It is possible to earn money by shortening URLs and directing traffic to them. This can be done through a link shortening service that offers an affiliate program or by using a link shortener that pays users for clicks on their shortened links.

To earn money through a link shortening service's affiliate program, you will typically need to sign up for the program and receive a unique referral link. You can then shorten this link using the service's link shortener and share it online. When someone clicks on the short link and makes a purchase or performs some other action that the service rewards affiliates for, you will earn a commission.

To earn money through a link shortener that pays users for clicks, you will need to create an account with the service and shorten your links using their link shortening tool. You can then share the short links online and earn a small amount of money for each click. Some of these services may also offer additional ways to earn, such as by referring other users to the service or by completing certain tasks.

It's important to keep in mind that earning money through link shortening can be a slow and time-consuming process. It may take a significant amount of traffic to your shortened links to earn a significant amount of money. Additionally, the amount of money you can earn per click may be small, and there may be limits on how much you can earn in a given time period.
