Now that you have an AdFly URL that is associated with your account, the work begins.

You will now be paid for every person that clicks on your AdFly link, so you need to give it maximum exposure. The easiest way is if you already own a website, you can 'shrink' URLs already on your website and replace them with AdFly links. Then your website visitors click on them, you will earn money.

It doesn't matter if you don't own a website, there are plenty of other ways to get people clicking on your AdFly links (without spamming!). Here a few ideas:

  • Forums. If you are helping people out on a forum and giving them the answers they require, shrink any website URLs with AdFly and then include them in your post. Be absolutely sure you are not spamming though, otherwise you get your account suspended. Always abide by the forum rules.
  • Twitter. Do you have a Twitter with lots of followers? AdFly is perfect for tweeting links that will earn you money.
  • YouTube. Got a great website to share with your subscribers? Shrink it with AdFly first.
  • Anywhere you normally post links! Use your imagination and paid by us every month.
