When I tell people what an amazing asset Google+ is for me and my business, they often seem surprised. Many have opened Google+ accounts, tried it and seen little reason to keep coming back.
Here are what I see as 3 keys to getting the most from it. Please add your suggestions below!
1. Learn how Google+ works
Google+ provides a number of extremely useful tools for it’s users, to help us get the most from it. However, in order to find the tools and use them correctly, you need to be prepared to invest a little time.

2. Circle interesting people and brands
The quality of your experience on Google+ is largely determined by the people or organizations you circle (or follow) here. When you circle interesting people, who make you think, smile or feel good – your experience is magical. When you circle people who bore you, the experience is exactly what you would expect. So, find interesting people and circle them.
3. Communicate, rather than broadcast.
If all you do with Google+ is send out links and broadcast, you’re missing the greatest asset the service has to offer: Its users! Talk to people. Share ideas. Ask and answer questions. Communicate!
So, what would you add to this list? Share your thoughts!
