Alright, so you just signed up for google+, and no one is following you. Here's how you can change that in a day.
1. Find Your Contacts
Use google+ to import any contacts or friends and family you might have. Usually, you can get pretty close to 100 by following and being followed by your family.
2. Follow like minded people.
A great way to do this is join communities. Use the search function to look for communities that matter to you. Communities are great because you can post in them without the rest of your followers being bombarded. Take me for example, I'm interested in SEO and Gaming, but not all my followers are interested in both. When I comment in the Gaming Community, I don't have to worry about my SEO followers seeing that in their feed.
After you join a community, start commenting and +1ing posts. Follow the original poster, and they'll frequently follow you back. Make sure you mention their name in the comments you leave. It's amazing how effective this is.
3. Shared circles.
Use this one carefully, because there's a lot of spammers in these. The best way is to ask people in your communities to share with you the circles they find most interesting. After you add these people, look at their streams, +1 and comment on their posts. You'll get a lot of follows this way.
After one day of using these three techniques, I was able to get 100 followers. Stay tuned for our next post and follow me on google+!
