 Hi, this is George, and this is a video to show you how to get some pretty easy traffic by using Google Plus communities and Facebook groups that are large. I will show you how to search for them. And the key, before I even get started, is to let you know that it's not about going into these communities and blasting your offer, or whether it's free or paid. I always recommend asking the question, if I were a community, if I were a member of that community, and what would I want to see strangers, people I don't know yet, people who I don't trust yet, what would I want to see them post? That would delight me, that would make me feel that this was a valuable and useful post, or beautiful post, or whatever it may be, either useful or delightful, right, those two kind of general criteria and digestible too, so it's not too overwhelming, what would I want to see myself? And then turn that around and do that unto others, so that you are always a good member of the community. You are always what's called adding value or being of benefit to others. And as a result, when you do have an offer to share something that you really believe is going to be a benefit to that community, it may be something paid, something free, for them to join your list or whatever, you already have trust you've built with the community and it would be credible for you to do so. Alright, so first of all, in Google+, go to Google+, login, and on the left-hand side, this might say home instead of profile, but anyway, hover over this part, and then scroll down and click community. So again, how do you do that? You move your mouse and hover over this block right here, right here. And then scroll down and click communities. Okay, wait for it to load. And then once it loads, you may have joined communities you may not have, but the key is to, you could do a couple things. One is you can scroll down on this page, I've joined a bunch of communities, so you might be like, what? These are ones I've joined, you might not have joined, but just scroll down and then past any ones you have joined, you'll see discover communities and Google+, will suggest some of the communities that might be of interest to you based on any that you've joined or not. And look at some of these communities are huge. Famous quotes has 200,000 people in it. Okay, so what I would suggest is to search for communities where you would be posting things of value. So for example, I might search spirituality and press enter. It's always better to search one word rather than multiple words because one word then would give you more results. And so here's a search for spirituality. I scroll down, this has 12,000 members. You know, on Google+, I would encourage you to look for communities that have tens of thousands of members, if not over 100,000. You'll get a lot more traffic when you post something there. But anyway, 12,000 is not small. 2,000 I would say, below 10,000 I would say definitely is considered small if you're posting things to get traffic. So spirituality apparently is not a very popular sort of communities type topic in Google+. So let's try something else. I go back and I post, get creative, think about other words. So I'm going to click on wisdom. I know that this will come up with something because I have found a community called wisdom. Wisdom has 149,000 members. So I'll give you another example. One of my clients is looking to connect with parents. So I might search kids, right? So for communities of people who care about kids and family cooking with kids every day. Now these, if you're looking for communities that have less than 10,000, it's okay. But just make sure that they have, for the number of members, make sure they have a lot of posts. So this one only has 4,000 members but has over 5,000 posts. So it's probably an active community that might be useful for getting traffic, 1,800 members but has 2,800 posts. Okay, so I'm going to go back to the one on wisdom. I'm just going to click, I'm going to go back to communities here. Okay. So I'm going to just go go to wisdom and I'm going to show you something quite interesting here. So in every community, I'm just going to scroll to the right so you can see the postings more fully. In every community that's large, many people post, right now I'm recording this at 426 p.m. This was posted 1 minute ago. Okay, so they have a lot of postings and I'm going to scroll down and I'm just going to find a posting that's at least 1 hour old. So let's see here. I'm just going to go down to maybe 3 o'clock-ish. Okay, 3 o'clock-ish. I'm going to go further down to, okay, 315. Okay. I'm going to find, this has a lot of pluses and etc. Well, I'm just going to click on this image. Okay, I'm going to click on this image and notice at the bottom of this image, it tells you how many views of this image there have been. You can also click on photo details and it will tell you how many views and then if you collapse photo details again, you can see how many comments there have been. But isn't that interesting? Within an hour and a half of this thing being posted, there are already over a thousand views of this image. So over a thousand people have seen this within an hour of this thing being posted here. This is amazing. Okay, and I'll scroll down further to one that has, well, 40 pluses. Wow, 8 pluses. Okay, this has fewer pluses. I think probably because the image is not that interesting