Hangout on Air Archives | Digital Dental Photography

An Introduction to Dr. Charles Payet and Google+

I started on Google+ in the beta stage and was one of the first dentists to have a Brand Page. Google+ is my favorite social media platform, and during this Google Hangout On Air Series we will be covering the basics of how Google+ is different from other platforms, and why you need to be different here and what can you expect for your practice, and over what time. Through this series, my goal is to give the viewers and fellow Dentists a deeper understanding of Google+ and a solid foundation to get started on the platform.

Each week will feature a different Google+ expert [Sept 6th – Nov 8th]. For the full line up, please go here ➤http://bit.ly/GPlusLineUp

How Google Plus relates to Google Adwords and Google Search
Martin will talk about re-marketing to people who visited your website, holding their attention and maintaining a relationship across the web.

Have you ever wondered about Google+, the social layer of search, as Google calls it? Maybe you’ve read a number of news stories on TechCrunch, Gizmodo, or other sites that keep reporting that it’s a “ghost town?” Perhaps you’ve actually tried setting up your Profile and even a Page for your dental practice, only to have no idea what to do next? How do you find people to Circle in your Community? Get them to Circle you back? How is Google+ similar to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and how is it different? If these questions sound familiar to you and you want answers, your opportunity is finally here.

A Star-Studded Line-Up of Social Media Marketing Experts

On Monday, August 18th, I will be announcing a Schedule and Line-up of Social Media Marketing Experts, the likes of which has never before been seen in dentistry. Starting on Saturday, Sept. 6th 2014 at 1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, this will be at least an 8-week series of Google+ Hangouts on Air, which are like live video webinars. Each will last about an hour, and each will feature one or more experts in a particular aspect of Google+, from Pages to Profiles, from Local Pages vs. Brand pages, web apps, training programs, coaches, and more. I will be hosting each Hangout on Air (HOA), and following each one, they will be posted on my YouTube account for people to view again later at their leisure.

For more information, please follow the embedded Google+ post below and COMMENT that you are interested (yes, you must have an active Google+ profile to comment and participated). And look for the big announcement next Monday!
