ANALYSIS By Dorris Otieno Kenyan teachers are not only the best paid in East Africa, but also earn almost 12 times more than the country's average pay, a comparative study by Nation Newsplex and the Institute of Economic Affairs reveals. Even as teachers go on strike for the 12th time since their first industrial action in 1962, the analysis, which compares teachers' salaries in Kenya with those of their peers in select African countries , also finds that the lowest-paid teacher in Kenya earns more than the highest-paid teacher in Uganda. Uganda and South Africa were chosen as countries against which to compare wages of teachers because they have the most up-to-date data against which the comparison could be made. While Tanzania was not included in the comparison because only average pay for the year 2011 was available, even its figures indicated that Kenyan teachers earn more than their Tanzanian counterparts. The highest paid Kenyan teacher earns almost 12 times more than the...

Tips On How to Use Google Marketing for Businesses

-




Google is currently the largest search engine on the web, and has its own social networking platform known as Google +. With a Google profile, users can create “Circles” that include different types of contacts, and share content with specific groups while viewing content from users they follow in a “Stream”.

YouTube is a video sharing network owned by Google and integrated with Google +. Users can upload videos, share, comment on and vote for their favorites. Businesses or individuals can create channels which can be subscribed to by others who then receive notifications when new videos are posted.
Businesses need a Google Profile and YouTube account in order to share information to select groups of people, and tap into the power of visual digital media. Studies show that internet users respond more readily to images and videos than to solely text based content.
As Google now Owns YouTube they have become very integrated and businesses need  to treat them as a pair.
YouTube is the No. 1 Video Sharing site and according to Alexa.com it is the No. 3 website on the internet. A massive 53% of web traffic comes from YouTube. So it is not a site to ignore.

You can create your own YouTube channel. This will be a page like: http://www.youtube.com/dell Viewers can subscribe to your channel, which opens up a direct communication platform with them through the YouTube site
YouTube noted that the weekend of May 21st saw YouTube's daily views hit their highest number ever, over 3 billion views per day.. It is now the preferred way to receive information
Google+ is still one of the newer social media networks, but thanks to Google’s huge reach and massive user base from Gmail, YouTube, Google Docs etc. It is rapidly growing and becoming a contender for Facebook. Businesses are in dire need of someone to manage this platform for their social media marketing base.

Set Up

Setting up your G+ account on Google is simple – just click on the encircled area on the top right of your Gmail screen and choose the Google+ option.




You will then be taken to your Google+ page and a popup form will show. Fill out the form with your basic information to get started.






YouTube setup is even easier. Simply login to your Google account, and visit the YouTube website. You’ll be prompted to log in with your Gmail address and password, and automatically registered with YouTube.


Circles and Subscribers

On Google, your network is managed in Circles. You can add people to your circles, browse categories, and follow other people. Adding people to your circles is simple – you can either add them from your Gmail contacts, or by entering their email addresses.


                              
On YouTube, your network is made up of Subscribers. If you have a webcam, you can post videos of yourself offering helpful social media tips. If not, create a channel and favorite videos other people have made. Then promote your channel on your other networks so people will subscribe to it.



Establishing a Brand

Google and YouTube allow you to cross promote yourself and present a more visual face to your potential clients. Videos can be conversational, and your Google posts can be more relaxed than LinkedIn, although perhaps not as casual as Facebook. Don’t forget, what you post on Google+ and YouTube will be public, so always remember that future clients could be watching!

Google Content


 Posting on Google + is similar to any other social network. You can type your post then, add an image, video or link.


You can also add individual names or email addresses of people you want to see the post, or select the circles you wish to share the post with.
You can also start a “Hangout” which is like a chat room for people to gather in and have a real time conversation. (Joining Hangouts started by other people you follow or who are in your Circles is also a great way to get known on the G+ network!)
