Hi

    I haven't got a clue how you can monetize with Google+ platform, especially due to the lack of people using it.

        I saw that article too and I do see a lot of activity in my g+ streams. I like how easy it is to manage my circles so the people whose posts I most want to see standout over other posts. It means I don't have to waste time wading through noise. I'm excited to see how the platform changes over time.

        How can they not reach 100M users, they automatically integrated Google+ to people who sign up for Gmail.

        Having that many users does not mean that they actually use the service. If you've read the article, the author says:

        Anecdotally, of the people I know who have signed up for Google+ most did it out of curiosity and have since logged on rarely, if ever.
        Google also provided free internet connection in to Indian Google+ users.

        Google Is Offering Free Wi-Fi Internet To Google+ Indian Users !

        Why India?

        It's because India's population is around 1.2 billion.

    Google+ is not being used much for earning money as compared to its competitor Facebook ads.

    You can use Google+ to build up a list of contacts and then use other methods to send them to a Squeeze page or a special offer.

    I have also seen some people selling google+ contacts at cheap rates like they sell Facebook likes /fans.

    Google+ was a great idea. But in reality it's not something that interests me.

      You might find they reply with a cease or desist letter if you do that.

        Really???

        I have got tons of money from clients sitting in UK, Canada for facebook fan pages development!!!

        Before approaching them, make sure you have a few demos ready as well as you can use a video or a document like why is social media presence necessary for the business and what can a google plus business page do for you???

        Once I usually get a client for custom facebook pages development, I upsell them my google plus services and so on!!!
        If you still have doubts, get in touch , I will show you proofs of my earnings and clients!!!

    Actually there was a post of how someone built a list of Google+ contacts and later marketed a high-end product to them and made bank. So I suppose that's the way to go with G+.

    I haven't tried that yet though.

    The only way people I know personally are earning from Google + at this point is by creating business pages and then selling them to local businesses. It just takes a short amount of time to create the page and some companies are willing to pay a decent amount for them.

      Wow I'm surprised companies are willing to pay for that, considering it only takes a few minutes to setup!

    You can't earn money directly from Google +. But the traffic that comes from Google + can give money as long as they're targeted traffic.

    Most business pages doesn't also earn money directly from Google +. They just promote their offers there.

      You absolutely spot on...Google + can end your search and display the best results from your research, which is good for you, it has a potential signal, which also improves quality and gives you a good search experience useful and safe. It is a great development and strongly recommended in the world of social networks.

    If they get an influx of users, you'll see more trying to monetize it. If Facebook sticks every users with their timeline (aka bad myspace theme) pages and their 7 days or it becomes public policy. I think it's going to get them in some hot water and it could spark a good number of people to look for an alternative like Google +. But for now Facebook is king. Google + needs to show they can give a better experience and more security when linking to family and friends as well as offer all the top social network games which is a big part of the traffic these sites generate.

    People will monetize Google + more and more in the coming year or two. Right now there are some opportunities.... Just like there are tons of ways to profit from your facebook site, there will be more and more ways to profit from Google + as innovative marketers figure it out. Of course, if you lead the wave instead of ride the wave, you will be much better off.

    Right now, Google + is a huge asset in developing your internet brand. I get more interaction from 200 people there than I can from 11,000 followers on Twitter. Working with Google + will certainly boost any search engine rankings. You will be able to forge relationships there that will help future marketing efforts.

    I have recently started with Google + for some websites... haven't grown the circle Bigger yet.... will be working some week ends on it and then will try to monetize it... One of my friend runs a blog and he started off with the Google + some what around 2 months back and now he is getting more traffic than Facebook from Google +. Actually the niche he is targeting has grown quite well on Google +....

    I've been trying to use Google+ but it's like talking to myself in an empty hallway. I liked the idea of building a business page for a company and selling it, though - very clever and a great way to make some money from Google+ before people actually start using it.

    I really didnt have a clue how g+ can make money, it has definitely not taken off like other social platforms, any service to be successful has to have dedicated users and g+ certainly doesn't

    Fraser Cain (I can't remember the exact spelling) who runs Universe Today made a post on one of his sites about how important Google Plus is in his strategy, and he has quite a bit of success.

    I am finding it is a great way to target people a number of niches at the same time keeping your posts specific to each niche circle. I also love the way you can checkout each individual stream. Like mentioned above offering a circle with specific invite only information is a great way to monetise G+ and it is something I am looking into.

  • Oh there are going to be a lot of people making money through GPlus,
    and Gplus Pages over the coming months and years.
    Notice I said through.

    Unless you sell a service around GPlus you are not going to "make money" off of Gplus.
    Now can you send traffic to your offers? without a doubt!
    Can you build a brand and a following?
    You BET!

    If you understand how to manage your circles you would be surprised what kind of traffic you can get from GPlus.

    We discuss building business pages for GPlus in our new product release coming out soon.
