Hey people,
I decided to
make a tutorial about how to use Adf.ly. There are some others I think, but
this tutorial is going to be much longer than the others posted here.
Let's start,
shall we?
Ok. First
you have to create an account on Adf.ly here: http://www.adf.ly/
Let's talk
about referrals for a second here before continuing with the tutorial. A
referral link will usually look like this: http://adf.ly/?id=8160. If you're
going to refer other people to Adf.ly, you can make even more money by shortening
your referral URL! In that way, you get the money of the people clicking your
link AND the earnings of referring someone!
If someone signs up as your referral, you get 20% of what they earn. For example, if you earn $100 by this, I'll get $20. You won't notice anything of that because you still earn the same amount of money, but I do.

Anyway,
enough about referrals. Let's continue with our tutorial.
Ok. So to
sign up for Adfly, click the Join now button on the top right. Fill in your
name, email and password. Then you have to select what you want to do: earn
money by shortening links and spreading them or advertising your own website
(that is going to COST you money). In our case, we're going to choose for Link
shortener (default option). Check the I agree to the Terms & Conditions box
and there you go! You may have to verify your email, I'm not sure about that.
When you
first sign in to your account, you'll see a page similar to their homepage.
You'll see a Text box and a Shrink button on the top and your already shrunk
links underneath it. The text box and the shrink button is to shrink your URLs
(duh) and at the links you can see your already shrunken links, their original
links and their views.
To shrink an
url, enter a link in the text box and click the shrink button. You'll get a
shortened link. When someone clicks on that link, you'll earn money for it!
A short
explanation about what's so special about that link: it's easy. When someone
clicks that link, they'll see an ad and after a few seconds an option to skip
the ad. Adfly earns money from their advertisers to show that ad, and you'll
get a part of that money from Adfly!
A few facts:
*Payout by Paypal
*Minimum payout is $5.
*The money you get from 1 page view differs because of different ads, but it's around $0,00060. That's not much you maybe think, but if you get 5000 pageviews (easy to get, see spreading methods), you already earned $3 :)
*You can use a shortened link in combination with a referral link (explained in the beginning of this tutorial), but also in combination with Uploading.com for example.

Spreading
methods
There are
many methods to spread your Adfly link. I'll explain a few.
Twitter (
http://adf.ly/K1J ) is an excellent method to spread your Adfly links. You can
use this in combination with Flashtweet's ( http://adf.ly/GGZ ) mass follow to
get more followers. As soon as you have like 1000 followers, you can start
posting your Adfly links. Make sure you link them to interesting content and
post a little interesting story together with the link, and don't just post the
link without any explanation, because no-one is going to click on a link like
that.
Also you can
use 1 of the following tips:
*Make sure you have a picture of a hot girl as your avatar and don't forget to pretend you're that girl!
*Use a sexy name
*Change your age to 16
*Make sure you have a picture of a hot girl as your avatar and don't forget to pretend you're that girl!
*Use a sexy name
*Change your age to 16
That's very
important to get more followers. Yes, it's a big difference. Many people will
follow a nice young hot girl instead of some newb with standard avatar etc.
IRC
You can also
spam that link through IRC for example. It's against their TOS, but they're
aren't going to find out anyway.
Your website
You can make
a little 1x1 iframe on your website. In that way, each time someone loads your
website, they also load the adfly link in a little frame.
Friends
Just give
your friends the links and let them click at their homes.
School
Click on
them at school...
Using a
proxy
Make like 30
links and click on them through a proxy. After you did them, change proxy and
delete your cookies.
