Here’s the breakdown:
- 15 minutes – Interact with engagers: As you spend time on plus, identify the people who plus one, comment, or share your content. Put them in a circle so you can track THEIR shared content, and spend some time every day liking, commenting, and sharing their content. This will in turn encourage them to return to your page to do the same for you.
- 15 minutes – Interact with influencers: These are the high-powered plus users with lots of shares, followers, and profile views. It may require a lot of small actions or them to notice you. Add them all to a circle, spend time on their content on a daily basis, and plus one, comment, and share their posts so you can get on their radar. Eventually you can get to know them and develop a direct relationship.
- 15 minutes – Post in Communities: Visit popular, active communities and post content. Don’t just share your own content or curate articles. Spend some time connecting with others, answering questions, and interacting with other active community members.
- 15 minutes – Share Trending Content: If all you’re doing is sharing blog content, your progress will be slow. Go to the “Explore” tab, and then spend time on the “What’s Hot” tab and trending hashtags. Reshare some of the content found, including funny gifs and beautiful images. Add the people that appear in What’s Hot into a circle that you can later use as part of your curation strategy.
If you spend an hour a day following this strategy, you WILL see your profile grow. Your followers, profile views, and engagement will increase until you establish yourself as an industry authority.
