David Foster came from a construction background, but realized his body would fall apart. He started with building websites. He even created custom pages on MySpace. He launched Fan Page Engine and with the industry of the Facebook apps, he moved over to Google+ and is now working with GeekBeat.tv! Here are some nuggets from the interview with David Foster. Tool that posts from Google+ Tool to post from Google+ to Facebook, Twitter and/or Linkedin is Friends+Me. With Friends+Me you can control where the post is pushed to with a #hashtag. As a local business using Google+ links to Google Places. This can be a main place for potential customers to find you. Specifics to do on your Google+ Page:
How did he get circled by over 5,000 people in a very short amount of time?
Who is Google+ for? Any business who focuses their efforts there. If you focus there, you will see success. Commit to one and follow through. Set a schedule and stay consistent. It takes time to build it. But if you stay consistent, it will grow. Why is Google+ scary? So many facets, but it really is basic if you break it down and shut off some of the noise.
David is teaching people how to make Google+ a better experience with all the above. Circles makes it so organized. He is now with GeekBeat.tv. How did he find this gig? Google+, of course! Be sure to circle David on Google+.
