Google+ & Twitter, what do I post?
-
Hello,
My site is bobweikel.com
What do I post on Google+ and Twitter?
How often?
Can my posts be the same for all 3: facebook, google+, and Twitter
-
I agree; it's open for interpretation. However, each also has their own community behaviors. To repeat the same thing across all three, well, then why would I bother reading G+ if I can just get it with Twitter? Think about the user's perspective/
It may be more worthwhile to read up on social media best practices to better understand the expectations of those social communities so you can tighten your strategy and execution.

Bob,
You are certainly in a tough niche with NLP and tackling items of weight loss. I will say that I agree with what eyepaq says and would add the following items to focus on specific content to share:
- What questions/comments have you made to your coaching clients that make them really think "wow, thanks Bob"
- What are the biggest challenges that your target market faces
- Do you have existing articles/white papers that have been well received? (these are a gold mine for taking out the headlines in your docs and making them updates)
- What are your competitors scared to say? (breaking the norm is a great way to spark conversation)
Hope that helps.

That's some wise advice, eyepaq. Thank you! Let's see if anyone else has anything to add.

Hi,
I would say that's open for debate. In our case we usually post based on the audience and the audience is very different between facebook, twitter and g+.
In a lot of cases people that are following you on twitter there are also present on g+ and/or facebook and posting the same on all 3 will only annoy them.
My best sugestion in this case is to first put focus on what type of people are following you on each channel and then adjust your posting strategy based on that. (what are those people also sharing, what other channels are they following , circeling, likeing and what type of posts are those other accounts are pushing online.
It will take time but it's the safest way to grow.
However in the beggining I would say you will need to drive blind for a while and do trial and error.
You can use aps like Socialbro for example (www.socialbro.com) for Twitter in order to see who is staying, who is leaving and so on - just to adjust your strategy.
best bet in the begining is to see what other similar accounts are sharing and if those accounts are successfully or not.
Hope it helps at least as a pool of ideas.

Twitter Analytics: Follower Count & Reporting Inconsistencies
Our number of followers on Twitter has suddenly dropped (yet not dropped) in a really weird way. Twitter Analytics shows follower counts in two places: Monthly increases in followers, and then also in the Audience Insights tab, where you can see three months of follower counts mapped in a chart. Month-to-month, the total number of followers continues to rise. What’s inconsistent, however, is the total number of aggregate followers shown in the cart. Twitter just dropped our to total count of followers by about 600. But it’s not like we just suddenly lost 600 followers last month (in fact we gained far more than that), but rather that Twitter seems to have adjusted the aggregate numbers across the board retroactively for all months. So while month-to-month continues to show gains, overall, we still went down. The only way we would have even noticed this, by the way, is because we have a record of the OLD total follower count that Twitter had previously displayed as recently as last month. So confusing. We’re trying to figure out what happened, and the only thing that seems to make sense is that Twitter may have done a huge spam account purge, and instead of making it look like we suddenly lost a lot of followers, they just updated the aggregate total # of followers across all time……? [For the record, we do not buy followers, but we don’t always do the best job at blocking spam followers when the do follow us either.] Any advice would be appreciated, thanks. 🙂

Authorship and Google +
I've got 14 affiliate websites with plenty of original content on each. When I set up Google + last year I of course had the page in my name and then went on to set up separate pages for each site. Actually one page is related to 8 different sites related to golf but broken down by club type. I also have a Wordpress plugin which presents my author bio on my about page for each site. I've filled out all the pertinent information on each Google + page with unique data. OK, when I write a review or blog topic and post it to Google + am I getting the rel = author juice from the sub pages as if I post it to my main profile page? Posting to my Don Bistrow page vs. my golf page?

Is it worth setting up a Google Plus page for your blog?
Hi All, OK we all know the merit in G+, Authorship etc. I'm a regular user on G+ and I work hard to keep my profile up to date and with fresh content. I have no doubt my increased number of followers has helped my blog rank (which my G+ account is linked to). My question is - is there any merit at all in setting up a separate page for my blog so I can get +1s for it (probably very few). Much like any company page that gets +1s and people to follow that company. Or is this just plain silly and I should concentrate on building my personal profile? Thanks

Twitter profile: Personal photo vs brand graphic image
We are promoting our company on twitter, and currently using a high quality brand graphic image. We see others who use the personal photo of "evangalist" who manages the twitter account. Any advice on what works best here to encourage user engagement? A more generic "brand" identity graphic versus a real person's photo? Of course this is in conjunction with doing all of the other good Twitter things, but curious what folks recommend on the profile image.

Should I post these viral videos/photos on my website?
I started posting viral videos and stuff that I found on reddit and youtube on my facebook fan page. It's getting a lot of attention and creating more opportunities for bonding with my fans/customers. I'm just wondering what you guys think about reposting some of this stuff on my blog...do you think it would be worth the time and effort? I've experimented with a few and it really does draw traffic to my site...and gets me facebook shares. But the traffic is very poorly converting. So, now I'm trying to decide if the extra time it takes (i.e. 5-10 minutes to write a blog post and include the video imbed code vs. 20 seconds to just hit the "share" button) is worth it. What do you think?
