I Was Becoming Complacent. I decided to experiment with Google +.

What did I learn?? Get on the ball Lenn!! You know what you need to do!!! ActiveRain makes it very easy to synergize your blog posts. Google makes it easy to get the Google Juice.

Hi Lenn - I need to get busy with that too - Google+ and YouTube should be at the top of my list, because why wouldn't I go directly to the source?

Dick. Agreed. YouTube isn't on my list but Google surely is.

Kathleen. This is important Google Juice. Photo and all. I love it. I had a buyer tell me that they called me because I look so friendly in my little photo.

Debbie. That is a FACT.

Hi Lenn, Google+ is just too much trouble. Everything else logs in automatically, but Google+ requires me to log into my account manually and they don't like my normal passwords so I have a diificult password for them. They need to make the process easier.

Bill. I just like having my little photo show up on SERP.

If I post a blog post on AR, the link is already there and original content is just a few words.

I'm fine with it.

Lenn, I too must reinvent myself an use Google+. The problem I find is there are so many apps to explore and too little time...

It only seems like Friday!

Paul. I'm not one for apps. I just want my little photo on the Google serp.

Gene. HA! I need to know how to use everything better. That said, I do what I'm motivated to do.

One more thing to do...but I get stuck in doing the same things over and over and eventually the world will pass me by if I don't keep up.

So is the secret to push the buttons at the top on every post I don't get it. I wish I could afford to hire someone to do all this so I can go back to doing what I love selling homes

Good morning Lenn. Not sure I would consider it complacent, but rather your next step in the social media world. I will get there at some point.

Make it a great weekend!

Gayle. I focus on the Google + and the Facebook link.

Charles. The Google + and Facebook are my focus.

Joe. I only referred to myself as being complacent. I wouldn't judge others.

I don't know how I missed this post, but so glad you are doing this. I'll go check out your posts and give you some plusses.

As you know, G+ is great for SEO. My posts get indexed instantly here and original tends to do well. And, the picture leads to higher click through rate. I'm also finding more instances of multiple places on the page.

I'll add you to my priority circle. Bill Gassett is a master, if you want to learn from one of the best on G+.

Debbie. Bill Gassett is the person who turned me on to Google + over a year ago.

It's just a matter of priorities. I often get a post up and forget the little icons at the top, especially when they don't want to recognize my username and password.

I'm going to try to remember it more.

Thanks. Lenn

It all confuses me....I'm connected and add people to circles and such, but I'm not really sharing posts there or spending time there like I do here. It's on my list too....but like you said, there is only so much time!

Lenn: The best way to play in a Google world is to get active on G+. As Debbie G. mentioned it has tremendous SEO benefits.
