Google+ (aka Google Plus), a social media website launched by Google Inc is getting great response from people all over the world. And it is truly being accepted that a great number of people are migrating from Facebook towards it. The most important reason of shifting and switching towards Google Plus is its fast speed and creating different circles for different social purposes. Moreover there is no issue of privacy & scamming like in Facebook has recorded in Google+ yet. So, this seems to be one of the greatest benefit that Google Plus is enjoying. Here, in this column I am going to share top tips and hints for new users, who recently joined Google+ and looking for some guide.



List of Google+ Tips:

#1:
Stick Enough Info With Your Google+ Profile:

The first and the most important tip when starting a new life with Google+ is to fill up your complete info because when you're new at Google Plus and people hover over your profile you're just a "stranger" with very little info. So rush & edit your profile and fill up outline. You must fill up your nick name and in employment section select the first "employer name" box for your bio so that your profile looks pretty awesome as shown in the picture here.

Give thumbs up to the innovative fact and option in Google+ of creating multiple circles as per your need. You can organize your content with creating circles on your profile. With this option, there could be get two important advantages;

  • You could share links, post and other data to a particular circle(s).
  • You could create empty circles, where you could save links, columns, videos, data and other stuff which you want to read later without annoying your followers. To me, this is the best feature with which I don't need any word and note pad where I used to save my data.
