Users of Google plus can now market their articles to their G+ circle of friends directly from their blog sites or websites dashboards or control panels where they create their awesome, inspiring and interesting columns or articles. However, this method will work well if they are running their own blog sites or websites and their Google+ accounts have already upgraded to Google+ Followers and is visible on their blog sites or websites landing page.
If you were on your blog site at blogger.com - go to your control panel and look for "Layout". When you opened layout - you see add gadgets and open it - and then look for the gadget "Google+ Followers" click it and save it. And then view your blog - you will see that the gadget already appeared on your blog. But this upgrade will work if you're already a Google+ registered member.
On this article, I will show you the method on how to share the article directly to my Google+ followers following instructions from Google+ team. This is my first attempt to maximize the use of G+. This method is good if your intention is to share your stuff to people you are directly connected with on Google plus. This means that the more people connected to you on Google+, the bigger the possibility that your G+ friends would read the column and visit your blog site because at the time the article or column is published, it would also appear on their Google+ account landing pages. This is legal and in accordance with Google+ policy.
Below is the mechanic how this method will work:
- First determine what title to use for your column and write it down on the title section.
- Write again the title of your column as the opening sentence of your article summary or description.
- At the end of the title add "+". Example: "The Rumored Doomsday was Over and It is Worth Remembering+".
- Adding "+" and the first letter of your G+ friend's name at the end of your article title, the names of all your Google+ followers will appear - click the name of your first choice and it will be added. Add again the "+" sign to add another follower.
- Every time you added the "+" sign, the names of your G+ circle of friends will appear and it is up to you if you will add them all.
- If your intention is to share your article to all your Google+ friends you can do so. But remember this application will work only if you're already a registered G+ member and the Google+ Followers gadget is activated on your blog.
- Now assuming that you already done adding your G+ friends - proceed now writing the article summary or description down to the last paragraph of your article body. If there are photos or video that you like to add on your column - add them too including some related articles with their permalinks.
- And then determine your post settings: labels or tags of your article or column, schedule, permalink, location and other option found on the right side of the editorial section.
- And before sending your column to publish mode - you should have to preview it first - to check the proper layout, settings, spelling and grammar errors.
- After the preview and you are sure that everything has done - go back now to the original draft and hit publish. View your blog now. At the time your article is published on your blog site - it is also the time that your article will appear on your G+ friends account landing pages.
This method of marketing or sharing of your article to your G+ friends was done directly from your editorial section on your blog site's dashboard in accordance with the policy of Google+. I just hope that the above information will be useful to others who have their own blog sites at blogger.com or people running their own websites. Again thank you for your time.
