2. INCLUDE PICTURES!
If you’ve ever read a newspaper, you’ll
know that photos are often what draws
you into an article. It’s the same on
Google+ -- the eye is drawn to images
because they convey a rich variety of
information in a quick and efficient way.
Images that are both eye-catching and
relevant to the content you’re sharing are
best, but even a simple screen-grab of an
article can help improve engagement.!
3. START CONVERSATIONS!
Interacting with people who comment on
your posts is a great way to build your
Google+ presence. Firstly, it can help you
to build the relationships that make the
Google+ experience more meaningful.
Secondly, engaging people in dialogue
helps extend the life of your posts; every
time someone comments on a post, it
moves that post back up towards the top
of the Google+ Stream, so even more
people can see it. !
4. ASK QUESTIONS!
People love to share their opinions and to
feel useful. Asking questions is a great
way to inspire people to comment on
your posts, and helps to build stronger
relationships with your connections. It’s
also a great way to find new answers and
get fresh perspectives. In a similar way,
introducing content with your own
thoughts and opinions can be a great
way to start conversations that help you
learn more about people in your Circles.!
5. GO PUBLIC!
If you have content to share that you
think will be useful or interesting for a
broad audience, don’t be afraid to share
it as ‘Public’. Doing this can help you to
meet and connect with new people,
making your Google+ experience much
richer and more varied. Think of it as the
new way to blog!!
6. GIVE CREDIT!
If you want to post something that
someone else has created, or if you’re re-
hanks!
sharing something that you discovered
through someone else’s post, be sure to
‘+tag’ them in your post too. This is a +t
great way to show recognition and thank
the people who inspire you, and also to
build relationships with those individuals.!
