Alerts: Working toward what will be on the final

Set up Alerts.

Click on the link and you’ll be directed to a window to create alerts. These will be fed into the e-mail account you provide. Then it’s up to you to check your e-mail as frequently as needed to stay on top of your subject.

When you set up, you’ll need to decide how often you want the e-mails sent. Select “once a day” or “as-it-happens.” Where it says “type,” I’d recommend “comprehensive.”

Create as many alerts, using a variety of terms, as you want. To begin I might start with five. See what volume that produces for a day or two.  If you think you need more, add more.  See the author’s notes for how to choose your words.
