+ tool that does cross channel promotion properly and best of all it’s absolutely free (but is so awesome, you’ll probably start paying for it)

If you would like to know why I love Friends+Me so much and believe you will too, you can read my full post here: http://bit.ly/1iY3zBM

Have you tried out Friends+Me? What are your thoughts on this Google+ tool?

Finding it difficult to update Google+ as well as your other networks?

Finding it difficult to update Google+ as well as your other networks?
Try Friends+Me

It’s my recommendation for this month! The thing is, you can’t ignore Google+, it’s going to be big this year. However with a lack of a API for Google+ profiles you can’t update it from the likes of Buffer or Hootsuite (yet). Even if you could, all networks work slightly differently with different maximum lengths of posts and ways of embedding images and links.

So, what about updating other networks directly from Google+? I’ve been playing with Friends+Me which lets you do just that. You can selectively cross post to other networks (Twitter, LinkedIn Profiles, Pages and groups, Facebook profiles, pages and groups) using hashtags. It supports almost immediate posting as well as a delay and scheduling (similar to Buffer).

I’m not in favour of “always on” cross posting, but with FriendsPlusMe you have complete control over what you want to share and not share and to which networks.

One of the things I am excited about is the fact that FriendsPlusMe supports multiple LinkedIn groups. I’ve maxed out the number of networks in my Buffer account (the Awesome Plan allows a max of 12 channels), but with FriendsPlusMe I can selectively cross post to as many LinkedIn groups as I like. If I add scheduling for each LinkedIn group I can decide what the maximum number of posts for each specific LinkedIn group is going to be- that’s important as I don’t want to overload each group each day and I don’t want the same post to be published on different groups at the same time.

As well as this, you could use the Chrome extension DoShare which allows you to schedule your Google+ profile posts. Using this you could schedule your G+ posts throughout the day, which in turn powers your whole social media empire.

I’ll still continue to use Buffer which I find invaluable. With Buffer I can cross post to different networks very easily, share important articles from feedly and also share to the niche social network AppDotNet.

Let me know what you think! Definitely interested in what Ian Cleary and Mark Traphagen think too!
