Not getting the interaction from #GooglePlus influencers you think your efforts warrant? Here's (probably) why» Awesome overview of how to share someone's content to garner the best engagement, whilst observing #GooglePlusEtiquette from Jenny Melrose. h/t Stephan Hovnanian ( #stephanhovprotip ) In summary, this is how you should share a G+ post for the best engagement: Before hitting the share button: • Plus One the post (you gotta like it if you're gonna share it, right?); • leave a relevant comment on the post you're going to share, tagging (Plus-Mentioning) the person who shared it.
