Having a long term approach for your Google Plus network

Instead of thinking I hope someone shares my post
Think: Who's post can I share?

Instead of thinking How can I get people to my profile?
Think: What discussion can I get involved with?

We attract what we need by giving what we need to others.


It is easy to get hung up on wanting instant results and fast growth when trying to create a network of readers. A better approach is to remember that you have some time to put in before things take off. For example if you accept that you will post at least one thing a day and share one thing, plus comment on 3 people's posts then after 3 months you would have created 90 posts and reached out to 270 people.

Never quit and be persistent and consistent. Success in any endeavor usually appears to happen overnight but in reality it was the collective culmination of all the tasks you performed to get to that point. When you allow yourself a period of time to get results you no longer approach tasks with a sense of urgency. Urgency only breads stress.

If you are just starting out, and no one seems to be reading your content just remember that you are creating a history of activity. One day after what seems like an endless period of being ignored, just one key person with share one of your posts and then a momentum will kick in.
