You can still profit from shortening links in 2022…

Although I no longer prefer making money from the Internet in this way because it is somewhat annoying to the visitor.

However, this does not prevent it from being a possible way to make some profit for beginners .

The most important thing here is to choose the best and most appropriate link shortening site for you, which is basically determined by two basic things: 

• How easy it is to skip the link with it.
• Earning per 1000 link visits.

I could continue in the introduction and tell you what you can achieve from this method, or tell you that you can earn $100 a day from it.

But this is actually not true.

According to my personal experience, profit from shortening links will not bring you more than $5 per day .

Therefore, if this amount is appropriate and good for you, you can move on to complete the rest of the topic.

If not, in the links above you will find ways to verify much more than that.

Now let’s get to know…

A simple explanation of shortening links for money

The majority know how to profit from shortened links.

But some people, and you may be one of them, do not know and research until you understand the nature of the work that you will be doing.

So the profit here is summarized as follows:

• You copy the link to anything special on the Internet (article – video – image – application – etc.).
• You search for a good link shortening site, register with it, then place the link there and shorten it with the click of a button.
• Now you have to take this short link and publish it in the way you like (under the YouTube video – in an article – on social media).
• Once someone clicks on the shortened link and skips it, you get a profit from the link shortening site you subscribe to (usually ranging from $1-20 for every 1,000 skips).

The profit you got when someone skipped your link is part of the link shortening site’s profits from the ads that were placed on a page before entering your link and which appeared to the person who clicked on your shortened link.

This is very brief so that you understand what is happening and that the site does not distribute its money for free.

The problem here: you need a large number of people to skip your links in order for you to get a good profit from this method.

This will become much easier if you already have an audience from a blog, YouTube channel, or even an interactive account on social media sites.

Now let me tell you…

Strategies for profit from shortening links

Or in short, how can you get people to skip your link.

There are many ways through which you can get large numbers of traffic for your shortened links.

The most important of these methods are:

1- Create a blog for downloading programs and games

Do you know the number of monthly searches for games and software content in Arabic content?

Exceeding 20 million monthly searches.

Therefore, creating a blog, taking care of it, and constantly adding content, including games and programs, to it may bring you thousands of visits per month.

But how can you profit from shortening links in this way?

It’s simple after you write your topic. All you have to do is:

• Take the link to the program or game and put it on your link shortening site.
• Now take the short link and put it in your article.

Every time someone wants to download this game or program, he will click on the link and skip it to get what he wants.

What is unique and interesting here is that most of those who want to download programs and games already know the shortened links and how to bypass them.

Therefore, you will get a very high turnover rate per month and thus large profits.

But….

The problem here is that creating a blog that gets a large number of visitors requires some time, sometimes at least 3 months.

Therefore, if you want to make money quickly , this method should not be your first choice (but you should think about it).

2- Create a movie website

Almost all movie sites use shortened links.

Every time you want to download a movie or even watch it, you will often come across a short link and be asked to skip it in order to reach the download or watch link.

What is also unique about this method is that it has a very large audience.

Almost most movie downloading sites get a huge number of visits.

All you have to do is know what visitors are searching for and add your shortened links, then you can profit easily without your intervention or the need to constantly publish links.

3- Create a YouTube channel and share your links on it

YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world after Google.

There is a huge audience of people who prefer video clips over read articles.

You can take advantage of this feature and create a distinctive YouTube channel in which you provide explanations of different programs or websites, or even provide information about courses and other things.

Every time you post a video about a program or website, all you have to do is shorten its link and then share it in the video description box.

What is special here is that you can share shortened links in the description of YouTube videos without problems or banning your account, unlike some social media sites, the most famous of which is Facebook.

Here you can also profit from YouTube through your channel in many other ways, including advertisements, affiliate marketing, and others.

Thus, you can combine more than one earning method and thus increase your daily or monthly income.

4- An interactive Twitter account

Twitter is one of the most popular social media sites to date.

It is worth noting that it is preferred by many people, even more than Facebook.

What is unique about Twitter is that it allows short links to be published on it, unlike other social networking sites.

So all you have to do is use Twitter to publish your shortened links, and you can do that in two ways:

• Having an active Twitter account with a lot of followers and posting normally.
• Or take advantage of the trend on Twitter and put a link in your own tweet with the trend’s hashtag.

This second method is suitable for beginners and those who have new accounts or have a very small number of followers.

