CHAPTER TWO

How Do I Set Up My Google+ Profile?

In this chapter:

+ Signing In for the First Time

+ Completing Your Google+ Profile

After you activate your account, you need to set up your personal profile. This profile defines you publicly and is your chance to provide personal information and convey your personality. Your profile isn’t just an exercise in vanity and self-promotion; it enables people to search for you and distinguishes you from other people who share your name.

Beyond giving people an idea of who you are and what you’re interested in, your profile encourages them to add you to their Circles, initiate conversations with you, share items with you, and much more.
