Action Plan Day 3 – Start Posting in Google+

Add 100-200 People to Your Circles through Thought Leaders – Go to the Profiles of the Thought Leaders you’ve been adding to your Circles and look at people who have those people in their circles. Now, start adding them to your circles. A good thought leader should have between 500 and 10,000 followers you can poach, but only add 100-200 per day to avoid coming across as a spammer.

Post Something Highly Relevant and High Value in Your Niche – Immediately after you add these people each day, add something highly valuable to your stream. It can be a link to one of your best blog posts or a free download of your newest report or a webinar recording you did a few weeks ago. Whatever it is, make sure it is the first thing on your Stream after you do your adds each day. You should do this every day for a few weeks now.

Supplement with 2-3 Posts Today – Add more content directly before you do this. Whenever you’re going to start adding people each day, post a few personal things on your Stream to keep it looking natural and then post your one super high value item.

Engage in 3-5 Conversations and Ask Questions – Look for conversations and questions you can become involved in on your streams. If someone asks particularly good questions or you find yourself interacting on their stream often, put them in a separate circle so you remember they are good to follow.

Share Anything Interesting You Find – If you find anything good during your exploits today, reshare it. Don’t be afraid to reshareanything you like. The beauty of Google+ is that you can now choose who to share these things with. Don’t want to share the redbandtrailer for a new movie with your family? Then don’t.

Start Splitting Your Lists Where Possible – As you notice trends in the people you follow (and especially in the people who follow you), start splitting your lists up more carefully.You want to have people broken up in a way that your messages have the greatest impact possible. That might mean 10 circles or it might mean 50.

If Someone Follows You, Follow them Back –If someone follows you, always follow them back, because this is the only way to send targeted messages through custom circles. Without custom circles, you cannot show them messages you’ve crafted for their particular viewing.