5- Share shortened links on your Telegram channel

Telegram has become one of the most powerful social networking sites in recent times.

Telegram channels have become widespread, often with thousands of subscribers.

You can create your own Telegram channel in which you offer exclusive videos, courses, etc.

From time to time, you publish a short link to anything exclusive.

You will find a lot of people skipping the link trying to access your content, and thus you will find good profits.

The most important thing here is to promote your channel well and try to attract as many subscribers as possible to it so that you can see good profits from your shortened links.

6- Join groups to exchange visits to shortened links on social media

In fact, most sites for profit from shortening links reject this method and warn against it, while others allow it.

However, there are many people who are doing this even now.

All you have to do here is search on Facebook for (visit exchange groups) and you will find many of them. Join and work with these people.

7- Combine file upload sites and link shortening sites

This method is not actually to get visits, but to increase your profits.

If you do not know, there are some sites called file upload sites .

On these sites, you can upload any file, whether it is a video, photo, or book, and every time someone uploads this file, you get a small commission estimated at $1-$8 for every 1,000 downloads.

• Here you can simply search for a distinctive program or book, upload it to any of these sites, and get the link.
• Then you take this link and cut it on any link cutting site.
• You can now promote the shortened link in any way you like from the methods above.

Thus, you get double the profits from skipping the link initially and then downloading the file.

8- Combine link shortening sites

Many sites warn against this method and reject it.

In fact, it is a very bad method because you double the effort on the person who skips the link.

Instead of him skipping one shortened link, you make him skip two links in order to get what you have.

Therefore, I do not recommend it, but some people do it, and therefore I posted it.

Like the method above, this method is to double profits and not to gain visits.

Quickly what you will do is: 

• Get a short link from a specific company.
• Go to another link shortening site and shorten the shortened link.

But it is important to know whether this is allowed on both sites or not so that your account is not closed.

Now, since a lot of people are searching for this, let me answer the following question…

Is it possible to profit from shortening links without publishing them?

Yes, there are many sites through which you can buy visits to your shortened links. You pay $2, for example / 1000 views and you get 3, but the problem is that the visits you have purchased may not be counted in full, and therefore you may lose instead of making a profit.

There are some other ways through which you can profit from shortening links without publishing them, such as: 

• Blogs are where you post links once and get continuous visits.
• YouTube channels can also make money without having to constantly publish. As the video becomes more popular, you will get profits.
• You can also try the Picoworkers website , through which you can publish the link and offer a small portion of your profits to each person who skips it.

Now let us move to the most important part of this topic, which is….

The best sites for making money from shortening links

Let me first ask you…

Do you care about the ease with which your visitor can skip the shortened link?

Or do you want to earn more and do not mind joining a site that is filled with advertisements that are annoying to the visitor?

If you are looking for profit and never look at the ease of your visitor’s access to the link, then let me frustrate you a little:

Suppose you chose the link shortening site with the best profits and it contained dozens of annoying ads, what will happen now from your point of view??

According to my personal experience, the largest percentage that will skip your link is 20% of all people who reach the link!!!!!!!

That is, you lose about 80% of the people who reach your short link.

Unlike using a site that is easy to skip (it converts 100% of visitors).

Therefore, each site has its advantages and disadvantages, but I always prefer sites with landing pages that are easy to skip.

Now let me tell you the best link shortening sites to make money: 

1- Adfly website

Whether you are looking for the best link shortening site for the first time or have already been working in this field for a long time, you have certainly heard of Adfly.

This is simply because he is the best and most honest in this field for more than 10 years.

Despite its somewhat low profit rate, I consider it the best due to the extreme ease of skipping shortened links with it.

• The profit rate for 1000 visits in Egypt is $0.5, and this percentage can be increased if you use push notifications ads.
• In this type of advertisement, the visitor will not reach his destination until he is allowed to receive prices (which will reduce skips, but will increase profits by a very large percentage).
• Profits are withdrawn for the first time on a monthly basis at the end of the month once you reach the minimum.
• After that, you can withdraw from the site on a daily basis without any problems.
• The minimum amount to withdraw profits is $5 if you use Paypal and $10 when using Payoneer.

2- Getsurl website

getsurl is considered the best link shortening site that pays via Vodafone Cash.

It is worth noting that the getsurl website is an Egyptian website and has been in operation for more than 7 years.

There are many features that make this site at the top of this list.

But..

