Do you run a business in East Lothian? Each month the East Lothian Coffee Morning runs a session focusing on how to effectively use web technologies to promote your business. This month it’s looking at Google+.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Businesses<\/a>
Businesses can set up their own Google+ pages though they look and behave very differently to Facebook.<\/figcaption><\/figure>The East Lothian Coffee Morning (ELCM) is a free and informal networking group that was originally set up to help local companies understand how they can get more business by using the Internet. It’s a mix of networking with other business people, presentations, workshops and case studies.<\/p>\n

Google+ is Google’s competition to Facebook and Twitter and it has been steadily gaining ground. It has over 500 million members and is growing but what exactly is it and how important is it to small businesses in East Lothian? This month ELCM is taking a look at what exactly Google+ is, what the main features are and how we can use it to help promote our business online.<\/p>\n

This month it takes place at The Golf Inn, Main Street, Gullane. As always, there will be informal networking over tea and coffee (for purchase) between 8am and 9am with the presentation beginning at 9am.<\/p>\n

The event is free to attend though to avoid disappointment you should register<\/strong><\/a> if you intend to go.<\/p>\n
