Using Google Alerts
Once you’ve published your first book, started your website, and have a few reviews under your belt your name will start to appear across the web. There may be new reviews you don’t know about or readers talking about you or your books (that’s always nice, huh?)
Instead of searching for yourself once a month, why not set up a google alert? Any time the term you’ve asked Google to alert you to appears on the web you’ll get a nice organized email with a link to the website and a snippet of text.
You can set these alerts up for as many terms (say one for you and one for each of your titles) as you want and have it send you an alert for each instance or one digest per day. Of course, if there are no new alerts, you won’t get an email.
