How To Set Up Google Alerts

You can set up actual alerts that will send you email when Google finds anything with whatever term you define. You can set up an alert for:

• your name
• your pen name
• the title of your book
• the name of your blog
• subjects you are researching for your book
• whatever search term you want

To be notified automatically, go to Google Alerts

1. In the search term box, type in whatever term you’re interested in tracking.

2. In the drop down field next to Type, choose from searching news, blogs, the web, a comprehensive search, video, or Google groups.

3. In the How often field choose between receiving emails once a day, as it happens, or weekly

4. Fill in the email field for the email address where you’d like to receive the alerts

5. click create alert

6. A confirmation email will be sent to your email address. You’ll need to click on the link in the email to confirm that you want the alert.

Now you’ll start receiving the emails with whatever Google finds with your search term. Create separate alerts for whatever terms you like. Now you have an automatic, easy way to keep tabs on the things you want to track.
