Paid To...

• Paid To Link - we have all used link shorten-er at some point like Google's goo.gl or bit.ly.  There are also services that do the exact same thing but pay you for each click the link receives.  They do this by bringing the clicker to a landing page and displaying an ad to the for about five seconds before allowing them to continue to the site you linked to, example: link back to this post. the payout rates vary between the various services they average around $5.00 per 1,000 clicks or half a cent per click.  these services are a great way to make some extra money quickly because you just need to share interesting things you find on the internet with people.
  
  If you have content you know people will really want then you can use locked links that require the clicker to complete a survey to get to the site. these pay over a dollar per completion. Linkbucks offers this option for links and i will cover it more in later posts.
  
  if your an active member of any forum on online community instead just cutting and pasting a link you would normally share put it through one of these services and make some money for sharing (some forums do not allow monetized links so check their policy first) same goes for your Facebook and twitter.  as for what to link and how best to present them i will discuss that in later posts.
