Bit.ly : Shorten Your Links!



Hello everyone!

In the previous post, I have talked about Google Forms. If you have tried to make your own Google Forms, you might notice that the link of your Google Forms was pretty long, right? Sometimes, it’s hard to copy-paste the link. You might accidentally adding some alphabets and your Google Forms won’t be found! If you have experienced this, you might wonder how to shorten your Google Forms link.

That’s why I wrote this post today!

I would like to introduce Bit.ly to all of you!

So, what is Bit.ly?

Bit.ly is a website where you can shorten any URL that you think is too long. It short link is redirect you to the original link. However, when you change your original link to bit.ly, the name is still in random words and numbers. But don’t worry because you can custom your link as you desire.

Then, how to change the link in Bit.ly?

For your information, if you want to use Bitly for the sake of shortening a link so it’s easier to share, you can do that without signing up as a user, but if you’d like to keep your shortened links organized, access your links again in the future and track clicks on those links, then signing up for a free user account is probably a good idea. So what you have to do first is you need to sign up using your email address. After you signing up, you will directly go to the homepage. So you will see the “create” button next to the search column at the top, then click it. After that, you just have to paste your original link and click “create”. After that, you will see the “title” column and “customize back half” column. For the tilte column, you may write the title of your Google Forms so the respondents may notice that they are in the right page and for the customize back half column is where you can customize your bit.ly’s link. After you customize it, click “save” and finish!

It is so easy, right?

Please try it out and you may be surprised by its easiness!

Here is my bit.ly link for your reference. See ya!