and it's just trying to promote herself. Okay, again, this is, you know, it's about adding value being of benefit to the community rather than just being self-promotional only. But still, even though this is self-promotional, even though this is self-promotional, let's click on the image and see how many views there have been. 1,400 views within an hour and a half of this being posted. So I'm not saying you should post anything self-promotional, but even if you do, you'll get quite a bit of traffic, right? But try to be of benefit and you can know whether you're being of benefit by looking at other postings that have more pluses. This only has 8 pluses, but look, and this one only has 1 plus. Now, why? It's because it's trying to get people to read a long article and something that's reading a long article, people feel overwhelmed. People like seeing images. Something that's digestible. Think digestible. Not, oh, I gotta click on this and read a long article to get some value out of it. The more digestible this is, right? This is very digestible. It's just an image. And look, 24 pluses, right? Versus this one, long article. No pluses at all. This is not an image. This is a link. So I can't even click to see how many views. This will bring me to an article, right? So rather than an image, this is an image. Another example, right? Read more 260 lines, okay? No pluses because people feel overwhelmed. It's not digestible, right? And this is very, very digestible, obviously. 19 pluses. It's not that interesting of an image, really. But it's over a thousand views and this was posted, let's see. This was posted about two hours ago. Anyway, so this is amazing. Just look, join large communities based on different searches. Just do not give up. Keep searching different words. Keep trying different words until you find communities. And once you join some communities, right? You can come back to the communities page. Once you join maybe five or so, you can then come back and then scroll down to discover a community section and find really large ones, okay? And go into the communities. Notice which kind of postings get the most pluses and post things like that to add value. You can always also add a link to your website when you post things as well. I'll show you one of my clients who is doing this. She's joined a couple of large communities. One of them is called True Love and I'm just gonna search that, okay? So 185,000 members, wow. So in this community, okay, her name is Claire Shamila. So I'm just gonna type Shamila to find her postings. Press Enter and you can see, okay? So this is a posting. She put an image here and she has a link to her posting, okay? And it's gotten a lot of pluses already. Let's see, let me, and this is, this was just about five hours ago she posted this and how many views has gotten over a thousand views, okay? Scroll down, she has another posting. This was about a week, actually more than a week, a week and a half ago, maybe two weeks ago. And it's got 25 pluses, very digestible. She's got the link of her website right in the image itself and over a thousand views, almost 1500 views, okay? And she actually sometimes posts the actual link right in the message associated with the image and that makes the link more clickable and that's okay too. Like for example this one, right? So post a quote and then the link that you can click on to go to her website. And this one has 36 pluses and this was posted about a week and a half ago and over a thousand five hundred, 1700 views right now. So that's an example of using Google Plus communities and adding value in a digestible and interesting way. Let's go to Facebook and I'll show you Facebook groups and how to search for them and find them. So again, I'm going to search spirituality. Okay, now type in whatever word you want. Again, be persistent, try different words, single words, okay? So I typed spirituality and instead of clicking on any of these there's something wrong with my browser today but there should be something down here that says see all results for spirituality. It's basically the very last thing you can click on. Not any of these other ones. Just click on the very last thing. It should say see all results, okay? Click on that and now I'm in the all results page for the word spirituality and the key now is to click on groups, okay? Groups, click on groups and then scroll down and find a group that has lots of members. Now it just so happens that this one has lots of members but sometimes you'll find the groups isn't very well sorted so sometimes you'll find members with a few hundred members, a few hundred. But keep scrolling until you find a group with lots of members. What is a lot of members? I would say over 10,000 members in a Facebook group would be considered quite a large group. That's worth connecting with and posting in because chances are you'll find kindred spirits and potential clients there. So here's the key. When you find a group with lots of members, right? Instead of going right into the group and joining and starting to post, here's how you can find other groups. Move your mouse over the group description and there should be a button that says similar, okay? Let me show you this again. I clicked on groups, right? And I find a group that has lots of members. I move my mouse over the description and there should be a word that says similar that pops up. I click on