There is a growing trend happening in the Google Plus community that is making it difficult for aspiring content creators and curators to be seen and noticed by their readers.
Solution: Better circle management
To the user who wants more followers or just wants to actually be read:
- Help your users organize their content streams so they will see you!
To the avid reader tired of sifting through irrelevant content posts:
- Help the people you follow to get your quality attention at the right time
_This is just a short introduction post to give readers an idea as to where I am heading in this series. I have been putting a lot of effort into this subject and hope this and subsequent articles will be helpful. Rather than wait for all my notes to be edited and finalized I decided to start publishing in small chunks.
Reasons Why Circle Management Is Necessary
By organizing your circles effectively you are able to see what you need and at the right time you need it. By having your content professionally organized you are ensuring that you do not get distracted, you do not miss important updates and you do not get a headache from information overload.
* How Organizing Your Streams Helps the Community*
It is my belief that it is our responsibility and duty to organize our circles so that the community as a whole can benefit. What do I mean by this?
By effectively organizing your content streams you will ensure that you are still able to follow new people tomorrow, next week and next month.We all need readers so think about how your efforts to organize will help others to be able to share with you effectively.
Organizing Circles by Topic Alone is Not Enough
As we see in the list of four functional aspects above, organization goes far beyond simply sorting by subject. The only exception to this rule is if you are not looking for more followers and if you do not want to engage with others. If you are just here to share with a small network of people then this lesson is not for you.
In the next lesson we will cover some advanced circle structures that take into consideration things such as posting frequency, relational correspondences and functional uses of circles such asfor learning, for networking and for communicating.
