Google+ one year later

I have been on Google+ for more than a year now.  It was more fun before it opened up and anyone could join but not that much fun.  Google+ really did change my life.  Last year at this time business was slow for me.  This year it is much better.  I believe Google+ is the reason why home sales are up for me from last year.   After all it is the only thing about my business that I have changed . . .of course business was much better if 2006 . . but that doesn’t have anything to do with me or with Google+.  Heck Pinterest and Instagram were not even invented yet and Facebook was only open to those with a .edu email address. . . and it was a simpler time before the  Zillow zestimates caused the housing market to crash. . .I digress again . . please hang in there I do have  a point in here somewhere.

Amazingly I have not done much with my Google+ account.   Sometimes I “share” but not very often.  I know that Google+ is the future and now it is part of the past too.    I don’t know most of the 2,300+ people who have me in their circles and probably would not like them if I did because I am not a people person.  I do know some of the 197 people in my circles and  16 of them do not have real estate licenses and of those 16 there is only one who doesn’t have a spouse, neighbor or immediate family member who is a real estate agent.  I should probably let her know that I am a Realtor but she is already in 1021 real estate agents circles and I think she hangs with me because she sells photography books and classes and can tell that I need all the help I can get.

Google+ really is the perfect place for me.  I am not a people person and I rarely have to worry about interacting with anyone while I am on the site.
