A Simple, Easy-to-Use Tool for Staying Top of Mind with the People Who Matter
Google Alerts is a free tool that allows you to keep tabs on your most important contacts' interests as they make news across the Web. When an alert comes through that, say, contact A's company just announced a new CMO, or contact B's favorite soccer team just won a match, I send them a ping (a quick email or text) with greetings, salutations, and some thoughtful or funny words. Though the content is helpful - and yes, you will need to do your homework in order to know what to track - the truth is that these pings are really just an opportunity to check in and see how they're doing, and how I can help.
Many of you may already be doing this, but for anyone who's been lazy about getting Alerts up and running, today's tip is an excerpt from Mitch Meyerson's Success Secrets of the Social Media Superstars, a collection of insider tips from today's brightest social media innovators - including an opening chapter from me.
Dave Evans' contribution, "Social Media in One Hour a Day," included this great how-to on setting Google Alerts. I hope it's the foot in the rear that you need to finally get yourself started - or to expand your use of this great tool!
Warmest,
Keith

- Thanks for that list Evan. I have bookmarked it to go through more carefully when I have some spare time. What you say here is so true, the biggest problem with working on the internet is that it is so easy to get side tracked. Staying focused is really the hard part.
