On Google
Everyone's getting themselves out on Google+. That's good. Google loves you and your Google-fu will increase because of that. There is however another powerful way to give your fellow WA friends some more exposure. Don't just +1 a post, but share it if you think it's interesting. I've done it a few times.
For this to work you should also find real people to engage with. People who think you're interesting and will follow you. Those people will see your posts and the ones you share (kind of like Facebook but with the power of Google behind you).
Exempli gratia: (That's what e.g. stands for, did you know?)
This here post was "+1'd" 6 times. That's nice. (+1-ing is a new verb. Take note. ;-)
and it was shared once. (Of course, by me. ;-) How can you see this? By clicking on the images to the right of the "add a comment" part in the first image.
Sharing gives reach. +1 is nice, sharing gives exposure. Now guys, don't go running over to G+, adding loads of people and sharing everything you can find. That is not the way. That's forced behaviour, not organic sharing. It has to be natural. I share what I think could be interesting to people I know to be in my circles. Google+ is a social medium, not a sharing cannon. Be social about it. Who wants to see 14 posts about e.g. drones in their stream in one go? I can promise you that the first one might be read and the other 13 will be skipped because it's all drones. That is overdroning it. (I love wordplay, can you tell?)
Now go forth and multiply your posts. Share. +1. Drink coffee and tea. And most of all: enjoy it.
