This process works for me… Before starting you must create an account with Google+, to do this check out my tutorials section.
1) I uploaded 322 contacts into my personal account on Google+.
2) Google+ sent all these people a notification informing them that I had added them to a circle – this notification was sent by email to those that did not have a Google+ account by Google+, not me!
3) I then created a Google+ page for Digital Entrepreneur on the Google+ network.
4) I then went into my Business Page>Profile and clicked on “Share this Page” and selected the contacts circle on my personal Google+ account.
5) I then created a blog post providing relevant information I thought my contacts would be interested in and uploaded a link to the page on my website.
I then monitored the hits to my site using Google Analytics.
I am refining the whole marketing piece behind this – the information must be relevant etc but it worked for me, my site got hits and people downloaded my content about GLOOP and so on.
Can you be more specific about the content of your article? After reading it, I still have some doubts. Hope you can help me.
