Blogging 101: 10 IFTTT Applets for Bloggers. 10 of my favorite Applets for Bloggers to use to put the internet to work for them by using IFTTT.

Today, I’m sharing 10 IFTTT Applets for Bloggers which allow you to put the internet to work for you. I have been blogging for awhile now. In the beginning, one of the things that frustrated me was finding easy to understand information to help me on my blogging journey. I’m not talking about blogging courses or books that show you how to make money. I just wanted to know how to do a few “techy” things to make my blog look and run nice and smooth. My husband is pretty tech savvy and has a great tech savvy friend, both of whom have helped me do or explain in non-techy terms how to do things. I am going to share these tips with you.

My other blogging 101 tips focused on email with creating a custom email address and email signature and creating hyperlinks in your blog post. This month I would like to show you how to put the internet to work for you with 10 IFTTT Applets for Bloggers.

Have you ever wanted to easily send your Instagram photo to Twitter as an actual photo not a link?

Or maybe you want to automatically send your Facebook Page status updates to Twitter with a link?

The online tool IFTTT, pronounced like “gift,” without the g can help you automate your social media and so much more. IFTTT stand for “if this, then that.” IFTTT is a service that connects two unrelated services together using applets.

First a couple of definitions:

Services are devices and apps that are connected together with Applets. IFTTT contains over 228 services you can connect together.

Applets are connections between two devices or apps.

Using IFTTT is very simple. Create an account for free and connect your apps and devices. The easiest way to connect your services is to go to the services list found here. Click on each service, click activate, and complete the authorization process for each one. Once all of your services are connected you are ready to explore the applets and start automating your social media and blog.

  6. Automatically upload your Instagrams to a Facebook Page Album – Automatically shares your Instagram photos to your Facebook Fan Page and puts them in a labeled album with caption and photo url.