similar, okay? Now it's going to show me tons of groups, right? And look for the ones that are over 10,000 members and look, you can even click similar for lots of other ones. But join, I'm just going to go into this one, okay? And join a couple of the large groups and still and go in there and be a good citizen of that group. Comment positively on other people's postings, share things of value. And how do you know what's valuable? How do you know how to share things of value? And by the way, look for groups that say open group. If you find a group that has large, it's probably open group. So let's go into this group and I'll show you what is considered postings with value, okay? This is a pinned posting by the group moderator, so I'm just going to scroll past this one. But this is recent posts and this one 15 minutes ago, nobody has liked it yet. Why? Because again, this is going to a link and links people go, oh, I got to click on a link to see what's of value there, probably not so great. But this one, this is sort of promoting something, okay? This is being self-promotional. And again, nobody, 20 minutes and nobody has liked it at all. Again, don't be self-promotional. Don't just be, even if you're going to be self-promotional, right? Share of inspirational quote in the beginning. This person could have been better posting it. Share something inspirational. Something even if they didn't want to join your free thing or buy your thing, that they would have gotten value out of that post, okay? So it shouldn't be starting with, look at me and join my business and I am so important. No, it should be, let me share something that is going to enrich your life. And then if you're interested in joining my free thing or whatever, then it's up to you. Self-people are really aware of people being self-promotional on social media. And that's true because one is being self-absorbed and if you're just being self-promotional, you're being self-absorbed, instead give and at the same time promote whatever free thing you have. That makes sense. A win-win situation. This is not a win-win situation, right? Let's go down further. Never abandon its three large and unwavering friends. Okay, so I don't know what this image is not showing up but I bet this was something... Okay, well, 29 minutes. This is a language that most people can't read so I think it's Brazilian. So that's probably why I didn't get... Let's find that one that has likes and I'll show you probably why. Okay, wow, a lot of things that don't have like... Okay, two, see this one? Very digestible, uplifts me, okay? And two people have already liked it. And this, you know, when you share something that is digestible that people will uplift them, more people are likely to click on your profile and see what you've got there, okay? Let's look at more. More things that people have liked. Okay, this one, again. This beautiful image, okay? Beautiful nature images are always good. Two people have already liked it. There's no Wi-Fi in the formers but I promise you will find them. And even if you don't click on it, you've already gotten some inspiration out of this. And maybe the image itself, I've always been a nature lover. I think people are clicking it just because they're nature lovers too. So that's cool. Further down to, okay, this new message from God is here to alert and power. Okay, it's come a great time in need. So this is something of value. The message from God, I don't know. I don't know if this is whatever. But people have already liked it. So notice what's being liked and try to emulate. And scroll down, keep going until you find something that's like and try to emulate that kind of thing. Again, they're very digestible and seven people have liked it already, okay? And again, something that's, again, this is not very digestible. What the heck is this, right? All right, it's a hard image but what the heck, right? And no one has liked it. So look for things that have been liked and imitate, emulate things like that. So I hope this has been helpful. I know it's kind of long but please comment below this video and let me know what you learned so that you can hopefully others watching this, before they even watch this video, they can see what is a benefit in this video. And last thing I want to say again is rather than going into communities and being self-promotional, don't be desperate, okay? Your desperation is not to be shown in online communities. Again, don't be desperate. That's a whole other topic. Your true needs will always be met. Notice that you're still alive. You're still using the computer. Your true needs will always be met. So don't be desperate. Go into communities, be inspired, be uplifted and give because when you give, you also yourself be uplifted. Give in a way that, just give your very best. Don't hold back. Don't try to think, well, gosh, you know, are people going to buy my thing? Give your very best. And occasionally, maybe one out of every three messages you put, also include some kind of free offer or sometimes you may even include some paid offer. But first and foremost, be a good community member. Comment on other people's postings positively. What I always like to do is, if I post something, I try to comment positively, appreciatively on two other people's postings. So that keeps a really good ratio, okay? With that, signing off, and go and be of upliftment in the world. Take care.
