How to Create a short Google+ Profile URL?

When Facebook usernames were introduced branding was at its peak and almost everyone tried it to brand their social profiles. Now you can even create a fully custom username for your Google+ profile using an unofficial service provided by gplus.to/username. This API will create a permanent username link for your Google Plus profile that will redirect your friends to your account when they click on the link. The steps are extremely simple. Follow me:

 

Make a short Username URL for Google+

1. Go To gplus.to
2. Submit your username/nickname. In my case I chose mybloggertricks.
3. Submit your G+ ID which you can get as follows,

You can get your G+ ID by clicking profile and then copy the number from your address bar.

      4.   Now simply hit the add button and copy the link which will look similar to this,

gplus.to/username

 

In my case it is:

gplus.to/mybloggertricks

 

      5.   That's it. Now youre link is permanently added to gplus.to data base and you can use the URL shortner anywhere you wish. Enjoy! :)
