Be Your Village Town Crier

What do you do to support your village?

Your village is all of the people in all of your circles. If you have been on Google+ for a while those people can range in the hundreds, if not thousands.

Before there were social networks, blogs, email, computers, or newspapers, every village and town had a crier. His job was to wander the streets proclaiming the news. Notices, lost and found, neighbourhood warnings. The crier rang a bell as he wandered, to get people to notice.


Lucy Moore has fine linen yards for sale.
A cut purse is working by the river.
Thursday evening the Live Free! meeting at The Corner Bar at 8 o’clock. Coffee and Conversation.
Jim Moore’s dog is lost. A fine brown girl with a white spot over her left eye.
The new salt tax begins Monday.
 
Often the crier would stop in town squares, under a certain tree, or at a certain corner so that people could gather and listen to all of the notices.

You can be the Town Crier

Sharing improves your engagement because people notice that you find and share posts that interest them.

They, in turn, will comment and share your shared post. 

People who see their shared post will come to your posts to read more.

Your interaction with other posts increases awareness for your brand. Sharing with comments is one of the fastest ways to increase engagement with you.

Your village will grow.
