SEO and Content Marketing Series
Google+ for Authors and Bloggers
You want to increase your website traffic and sell more eBooks – that’s a given. So how do you do it?
The answer’s with an effective content marketing campaign. And by effective I mean one that gets your site’s content out there without angering moderators and getting you kicked out of social media groups.
You also need a social network that gives you engagement, not just a few likes on a page and nothing else. Google+ is that network, one that allows you to grow and learn and improve yourself. Those are all things you need to increase sales and drive traffic.
This book lays out how you as an author or blogger can get started with Google+ and increase your followers quickly. That means more eyes on your book or your blog…and hopefully both! It's all here, updated and current for late-2014, and ready to help you succeed.

I read this book while sitting close to the computer so I could keep on checking out the things Greg was referring to on Google+. Like another book on Google+ plus that I read recently this one further enthused me for using the site and getting the best out of it.
Greg is a realist; he doesn't say miracles will happen overnight on the site, but he does confirm that the way to get the best out of it is to be engaged with other users. Just posting stuff and hoping for the best isn't the right approach, and will mostly get you ignored. I've found myself that the more I comment on posts and other comments that arise the more I find people interested in what I'm interested in, and the more we become each other's followers.
Google+ can be overwhelming, especially if you join groups left, right and centre. That's an option, but you'll quickly get sick of the pile of stuff floating up your news feed. Take Greg's advice and get your followers into circles, ones that you can readily identify, and keep adding them.
Another thing that clicked for me while reading the book was the way in which you can post to certain groups but not others. I'd tended just to send everything out to the world, but that's about as useful as joining everything. Focusing, by using the circles, is something Google+ does very well. Facebook, increasingly, is telling you what you want to see (my wife find we see different things off the same feed, one using the iPad, one using the computer) and this is frustrating. Google+ treats you as an adult and lets you make the decisions.
This isn't a long book (I read and used most of it between last night and today) but it has some useful advice and helps for Google+ users. Google+ is enormous, has all sorts of things that you might not find without an expert on your case, and can be annoying. This book will definitely help.
