When they click on those URLs, you get paid. You may be willing to know how URL shrinking websites generate revenue so first I am gonna tell you this.
I am mentioning here some ways to promote shortened URLs.'
>Social Media Sites: Social media sites like twitter, Facebook, Reddit etc are among the best sources for promoting your shrunk URLs. Its not a difficult task, most of you already share thousands of links monthly to your friends and family using social media sites. What are you getting by sharing the bulk of those links? Surely nothing because you are working without setting any target and sharing just for enjoyment. What if you set a target for yourself? The target to earn some bucks with those links. It won't be a bad idea if you start money by shrinking those URLs if you are not making any money from them already. Another advantage of this routine will be that you get rid of those long URLs and will save the space to write more in your status and tweets. A shrunk URL usually contains less than 10 characters so this will save a great space for you while giving you some extra money.
>Your Blog/Website: If you own a blog, then it is an advantageous thing for you because on blogs, there are higher chances that visitors click on your URLs. Embed your shortened links in hyperlinks which you create in your blog or website. You must convince your users to click on those URLs.
