Setting up Google Alerts

When you are struggling to figure out something to blog about, I often turn to my trusted Google Alerts to see what other bloggers are blogging. I wanted to share this with you to make sure you are keeping up with what Google finds daily on your subject matter. I also encourage you to set up a Google Alert with your name, your blog name, or anything else you feel you should be alerted about.

Here is how to you do it. You need to create a Google Account. If you look at the top right corner of your Google home page, you will see an option to create an account. This will give you access to all kinds of tools Google has that are completely free. Once you are logged in, you will see a bunch of different tools available, you are searching for “Alerts”.

Another easy way to find “Google Alerts”, is just to Google it! It will be the first result you find at the top of your search. Click it.  Click here, I Googled it for you!

The easiest way to understand how cool Google Alerts are is to set up an alert with your own name. Setting up the alert means Google will send you an alert every time it finds your name, once a day or once a week. Choose whatever seems to be best for you. “As it happens” really is a bit overwhelming if you read them….but it also lets you know if Google is finding you, your site, your key words or whatever it is you wish to be alerted about. Once you set up the alert, you just need to tell Google where to email it.

Because one of my web businesses is PrinterBees, an onling printing company, I have many alerts regarding key words like business cards, post cards, online printing, brochures and of coarse “PrinterBees”. It also keeps me aware of any potential “bad press” so I can deal with it immediately. This is one of many great tools that Google has to offer. Make sure to subscribe to the RSS Feed for this site because I have many more cool tools coming your way. Remember, my purpose on this Earth is to teach people, and you have to subscribe to the RSS to make sure you get all of my “tid bits”.

Blessings!

Blogging about your passions and following what you were meant to do. And I mean that literally. Have you taken the time to really go inside yourself and figure out what exactly you were put on this Earth to do? My realization really came to me one day pretty recently when I was reading a book by one of my favorite authors. Dr. Wayne Dyer, who you will often find providing lectures and speaking engagements on PBS. If you have never tuned in to hear him speak, I cannot begin to tell you the impact he has had in my own life, helping me to be self reflective and be true to myself. The last book of his I read was about being your true self and about following what you were meant to do. As I read this book, it became very clear to me, what I have pretty much always known. I was meant to teach people. I don’t think I am cut out to teach children, though I do love children, I don’t think I have the gift of patience needed to be a school teacher. I KNOW that I was put on this Earth to teach people how to follow their passions, to listen and pay attention o their souls and what it is saying to each of us. I hope to inspire you obtain whatever it is that gives you the greatest satisfaction in anyway that I can. I’m not saying that you should leave your responsibilities and join the circus. I am talking about exploring what your soul says to you, learning about it, exploring it and seeing how it can fit within your life while still acting responsibly. One of the greatest gifts I have received from Dr. Wayne Dyer was given to me on tape when I was about 27, by my good friend Steve Toarmina. The tape was called “choosing your own greatness” and I have listened to that tape more times than I can tell you and unfortunately it is no longer in production. I wore mine out and have tried to find it many times with no luck. Most of his writing leads back to the same type of message, which is there are no limits to what you are capable of. You REALLY CAN DO ANYTHING you set your mind to…ANYTHING! I think Mr President Obama has really showed the whole world that anything is possible…anything.

I really would love to hear from you what you dream of and what actions you are taking to lead you in the direction of accomplishing what you most dream of.

I’ll always be happy to start. I really do dream of being able to play a musical instrument and I wish to learn how to play the guitar. I wanted to learn how to play piano, but couldn’t seem to fit in the practicing with all my other obligations. I do still plan to learn how to play and hope that because a guitar is a bit more portable, I will somehow be able to fit it in. If it is important enough to me, I will make time for it and so you will you.

My wish for you is blessings and believing in yourself that anything is possible if you are committed.

One of the bloggers who I like to keep up with is Darren of ProBlogger.com, I subscribe to his blog and read it religiously because he is good at what he does and the information he provides is GOOD STUFF!   I just finished reading today’s post and Darren has recommended this read as a great way to grow your authority on any given subject.  Frankly, he with the “biggest pile” should be respected and for their expertise, so I plan to read this book immediately.  I have downloaded the free report/e-book, which is totally free and would recommend the same for you if you are serious about your blog and earning income withyour blog.

Once I read, which will most likely be in the next 48 hours – maybe less, I will definitely report back on what I think about it.

Click on the Book Cover to read Brian Clark’s Book.  Please post your thoughts after you read.  And do subscribe to the blogs of people you respect in your industry.  If what they have to say will help to educate you further, be open to learning.

The wisest of us is always open to learning from everyone and anyone who has knowledge to share, INCLUDING the youngsters around us.

I have been racking my brain trying to figure out where I could have a blog to pretty much rant about anything and everything and it came to me as I was looking in to new Twitter user names because I am unhappy with the one I have.

Nadine Blogs! in my mind it couldn’t be more perfect because I have so many websites going on at one time, this is the perfect spot to talk about all of them.

I do hope you will stop by often to see what I am up to in both my business and my personal life. I do have much to say and can only hope you will find it interesting and of value. Thanks for taking the time and I must admit, I don’t really have a “plan” for this blog, so we will have to see where it takes us!
