Generally, these days 90% online income generating platforms are doing scam with people and their hard earned money. People know this fact but still they invest and lose their money because they think that they have no other options to make money.
Even these days bloggers with good ranking blogs are not making good dollars. There are lots of reasons behind this like now because of huge competition advertisers have so many alternatives and reasons to advertise on your competitor’s blogs.
If you are also one of them who tried a lot to earn real money online but didn’t succeed then trust me and I am damn sure you are going to love this article and you might say just Awesome. Because in this post I am going to introduce one of my best and favorite online shortener tools to make money online.
I would like mention here in short about how one can earn by using URL shortener sites. Simple, whenever you short a link using it, and people click on that shorted link you get paid.
Shorte.st paying for shortened URLs ? Really ?
I can just say, it’s an awesome question. Every serious person wants to know the answer of this question.
See, these sites pay money because when the shortened links get clicked, people don not get redirected to the destination page, first rather they see an ad page first that can be skipped after 5 seconds. After 5 seconds you can skip that page to go to the destination page.

Means firstly, URL shortener sites earn money from advertisers for showing their CPM ads to people for those 5 seconds, and you earn money because you do the job of shortening and promoting the links.
Now, most of you people might have listened already about URL shortener’s like Adfly, LinkShrink, Quo.io.
But today I am not going to discuss any of above listed, after checking and satisfying myself I am about to discuss my favorite URL shortener tool Shorte.st.
