No More Websites!

Published November 8, 2011 | By Elaine Lindsay

So as of yesterday, Google+ rolled out brand and business pages. I’m thrilled. I’ve been waiting for this since the start of G+.
I like the setup and the slight changes from the G+ profile pages…

The business pages have a few less areas of real estate to be cultivated, not as many places to add bits but the photos are the same array and there are videos, hangouts and the great new badges should you choose to maintain a website or blog.

With Facebook pages and now the Google+ pages it begs the question do you still need a website? Do you need a blog? We now have the ability to create long (up to 5000 characters) posts on both Google Plus and Facebook. The ease with which you can add photos and video right into your stream, makes me think Google+ is a bit ahead in the running to capture the business community in full.

So go get your Google + Page NOW

Facebook Fan Page SSL for Welcome Pages

If you are like me and every other internet marketer who does “Welcome Page” Facebook Fan pages for clients, the news of Facebook going all “SSL-Only” on us really freaked you out.

All those clients who you have setup – what a nightmare – you have to explain to them what’s going on, you have to ask them to pay more (either to you – or their host), you may have to move them and you have a fast coming-up deadline of October 1st.

It’s an Internet Marketers NIGHTMARE I tell ya!
