like Twitter and Facebook, but an identity platform that works with Google to connect across all our different devices and web services for e.g Google Authorship
• Headlines: The more users notice your G+ page the more they will engage

blog. What makes this so powerful is when visitors leave a comment, they are given the option of sharing your post to their own Google+ followers. This can greatly increase engagement among these users and their followers.
Provide users with Value
• call to actions: Know what results you want before you share something
• if you are going to upload a picture to Pinterest or Instagram you would first know that my image needs to invite clicks. Your objective is to upload an image that grabs attention and gets viewers to want to learn more, so they click on the image which leads them back to a landing page on my website.
• if You wanted to post a tweet on Twitter Your objective might be to provide value in front of thousands of people. So I might offer a suggestion or solution by replying to a tweet when someone has a question or is reaching out for ideas. By doing this I would be creating trust by offering value not only to the person I replied to but all of his followers too.
You don’t need to be everywhere.
• be where your audience is.
• don’t try to be everywhere / go where your audience is
• Be regular!
• listen / engage
• Share from one to three posts a day
• better to do less nothing
Understand and then produce your content• Each social media platform has a different tune or its own
unique fundamental best practices.
• For example, you would not post the identical piece of content to LinkedIn that you would on FaceBook. LinkedIn has a more professional atmosphere and FaceBook is a platform where you can get away with publishing less than professional-like content.
• Similarly If your business had a YouTube Channel…. you’d probably tend to produce a video according to your business Niche, provide a catchy caption with your link on it.
For Healthfirms informative videos with better visuals work, with a video cover clearly indicating the treatment with the link to your website
Keep Your Social sharing Content Simple•Think of it rather as micro-content – tiny,
unique nuggets of information, humor, commentary, or inspiration that you can re-imagine every day, even every hour.
•make it visually appealing.•make it relate-able.•make it memorable•share-able• It should be viral /have a broader reach
