description: Circles are how we organize the people we are connected to on Google+. However, the word "organize" brings a high level of personal preference, no matter what you are organizing. Circles are no different, which is why doing a search for "circle management techniques" on Google+ will yield such a diverse list of ideas, resources, tips, and strategies. Enough to make your head spin.  Circle management is one of the more complex facets of Google+, and should be an ongoing part of a business or personal brand's strategy. In this book, I will focus primarily on how to make the best use of Google+ circles, which you can then apply to strategies that meet your own needs.  YOU WILL LEARN: - Basic circle management techniques (adding, moving, deleting) - Where to find people to add to your circles - Must-have circles for businesses - How to build "opt-in" circles - Strategies and benefits for sharing circles with others - Using circles to effectively manage your Google+ home stream - Expanding Google+ circles into Customer Relationship Management - Tools that help you manage your circles  IMPORTANT: This is not a basic how-to book. There are links inside to Google+ official help resources to give you the mechanical understanding of circle basics. However, based on reader feedback from the first book in this series, special care has been made to add clearer instructions where applicable. Thank you to everyone who provided that feedback, we all appreciate it.  BONUS: Inside, I have included links to two circles that I shared on Google+ to get you started. The first is a circle of professionals who are fluent in many areas of Google+, and post predominantly about Google+. If you are looking for a go-to starter resource, this is it. The second is a circle of people I call "conversation hosts" because they post about a variety of topics, and have a diverse audience who actively welcomes discussion. If you are having trouble finding people to interact with on Google+, there may be members in this circle that can help. Hop onto one of their posts and join in their discussions.
