This morning, I’m pointing you in the direction of Agent Kristin Nelson’s blog, to a post of hers that discusses some of the nifty tricks an author can do using Google Alerts.
What are Google Alerts? It’s a system (with Google of course) where you can input certain keywords, phrases and such, and then receive emails on a regular basis (daily, hourly, weekly, whatever you choose) when Google’s search engine runs across new instances of those keywords being posted online.
How can this be helpful? Well, for instance, if you have a book out, you can have your name and the title of the book setup in an alert, and anytime someone posts a review of it, you’re likely to receive a note about it. Or if someone talks about you on a blog, you’ll be tuned in to the conversation without all the tedious googling of yourself.
What else can you do? Check out her tips to find out.
I see that smile.
