Since I started using twitter, I became frustrated in making my tweet. tweets are limited to 140 character's each. The problem is I just love to type and I type fast and just hit enter and click on submit without checking if everything is ok. So what happens is the links in my tweets are always truncated because it's too long. So I need to shorten it.
So off to Google and Search. "How can I shorten my link?" Google said, go to bit.ly or tiny.cc
Bit.ly didn't sound good to me. It's sounded like a very techie site. Now tiny.cc is just right. It makes my looooong affiliate links tiny. It really did that. Instead of having a loooong impersonal affiliate link and instead of buying a domain name (costing me $9.99 and monthly webhosting which I am tyring to avoid for now) i got my tin.cc link.
http://tiny.cc/freenpowerful and http://tiny.cc/wahd
The best thing with tiny.cc is you can monitor how many people visited your link (and thus your site). All you need to do is add a tidle or ~
Funny thing is I don't know how to type a tidle. I can't find the symbol in my keyboard and I don't know what it's ALT + (key????) is. So if anyone of you know, tell me.
So I did just that I typed http://tiny.cc/freenpowerful~ saw my stats. Clicked on Monthly view and wow, my lazy effort in marketing my site did have an effect! Just looking at the graph encourages me to go on and market my stuff. It does work! For the first time, I can measure my efforts and see the results.
This is also true for http://tiny.cc/idteams~ I now have 4 people that is in my email list. They didn't join yet. But that's ok...I know 4 people? What the hell! That's too small. I know but as they say "Big things start small!"
