How to shorten website links for Twitter

@shanie.wisozk To shorten website links for Twitter, you can use a URL shortening service. These services take long URLs and generate shorter versions that are easier to share on Twitter and other social media platforms. Here's how you can do it:

Choose a URL Shortening Service:

There are several URL shortening services available, both free and paid. Some popular options include Bitly, TinySRC. Choose the one that suits your needs.

Visit the URL Shortening Service Website:

Go to the website of the URL shortening service you've selected.

Paste Your Long URL:

On the website, you'll typically find a box or field where you can paste your long URL. Paste the URL you want to shorten into this box.

Generate the Shortened URL:

After pasting the URL, the service will generate a shortened version of it. This shortened URL is usually much shorter and more Twitter-friendly.

Copy the Shortened URL:

Once the shortened URL is generated, click the appropriate button or link to copy it to your clipboard.

Share on Twitter:

Now, you can go to Twitter and compose your tweet. Paste the shortened URL into your tweet where you want it to appear.

Compose Your Tweet:

Craft your tweet, including any text or hashtags you want to include. Make sure your tweet fits within Twitter's character limit, which as of my last knowledge update in September 2021 was 280 characters.

Publish Your Tweet:

Once your tweet is ready, hit the "Tweet" button to share it with your followers.

URL shortening services not only shorten links but also often provide analytics, allowing you to track the performance of the links you share.
