   MAKE MORE MONEY USING TWEETBUCKS WHEN YOU TWITTER
   Tweetbucks is one of several interesting sites where you can shorten your url's and make money with their pay per click program.
   
   A URL is the code that usually starts with http:// at the top of your web browser, using tweetbucks your readers are no longer clicking on this long url to get to the page you want them to go to when they click on a link.
   
   If you enable the ad frame any link is Monetized meaning that if someone clicks on the link you will receive payment for that click. To enable ad frames you click in the enable ad frame check box and then in another browser window go to your article site, (in this case we will use ehow.com)go to your custom Avitar and right click on it, you should find a line that says "copy image location" click on that and then go to the page with tweetbucks and again right click on the "image location" and click on paste.
   Then go back to your articles page and right click over your url in the web page bar, click on "copy link location" and then go back to the tab for tweetbucks and paste the link into your web page link bar.
   Do the same as above for the url to your article and click shorten.
   Use this shortened url whenever you send tweets on your articles or whenever you link your articles together and then you will receive pay per click money.
   
   Just for signing up they pay you $5
   
   You won't usually make much off of this site but hey, every little bit helps!
   They will even pay you per click if you opt to retweet tweets for companies found on their retweet offers page!

   NETWORK WITH REDGAGE.COM
   Redgage is a unique site where you post links to articles, blogs, photos, videos, youtube, etc in one central location.
   They you get paid per click from their site to the sites that actually host your articles. People can then rate your articles on redgage to increase your pay per click ratios.
   Eventually they will get the documents link up where you can actually post the content directly onto their site as well but as I understand it, it may not be up just yet.

   SIGN UP FOR AFFILIATES PROGRAMS
   
   There are several web sites out there that will pay you to sell their merchandise. You do not have to do a thing but post links to their information in your resources section of your articles or if you have a website you can set up an online store or links to individual items.
   
   Again this is free to join, and you get paid per click on the sale of their merchandise, you do not have to box, ship or otherwise handle the goods you list for sale.
   
   If you use Tweetbucks to shorten those long url's to the affiliate merchandise you often receive more per click than you would have otherwise received by simply using Tweetbucks to shorten those long url's.

   FINALLY, LOCATE AND SIGN UP FOR AFFILIATES LINKS
   I have the url for Amazon.com affiliates page in my resources section below.
   
   Say you are writing an article about how to properly apply eye shadow.
   You know that Amazon.com sells various shades and types of eye shadow, so you can log onto your affiliates account, locate eye shadows and pick a couple to post onto your resources section on your articles. Now if you use tweetbucks to shorten that long url you can then be paid anytime someone clicks on that link, then if they actually buy something while using your link you will receive a commission off of that sale. Great right?
   But how do you figure out what to use out of that HUGE url that Amazon.com gives you?
   Well first ehow.com does not support images so click on text only, then highlight that text by moving your mouse over the text and right clicking and then click select all, then copy. This information you will post into the box on the right side of where you enter the web address. Then go back to your Amazon.com page and you will see that there will be a " followed by http:// then a long url and another set of " this information is what you will highlight and copy to place again into your tweetbucks url shortener web page. Now your link will pay more per click than it would have if you just put it straight into your links box.
