Most people set their post to "public," thinking this gives them maximum exposure. In fact, there is a much more effective way to gain exposure to your top content, as long as you don't abuse it.
By also adding your circles and select individuals to your share settings, this triggers a notification for those users that you've shared a post directly with them.
