How To Get A Custom URL For Google Plus Profile And Page

Few days back I got couple of emails in gmail from Google pointing to get a custom URL for Google plus profile and page. In an email they said

You're now eligible for a unique Google+ custom URL that lets you easily point people to your profile (no more long URLs!). Here's what we've reserved for you: google.com/+syedshah Promote this on: your website, emails or other media. Click on the Get URL button below to get started.

Yours sincerely,

The Google+ Team

Wow! for the moment this felt so great that Google selected my profiles for custom URL's. Because first custom URL's were only available for Google's employees, quite popular brands and personalities. But my less number of connections (1.9K personal profile, and around 250 circles on Techij Google plus page) made me curious because these stats are quite less in comparison to famous people and brands, respectively. But soon when I Googled this, I realized that Google has released this feature for many active users to get a custom URL for their Google plus profiles and company pages.
