Everyone on the internet are voluntarily warning each other about suspicious links and so are your favorite websites you use every day. When you rely on a monetized URL shortener to make money online, you should follow these ideas to gain more views to your links and build trust with your audience.
1. Honesty and disclosure - Be honest and let people know that by clicking your link, you, the content creator, will get a small percent of ad revenue from your URL shortener service. It lets them learn that such opportunity exists and help them feel more comfortable about the way you show your content.
2. YouTube content delivery - Your target audience is your web traffic. When they open the short URL, they will get an interstitial ad, an ad that makes each person wait several seconds before they can continue to your actual content -- uploaded images, photos, songs, videos, etc. Unfortunately, many people don't want to wait that long every time or don't want you to get paid. You can give your viewers another option to view your content by offering them a short YouTube video tutorial that guides them to your real URL. Upload a short video with 1080p resolution, 30 seconds to 1 minute long. When they realize the YouTube route takes too long, they will opt for your short URL.
3. Instagram Stories - You can post multiple stories that guide people to your real URL. Your traffic will be required to log in to their Instagram to see them. In comparing log-in versus clicking the short URL, they will determine that the short URL may be the faster option.
4. Twitter Fleets - You can post multiple Fleets that guide people to your real URL. Your traffic will be required to log in to their account to see them. In comparing log-in versus clicking the short URL, they will determine that the short URL may be the faster option.
