Good morning. It’s Day 9 of the 5 Minute Promo series and, if you’ve been following along, by now you should have your Facebook Page, Twitter , Instagram and Pinterest accounts all set up and have started adding content, including two blog posts and other content. Today’s task is probably going to take you less than five minutes but at the same time it is going to save you time in the future AND help you find new content to share on your various social media platforms. What is it?
It’s always good to know what’s being said about you.
5 Minute Promo #9
Set up a Google Alert for your book. Doing this will mean that any time your book gets mentioned online, you will get an email notification letting you know. Then, once you’ve checked it out and made sure you like what you’re reading <grin> you can share the link to a review, discussion, teaching idea or whatever via your Twitter account, or your Facebook page, or you can Pin the content to your Pinterest board.
I have a number of these alerts – one for each new book (including, of course, Sage Cookson’s Sweet Escape) as well as more general alerts for topics including Sally Murphy Author (that’s me!).
If you’re not sure how to set up an alert, there is a simple guide here.
Enjoy – and drop back tomorrow for the next 5 minute task.
