I’ve just come across a great new service today that I just have to share with you.

Everyone on Twitter uses shortened URLs. With only 140 characters to say your message it only makes sense to use the shortest possible links.

For example … here’s the full link to the blog post I wrote on using Twitter to grow your business online:

http://www.selfpublishweb.com/demo/online-business-automation/238-growing-your-business-with-blogs-and-twitter

The above URL is 110 characters long. If I wanted to share the above post on Twitter with my followers, this would leave me only 30 characters to post my tweet.

I guess I could write something like “check out this blog post:” (25 characters) then add the above link, but why not turn this link:

http://www.selfpublishweb.com/demo/online-business-automation/238-growing-your-business-with-blogs-and-twitter

Into this link:

Now … link shortening services like the one above don’t cost anything. Most of the popular ones I know are 100% free.

But … what if you GOT PAID to use them?

This would be a real game changer, don’t you agree?

In other words, you do nothing different but now you have an opportunity to get paid, where before you didn’t.

Ok, now back to the concept I was explaining …

There is a new URL shortener service called eCa.sh that works just like all of the other link shortening services, with no technical hoops to jump through or any complicated stuff you have to do other than sign up and start using the service. You get the same ease of use as any other shortener of choice – copy URL, paste into shortener, get link, use link… GET PAID!

So, now instead of promoting this link:

http://www.selfpublishweb.com/demo/online-business-automation/238-growing-your-business-with-blogs-and-twitter

Using this short URL:

http://bit.ly/2KMsIl (where you don’t get paid)

You can promote the same blog post link above using this short URL instead:

http://eCa.sh/iT2k

Not much different is it? Except that with the above link, you have a very clever opportunity to make money from various affiliate sources, while you tweet away or promote your products and services as you normally would.

As you probably noticed if you clicked on the shortened URL above, you still get sent directly to the intended destination page. The only thing that’s different, is a small ad bar appears at the top of your screen below your browser toolbar. To earn referral commissions from sales of the products advertised on this small ad bar, you first need to become an affiliate of the company that manages all of the ads on behalf of the advertisers using this service, then start using the link shortening service which contains your affiliate ID.

To sign up as an affiliate of the Low Stress Income network (it’s free), go here: http://eCa.sh/KBz3.

Once you become a Low Stress Income affiliate, you can promote any of the products in their advertiser network using the special links they provide for you in your affiliate control panel. You will also find lots of great resources like a quick-start guide, banners, links, etc … to help you get started.

You then use your affiliate login details to access the eCa.sh URL shortening service and start shortening your links for Twitter, emails, banner and image links, etc.

Your special affiliate URL will be embedded in all of these links, creating an additional online income source for you on auto-pilot. The more you use this service (e.g. shortening your links for Twitter), the more opportunities you create to earn an ongoing affiliate income.

From what I can tell, this service is brand new but growing very quickly, so if you are interested in making money shortening your own URLs for Twitter, then go here now and sign up for this great tool (it’s free to join): http://bit.ly/4gbSSY
