@Rebecca Carter Hi there… sadly, G+ is the boyfriend I’m just not attracted to. My clients aren’t there… and their customers certainly aren’t. So they can market to the hardcore G+ users, but it’s still a desert. Of course I make sure G+ is a part of their strategy, but I don’t trust Google’s numbers on activity in their because they’re tricky.I’m spending more of their time on Pinterest, Twitter, and niche networks, and waiting patiently for the new MySpace to get out of beta to see what’s up with that.

In case it hasn’t been mentioned yet – no time to read through 96 comments! – I would highly recommend starting to use Google+ to reach out to potential customers as well. Don’t bombard G-plussers with advertising in your posts, just become a presence on that network so you’re seen and known.

Out of love with Facebook and in love with Google+

Just like pennyfox…whew! I thought I was the only one who had reservations about Facebook. Yes, I admit I do have a Facebook page for my website, I’d be foolish not to include this in my social media marketing plan but it’s not my main tunnel of sharing content and most of my time is on my website keeping my content fresh. In a way, your post helped me realized I’m taking the right approach. : )

Nothing against Facebook, it’s a great social media venue but I had trouble buying into it at first. I don’t even have a personal page, never have but I know what it can do for a small business. I enjoyed your post and looking forward to reading more! Have a great day.

@SharonBautista Sharon, I’m also a singer/songwriter/musician. But because I work in PR & digital communications, I’ve been watching the MySpace resurrection rumours for a while, with mounting interest.
I have a feeling that if/when the ‘new’ MySpace gets its act together there could well be a surge in interest in it. I think a combination of nostalgia (a bit like the sentiments you’ve expressed) and a desire from many people for an alternative to Facebook (burn all the people who say Google+ is a Facebook alternative, it isn’t).
I’m not the only person expressing this view – about MySpace making a genuine comeback. No, it’s not obvious, it might not even be likely. But there are a lot of indicators there that it might be on the cards.
IF MySpace gets itself together. :)
