Here is an example of the power of Google Alerts and the power of having articles in article banks.
I wrote this article several years ago and put it on a couple of article banks and on my website and today it pops up on my Google Alerts for the book name because this website picked it up and used it. I was a little upset at first because the requested byline isn’t at the bottom of it – but then I noticed that they put the information in a little different format in the middle of the article – and that was OK with me.
The moral of the story is to write those articles now, get them onto relevant websites, blogs and article banks; spend some time getting relevant sites to use your material, do an interview with you, post a review (use your sample review), or run a contest with your book as the prize. Some work early on, pays big dividends down the road.
