I know, kind of a cryptic title but It does reflect what I am thinking about. I am going to assume that most people would like to have a few more people reading their posts, right? Well we all like to have people read us, like us and essentially follow us.
Sometimes it just does't seem to happen very fast. Some of you might be here on Google+ just to connect with a few friends and family and if that is you then welcome! We love you too. The rest of this post however is dedicated to those who really do care about their follower counts and want toincrease their Google+ network.
Rule #1 Size Matters ... NOT
It is all too easy to think the number of your followers matters when in fact it is only a small part of your online presence. People with small networks of people can often wield more influence that those with thousands of readers. It all comes down to the quality of your contacts. This is why people who already have a large following are always on the look out for new contacts. (see rule 2)
Rule #2 No one is unapproachable
The people you admire are not in some unapproachable ivory tower forbidding you entrance. If you need someone's help, ask for it. We all love to give our opinions on things. Successful people are real people and no decent human being is going to shut you out unless you are breaking rule #3,
Rule #3 Focus on the sharing
Simply put, just start sharing what you know with the community. It does not matter if anyone is reading it now or not. You are building up your futue credibility so when people are deciding if they should follow you they can see a history of your posts.
Be excited when you get just one awesomely successful person you admire to comment or respond to your comment.
