Need more followers on Social Media (Google Plus)

The more people you follow, the more people will notice you or your company.

In social media, there are some unwritten rules of etiquette. One of these rules is the follow-back etiquette. If someone follows you, you follow them back. If later you find them uninteresting, you can always unfollow them. So don’t be afraid to do the first step. Find relevenat people and companies and follow them. To find people whom you can follow, check the suggestions. 

Find the most trending topics and start commenting on them. Google plus has a section called What’s Hot, where you can find what’s popular at the moment.

When you comment on or share about the most popular topics, there are more people engaged in the conversation and you have more chance to grab someone’s interest and get followed. So you need to comment on and share popular posts.

It is very important that you use hashtags in every post you make.  But they must be relevant to your posts.  This way when people who are interested in the topic hashtagged search for posts about the topic, will see your posts, which increases the possibility that you get followed.

Use the ripple section on Google Plus to see what people share and post. Find influencers in your niche and start following them. If they follow you back, you have a big chance to get more followers.

Besides this, you have a chance that some of them will share your content and people will learn about you or your company. Also it’s a good idea to tag them. You will appear on their timeline which will be advertising for you.

To how many people your post will reach mostly depends on what time you post. As the time zones and audiences are different, you may start using Timing+ application, which will help you figure out what is the best time to post for your audience.

Include the links to your Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and Google+ profiles or their QR codes in your business card.

You can also add the links to your email signature. 

If you have your own blog put your profile link there.

If you have followers on various social media platforms, it means there are some people interested in you. Share the link to your, for example, LinkedIn profile on other social media platforms so that people following you on other platforms know that you’re available and active also on LinkedIn and start following you there as well. Do it for all your social media accounts. Promote their links on other social media platforms.

The more you spread your link, the more people will start following you.

Don’t be afraid to ask people to start following you or your company profile on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Google + and Pinterest. You can use a CTA (Call To Action). You can write “Please follow me/us to…” and add a sentence or two why people should follow you. For example, you can announce special offers exclusively on social media platforms. 

Add Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Google + plugins to your blog/website. This way you will direct your website visitors to your social media profiles and hopefully you will gain new followers.

Post exclusive, interesting, engaging and useful posts. Keep being interesting to your followers! And remember to post regularly. If people don’t see interesting content from you for a long time, they will unfollow. 

Use relevant keywords in your Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and Google + bio or about section to help Google and other search engines index your page. Use the keywords in your posts, description of posts. Your page will be easily found through search engines and you will get better chance for being seen and followed by your niche.

Photos and videos are 40% more effective in terms of engagement than text. So try posting videos and photos and deliver your message through short descriptions accompanying them.

It would be even better if you could post videos and photos made by you or your company. More engagement, more followers.

People won’t like your page and follow your profile if you share uninteresting posts.  Write interesting and engaging posts. Be sure to know what the trending topic in your niche is. Write your opinion about it or share something (an article, photo, video etc.) relevant to that topic. Keeping your page and profile content interesting will increase your page likes and followers.

Start commenting on others’ posts. Write thoughtful comments and be ready to answer if someone replies to you. It will help you raise interest in your page or profile. More people will see and visit your profile/page and you can gain more followers.

Some studies show that short posts are more engaging and readable than long ones. That is why you need to write short. For example, experts advise using maximum 100 characters in a tweet.

One of the most shareable contents is infographics. So create your own infographics and share them on your wall. People will share your infographics, their friends will notice your profile/page and start following you.

You can use Infogram to create infograhics.
