A few of my website customers have asked me recently how do they shorten their urls – website links – when adding them to social media. There’s a great free-to-use tool by Bitly. Visit the Bitly website https://bitly.com/, enter your full URL in the box and click the ‘Shorten’ button. You can then copy the shortened URL to your post or where required.
What is Bitly?
Bitly was established in 2008, and is based in New York City. Bitly shortens 600 million links per month for use in social networking, SMS, and email. Bitly makes money by charging for access to aggregate data created as a result of many people using the shortened URLs.
