Okay so this isn't necessarily a secret and it isn't just for Twitter but it's a great tool that I have to share with you all. Many probably already know and use this but others may not. What I wanted to share is something called Google URL Shortener. It does exactly what it sounds like it will do. It shortens your URL for you. Plus, it has other great features as well.

You can even click on different shortened URLs that you have listed and look at specific details for them. You can see the following details for each URL:

• The total number of clicks since you created the shortened URL
• The browsers that your users are on
• The referrers or where people were when they clicked your URL
• The countries your clicks came from
• The platforms that the users were on

To access this tool for yourself, just go here: https://goo.gl/

Here's an example of what I mean.

• Initial URL: http://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/a_aid/44a9b818/campaign/directhomepage
• Shortened URL:

This very helpful in saving characters when tweeting since you only get 140. You want to share your website and affiliate links without using up our available characters for the message and hashtags.

Hope this helps anyone that needed to hear it. I always appreciate the likes and comments so don't hesitate to share you favorite easy tools below. Thanks for reading and have a great Saturday night, friends : )
