Google Alerts

Do you have some news or particular topics that you would like to follow? Do you feel like keeping yourself updated from certain issues or blogs? Do you find yourself consistently searcing for the same term at Google?

If yes, we would like to introduce you the awesome page Google Alert. Google Alert will send you an email whenever there are relevant results to your search. You can further refine your alert by setting the frequency of receiving emails, sources, languages, regions and number of results. Hence, you will not be discouraged from receiving too many junk emails but only the best results from Google. And more, you can keep yourself updated and save your time from searching the same topics everyday. 

Here are the 4 simple steps to set up Google Alert in 2-minutes-time.

1. Click Google Alert or you can simply type Google Alert on Google Search, it should be shown in the first result.

2. You should see the "Search" box on the top of this blue-ish page. Type the news/topics that you wish to follow. Immediately, it will show you some Alert Preview for you to double confirm whether these are the updates that you are looking for. Otherwise, you can simply type in another keywords/phrases to obtain better results that suit you.

3. Then, type in your email address but do not click the "Create Alert" just yet but the "Show Options" beside it. Here, you can start setting up your preference. For instance, if you are interested in looking for migration to Country A, you would not want to get the results/news from other countries, i.e. you can select the region box there for this specific preference. 

4. After you have done all the setting, click the "Create Alert" and you have officially created an alert. 

Congrats! You're done.

[Tip 1] The alert is not limited to just one. You can create a few but bear in mind, too many alerts can spam your email quite badly which can turn out to be very annoying.

[Tip 2] This may be subjective but usually, users will select at most once a day and to only get the best result. This means you will be updated everyday and only with those best results that you should spend some time to read on.

[Tip 3] You can create alert to follow your favourite magazines such as Business Insider/ Harvard Business Review or National Geographics to get free articles.
