Author Pro-Tip #875.

If you're actively using Google+ as an author (and if you're an author, you should be,) don't forget to add your freshly published book to Google+ ASAP. Someone will likely catch wind of the noise you're making (or others are making for you) and start searching your posts and profile to find it. Do you make it easy?

I do. And I eat my own dog food, having just added my fifth book to my Google+ profile. Here's how to do it:

1. Select "Profile" from the pull-down list on the upper left corner of your G+ stream.
2. Click "About" from the choices on top of your profile.
3. Scroll down to "Links"  and click Edit.
4. Add the book name and the link to the marketplace you think will sell the most books for you. For me, that's Amazon. And it's probably the same for you, unless you have evidence to the contrary.
5. Position your mouse to the left of the entry fields, and you should be able to click and drag your new entry to the top of the list.

Hit save and you're all set!
