In this article i will describe you, how to short your link and then where to share it to earn money. But before we start lets discuss, Why URL shorteners pay its users? Or How paid URL shorteners work ? and also about the types of URL shorteners.
Basically URL shortener websites pay you for showing their sponsors ads to your link users that is, to the people who click your link.
For Example: Suppose you have a link/URL of a YouTube video and you short it with a paid URL shortener and after that you shared that link on Facebook. So, whenever a person clicks on that shorten link then he/she will be first shown a 5 second advertisement before he/she will be redirected to the destination page that is your YouTube video page.

Types Of URL Shorteners:

Basically there are two types of URL shorteners:

CPM Model Based URL Shorteners.
CPA Model Based URL Shorteners.

CPM Model Based URL Shorteners:

CPM model based URL shorteners pay its users just for showing an advertisement to the visitors.
For Example: You shorted a link with any CPM based URL shortener and shared it on a website and when people click on it then they will be shown an advertisement before they will be redirected to the destination page. That means they pay you just for showing their sponsors ads to visitors.

CPA Model Based URL Shorteners:

Unlike CPM model based URL shortener CPA model based URL shorteners don’t pay its user for only showing their sponsors ads instead their ads ask for an activity or action to be completed by your visitor to get paid.
For Example: You shortened and shared a link and when people click your link then they will be shown ad like CPM based URL shorteners but these ads ask visitors to complete a task like registering on a particular website, purchase any goods and services, download a file, fill up a survey etc to reach the destination page. If visitor completes a task only then he/she will be redirected to the destination page otherwise the page will remain locked and that is the reason why they are also called as Link Lockers.
CPA based shorteners are good for those users who have a file, software etc to be shared that people desperately want. Usually CPA based URL shorteners pay much higher as compared to CPM Based Shorteners.
