Say Hello! by Michael Brown
“Introduce yourself! Post about things you're interested in and why you are interested in them. Whether it be insect photography, high school sports, fitness routines, teaching, parenting, or movie going, you'll find someone that shares your same interests. And you'll learn so much more about what you're into.”

Be Yourself by Margaret Tompkins
“G+ is first and foremost a social platform. Be polite and honest! Learn from those who are already here. Check out the many great communities that are here and join the ones that interest you!”

Create Unique Content by Craig Froehle
“Commit to generating unique content that provides those who follow you/your collections with something they haven't seen before. If that's too daunting, post stories and links with extensive commentary of your own so as to add your own unique perspective.”

Re-share Other Peoples’ Work by Larry Fournillier
“Don't only post your stuff, re-share other people's work, as long as it’s relevant. Be patient, be consistent and be passionate - remember, this is marathon not a sprint.”

Connect Over Shared Interests by Monika Fuchs
“Create connections and build them into personal relationships. Do that around subjects you are interested in, and post regularly over a long period of time. Collaborations will follow, which lead to success."

Post Quality by Shawn McClure
"Post high quality content regularly but not too frequently and engage meaningfully with comments."

Step by Step by Darren Huski
"Post regularly about topics that you like and want to engage on. Create a Collection around a topic. Seek out Communities and participate. Find others with similar interests, follow them and engage on their content.”
