Action Plan Day 7 – Evaluate and Refine

Backup Your Google+ Data with Data Liberation – Once a week, backup everything on your profile with Data Liberation from your settings menu. This will allow you to keep all of your photos, posts, shares, and other data on your PC for future reference. It also ensures that if you delete your profile some day or Google (magically) goes under, you can access this information.
Install a G+ Badge or Button on Your Blog – Make sure you post a G+ badge or profile link on your blog and website so people can easily add you and interact with you from there. Show how many people have you in their circles and make a quick link of what they will gain by adding you to theirs.
Create Permalinks for Your Favorite Posts – If you’ve shared anything that really kicked butt or went viral, create a permalink for it in Google+ and share that link on your blog. Consider creating an archive of your favorite shares and posts on Google+ so people can quickly access a “best of” listing of your posts.
Install Chrome Extensions to Improve Performance – Review the list of Chrome Extensions in the eBook and add any that fit your needs. There are a lot of fun ways to upgrade and enhance your Google+ experience with Chrome – make sure to use them.
Review Interactions and ROI and Make Adjustments – See what you’re getting out of your posts by reviewing your Goo.gl or Bit.ly and Analytics data to see where your conversions are coming from. Did one post do better than another? Did you get a lot of traffic at a certain time of the day? Did people bounce like crazy from one particular link? Now’s the time to brainstorm why.
Consider New Ways to Improve Performance in Google+ - Never stop looking for ways to get more out of Google+. If you can think of something you wish it would do, there’s probably someone out there working on it.
Rinse and Repeat – This is just one week. You have months to come of growing your circles, building your reputation and showing the world that you’re worth following in Google+ as an early generation adopter. Use the tools I’ve given you to do just that, constantly add people to your lists and create a larger and longer list to work with as time passes.
