earn mony by shrinking links
Hey people,
I decided to make a tutorial about how to use Adf.ly.
There are some others I think, but this tutorial is going to be much longer
than the others posted here.
Let's start, shall we?
Let's talk about referrals for a second here before
continuing with the tutorial. A referral link will usually look like this: http://adf.ly/?id=4558696 . If you're going to refer other people to Adf.ly,
you can make even more money by shortening your referral URL! In that way, you
get the money of the people clicking your link AND the earnings of referring
someone!
If someone signs up as your referral, you get 20% of what they earn. For
example, if you earn $100 by this, I'll get $20. You won't notice anything of
that because you still earn the same amount of money, but I do.
Ok. So to sign up for Adfly, click
the Join now button on the top right. Fill in your name, email and password.
Then you have to select what you want to do: earn money by shortening links and
spreading them or advertising your own website (that is going to COST you
money). In our case, we're going to choose for Link shortener (default option).
Check the I agree to the Terms & Conditions box and there you go! You may
have to verify your email, I'm not sure about that.
When you first sign in to your
account, you'll see a page similar to their homepage. You'll see a Text box and
a Shrink button on the top and your already shrunk links underneath it. The
text box and the shrink button is to shrink your URLs (duh) and at the links
you can see your already shrunken links, their original links and their views.
To shrink an url, enter a link in
the text box and click the shrink button. You'll get a shortened link. When
someone clicks on that link, you'll earn money for it!
A short explanation about what's
so special about that link: it's easy. When someone clicks that link, they'll
see an ad and after a few seconds an option to skip the ad. Adfly earns money
from their advertisers to show that ad, and you'll get a part of that money
from Adfly!
A few facts:
*Payout by Paypal
*Minimum payout is $5.
*The money you get from 1 page view differs because of different ads, but it's
around $0,00060. That's not much you maybe think, but if you get 5000 pageviews
(easy to get, see spreading methods), you already earned $3 :)
*You can use a shortened link in combination with a referral link (explained in
the beginning of this tutorial), but also in combination with Uploading.com for
example.

Spreading methods
There are many methods to spread
your Adfly link. I'll explain a few.
Twitter ( http://adf.ly/K1J ) is
an excellent method to spread your Adfly links. You can use this in combination
with Flashtweet's ( http://adf.ly/GGZ ) mass follow to get more followers. As
soon as you have like 1000 followers, you can start posting your Adfly links.
Make sure you link them to interesting content and post a little interesting
story together with the link, and don't just post the link without any
explanation, because no-one is going to click on a link like that.
Also you can use 1 of the
following tips:
*Make sure you have a picture of a hot girl as your avatar
and don't forget to pretend you're that girl!
*Use a sexy name
*Change your age to 16
That's very important to get more
followers. Yes, it's a big difference. Many people will follow a nice young hot
girl instead of some newb with standard avatar etc.
IRC
You can also spam that link
through IRC for example. It's against their TOS, but they're aren't going to
find out anyway.
Your website
You can make a little 1x1 iframe
on your website. In that way, each time someone loads your website, they also
load the adfly link in a little frame.
Friends
Just give your friends the links
and let them click at their homes.
School
Click on them at school...
Using a proxy
Make like 30 links and click on
them through a proxy. After you did them, change proxy and delete your cookies.
