Once you write your blog and publish you might be interested in to posting the blog to your Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn profile or group or page.

If you want to do so, you have to use a third part tool call IFTTT.

Now in IFTTT we have one option to create the Recipe.

Let see how we can create the recipe in IFTTT.

First of all you sign in into your IFTTT account and click on "Create a Recipe" option as shown below.

Click on the Blogger icon as shown below.

                                                                                   Next >>  Get your own domain preferably (.com)

Get your own domain preferably (.com)

By default your blog will use the address or URL as yourblogname.blogspot.com. So what you can do is you can buy a domain name from website like Godaddy or Big Rock etc and redirect your blogger url to custom domain. Also you create one email id with professional look and then apply for Google Adsense.

But one question that you may think like is it necessary to buy a domain?

The answer is Not always. Sometimes you can get the Google Adsense account approved very easily. But some time it is too hard. So after 5-6 trial if still you are unable to get the approval then you can try this.

To do so you have to buy a custom domain name as per your wish from any website like Godaddy or Big Rock etc.

The domain name which you are buying should have good and meaningful name. Also try to get .Com domain instead of any domain.

Why .COM domain not others

Because there are several benefits of .com domain

1. Usually the user will type the name of your site and then press CTRL+ENTER.
2. Easy to remember
3. .COM is one of the oldest and known extension by the public.
4. Search engines like google, Bing etc emphasize on .COM domain.
5. You will get more traffic on .COM domain.
