How to Post a Status Update on Your Google+ Page

So now that you’ve set up your Google+ page for your biz or nonprofit (see this post for step-by-step instructions on how to do that), you need to start posting on the page.  But you log into Google+ as yourself, go to the page, and can’t figure out how the heck to post on it!  It’s easy; you just need to know where to look.

On the upper lefthand side of your homepage is your avatar.  Underneath it there’s a dropdown menu that says “1 page” or however many pages you have.

Click on that dropdown menu, and it will show you the option of using Google+ as your page.

Click on your page name and now you’re using it as your page!  Any of the status updates that you post while using Google+ as your page will update your page’s stream, not your own.  I suggest switching back to your personal page once you’ve posted on your organization page and sharing the update from your organization’s page on your personal page.  This will send it out to a wider audience.  And if it’s anything like Facebook, the more shares and +1′s it gets, the more people see it.

I hope this helps!  If you have any questions about how to use Google+, please ask them in the comments below.
