G+ NETWORK - NETWORKING FOR YOU

It is easy for me to forget that growing at a rate of 100 people on average a day, that some of you may not know about the G+ Network.

The following is a link to a list of all the links for the G+ Network

+Scott Bae is a friend I met on G+, and he was looking for a job. I was so disappointed that I didn't know how to help him in his regional area. At the time I had around 8K followers, and though how is this useful if we can't harness and target who we need?

This was the birth of the G+ Network. In almost every city in the United States we have a Chamber of Commerce. Our Chamber of Commerce is different than the ones in Europe. They are not government entities. In fact, some European Countries will not accept certain documents from the US without a Chamber of Commerce seal on it. What they don't realize, is that the Chamber of Commerce here is a volunteered paid membership. They are not government. That little fact always blew my mind (yes I work with imports and exports from time to time).

Chamber of Commerce in the US, and other voluntary memberships have been on a steady decline, with the personal citizen centralization happening to many humans today. I wanted a virtual chamber of commerce, and this is the G+ Network. It is a place for people to meet who live in the same corner of the world, and be social. Get to know each other, develop relationships, and always be prepared for a call to action. Simple.

Each community (60 around the world) has its own moderator(s) who run the community. They have a lot of leverage to customize the community. They also network with the other community moderators, so we can use the buddy system to help each other out.

I know this sounds all well and good, but what does this mean for you, and why should you be involved? Well after you take away to good feelings and personal growth . . . we can focus on money. Yes money! By being an active member in a community designed around old fashioned networking, you are building your team for Google+ and ultimately for your brand.

+Jeffrey Tobian is a perfect example. He owns his own carpet cleaning service, and wants to be a positive force in his community. He has created his own "international trade organization" for fellow carpet cleaning professionals. He encourages them to be members of their local G+ Network. Building relationships with people through these two communities will help his website, blog, and exposure. I know when I need carpet cleaning services I will ask Jeff for his advice. He will refer me to someone in  my area, and everyone wins! When Jeff needs help with computer support, he may call on me, and I can refer him to someone in his area. Everyone wins. We do this all for free. We believe in a team approach to social media, and we have the structure to do it.

The G+ Network would like to partner with your trade organization. Just let us know you would like to partner with us!
