Expert Answer

If you're using WordPress, most things can be easily achieved using plugins. Using plugins, you can add content to your posts on WordPress and have it automatically display on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and various other sites as soon as you publish. For example, a plugin like Jetpack (made by the same people who developed WordPress), includes a tool called "Publicize" that allows you to easily connect your WordPress site to Facebook. Simply click a button, log into your Facebook account, and then follow a simple wizard to connect your site with your Facebook account in a couple of clicks.

Is it a must to pay for a domain name?

Community Answer

Yes, all domain names that end in things like .com or .org have yearly subscription fees, but most free blogging platforms like Blogger offer hosting on their own sites, often under things like .blogspot.com.