The most important feature is that it supports payment via Vodafone Cash, which you will not find many on link shortening sites.

• It has very good payment rates, as the payment rate for Egypt is $5, which is also the payment rate for other Arab countries.
• The site offers 10% profit from referrals .
• Skipping the link is fairly easy compared to many other sites.
• The site is honest and pays.
• Your profits are paid automatically once you reach a minimum of $5 on the 25th of each month. If you win more than $50, you can request a withdrawal at any time of the month.

Payment methods on the site are:

• Paypal
• Netller
• Bitcoin
• Vodafone Cash
• Orange Money
• Etisalat Money
• money order
• Payoneer
• western union

You can register on the site here:Getsurl

3- Shortest website

shorte.st is considered the best link shortening site that is easy to use for many people and is characterized by:

• Earning rates are also good, around $0.5/1000 views.
• If you register on the site and are able to bring 100 visits to the site, you will be rewarded with $1 (this is for the first 100 visits only).
• The minimum amount to withdraw profits: $5 when using PayPal and $20 for Payoneer.
• Withdrawals are always made monthly.

4- Timebucks website

It is not primarily a link shortening site, but rather a gpt site , but it provides a link shortening service within it.

I think it can be considered the best link shortening site because it is very easy to skip its links, as it does not contain any pop-up windows.

• The profit rates from the site are actually very good, as the site gives you $1/1000 hits for your link.
• The minimum amount to withdraw profits through any method is $10.
• Payment is made on a weekly basis.
• It also offers weekly and daily competitions to win up to $250 per week.
• Methods for withdrawing profits from the site are limited to Bitcoin – Payeer Bank – bank transfer
• You can bring traffic to the shortened link through social media, blogs, as well as PTC sites and other traffic exchange sites and pop-up advertisements.

What I do not like about Timebucks as a link shortening site is that it is not good for blog owners, as it does not contain the script to convert all links on the site into shortened links.

Therefore, the site is very good if you shorten the links manually and then send them to people via WhatsApp groups or Telegram channels, and so on.

5- Exe.io website

• The most important thing that distinguishes the exe.io website and makes it one of the best sites on this list is the ease of using the site and that its prices are somewhat high. You can post short links for exe.io on Facebook without being blocked.
• A good profit rate, as it offers a minimum CPM of $3.20 / 1000 visits (for Arab countries).
• The minimum withdrawal amount is $3.
• The profit rate from referrals is 10%.
• You will be paid once the minimum limit is reached within 7 days of the withdrawal request.

Ways to withdraw profits from the exe.io website

• Payeer minimum withdrawal is $3
• Paypal minimum withdrawal is $5
• Skrill minimum withdrawal limit is $5
• Bitcoin minimum withdrawal is $5
• westernunion minimum withdrawal amount is $100

You can register on the site here:EXE.io

6- FC.lc website

He is not the best in terms of profit rates, but he is honest and has paid me in advance several times.

• The average profit rates it offers are only $3/1000 visits to Arab countries (Egypt).
• But in my opinion, it is considered the best option, because the landing page for the shortened link is not as annoying as other sites that offer approximately the same rate.
• The most important feature of the fclc site , which many other sites lack, is: daily payment, where you can request profits as soon as you reach the minimum.
• The minimum withdrawal amount is $3.

Site payment methods:

• PayPal
• Bayer
• Bitcoin
• Pioneer

What I don’t like is that the minimum is low if you want to withdraw via Payeer only.

If you want to withdraw via PayPal, the minimum is $10.

You can register on the website here:FC.LC

7- Shrinkearn website

shrinkearn is also a very suitable option for you if you want an honest link shortening site that pays daily once you request to withdraw profits.

• The profit rate per 1000 skips equals $3.
• One visit per person is charged every 24 hours.
• Profits are paid to you on the same day once the minimum payment limit is reached.
• The site offers a 20% percentage of the profits to people who register through you.
• The minimum withdrawal amount is $5.

Withdrawal methods from Shrinkearn website 

• Paypal
• skrill
• Payeer
• Paysera
• Nettler

One of the disadvantages of the Shrinkearn website is that it contains a large number of pop-up windows that are annoying to the visitor.

Therefore, if the ease of skipping a link is one of the things on which you evaluate a link shortening site, then perhaps you should avoid this site.

You can register on the site here:Shrinkearn

These were the best sites you could register with and start shortening links on.

Now let me tell you….
