Anatomy of a Post
We’re going in…
You can unsubscribe from these …
But your audience will still get a notification….
•How to build your audience – posts and circles Always post to Public (this allows re shares and search)Anything not marked ‘public’ is private Also share with specific circles – these people will be notified TIP: Bring other people’s whole public circles into your circlesTIP: create a special circle just for your ‘engagers’ - people you don’t know who share and +1 your stuff. Share everything with them.
Build a relevant audience …
Share publicly…to be searchable
..and to enable re shares …
You can email everyone in your circles from G + …
Communities
Communities work really well if they are active and your topic is relevantBut there are rules and if you don’t follow them you’ll probably be ignored. Always read the ‘about’ post before you post anything.Always introduce yourself . It is best to do a lot of chatting and getting to know people before you hit them with your promotional post!Categorise your post – are you asking a question, introducing yourself or sharing something of value? Ask questions . A lot. Always reply to anyone who engages with you and tag (+1)_ them in your response, then they will be notified.
Communities are cool If you follow the rules…
Community posts are categorised…
And can be filtered…
Questions can get a lot of engagement…
And if you click on the little green icon top right of the post you can see who has engaged
TIP: You can then hover over people and add them to your ‘engaged’ circle
Circlecount
Circlecount is a great Chrome add on…
(You really need to be using Chrome for G + by the way)
Adding Circlecount gives you these cool icons …
…and is a really easy way to track post activity
(These are Google Ripples…)
This is another Google extension I don’t yet use it…
Although I am told its very useful…
