September 6th: Day Six of InSeMaMo
Today's challenge is to set up Google and Twitter Alerts to notify you when people are discussing your book or your subject.

Imagine recommending a book to a friend online, and receiving
a thank you from the author; or asking a question about a subject and having someone who has written a book on it join the conversation and answer your questions. How much more likely would you be to recommend that book again or to buy the book on the subject you were asking about?

Receive
Alerts for your name, the title of your book, or subjects related to your topic.

Glad you like it Marianna. I find even just liking, retweeting, or favoriting a tweet with my name in it lets the person know I appreciate it, and it only takes a second to say "thank you" that way.

Already done! I have it for my book titles, as there are few people with my old and new name out there!

The Twitter alert page is not loading for me, but this is a great idea, so I will keep trying. Thank you!
