Blogging can be a really profitable business, especially if you have a large number of subscribers. However, there is always an opportunity to optimize income for both beginner bloggers and well-known and popular influencers. How can short links help in this matter? Let's find out!
“Packing” an affiliate link into a short link. Many services and companies provide affiliate links (ref links), recording all clicks and orders and paying a reward to the partner. This way, you can not only place a link to the product you are reviewing, but also earn extra money on the referral link. In this case, the affiliate can change the url a lot and make it hard to read. Shorten it and your followers will not even notice the presence of the referral component.
Setting up an advertising redirect. Some shorteners allow you to earn money by promoting their services and using their links. You give your consent to display ads when you redirect from a short link to a long one and get your share of the advertising. In this case, the final link may even be a referral link, which will add even more weight to such a mechanism.
Paid access to the link. Create unique content, place a link to it in the public domain, and add a password. Such a short link will only be available if you have a password. This way, you can give out the password only after payment or other confirmed action.
Change the end link. If you have a previously shortened short link, you can easily replace the destination link. This way, you can offer temporary hosting for partners, with regular (e.g. monthly) payment. At the end of the payment period, simply redirect the link to the desired partner and continue working as usual
With the right approach, you will always find an opportunity to improve your income without risking losing the loyalty of your subscribers or viewers.
Thus, you can simply place a few thematic short links in your blog or under your YouTube videos and get a decent extra income
