CashFly.com is a link shortening service that allows users to enter a longer url and receive a short one as is often needed for social media platforms or when sending SMS text messages. Only, CashFly.com adds a twist in that they pay users each time they share a link with someone. “We thought about the thousands of links you send out to friends or the posts you make on social media platforms and said what if we made it so that people got paid everytime they used our url shortening service?” said company spokesperson Matthew Greene
Backed by an impressive group of private investors who hold an estimated net worth over $100M, CashFly.com aims to become the first mainstream link shortening service that pays users each time they share a (url) link. “Whenever you get that sort of attention from investors, it’s very flattering. It not only says something about the product you’ve built but the vision you’ve articulated to others”. In an economy where funding is harder and harder to comeby, CashFly.com seems to have articulated their vision quite well.
Unlike many other startups, CashFly.com chose to focus their structure around the user base “We know the market place and we know what users want. They want a link shortening service that works well and is convient but they also want to get the highest payouts around. As a result, we decided to bring on only those partners who hold a high strategic value”. With online advertising being the fiercely competitive market space that it is, CashFly.com locked down a major player “We’re very happy that a major investor and partner for the company happens to be one of the largest online advertisers in the world. This allows us to cut out the middle man when delivering ads and payouts. It also allows us to deliver some great benefits to our users which can’t be found anywhere else” stated Greene
Technology was also a factor as CashFly.com chose to integrate a web-plugin which adds an additional layer of convenience for it’s users that traditional link shortening services do not “The Web Plugin just made a lot of sense to us. Users really don’t like having to constantly go back and forth copying and pasting URL’s, so we added a web plugin that does it for you automatically with a click of a button. No more having to fumble between windows and tabs means a greater, smoother user experience” said Greene
With everything in place, it seems CashFly.com is aiming to become one of the biggest websites in the world. But it’s not about any one metric according to Greene “There a lot of different ways to quantify the size of your business and traditional rankings only tell one story, but in terms of reach and volume, we know that we’re in a space where we have the opportunity to really get up there. It’s a long ways away but we know it’s possible.” Greene went on to say that the formula for success from here on out was a simple one but required a lot of hard work “Its straight foward right? We put our users first, whatever they want we do. Whatever they need, we provide. We treat our users like gold by giving them payouts that are about 50% higher than anyone else, we pay promptly, we pay for every impression, we develop great tools, deliver great service and we never stop doing any of it. If we do that, the results will follow. Our users and their satisfaction is everything to us. We track every link, every penny and we do it all in realtime. We’re ready and we promise to make users happy” said an enthusiastic Greene.
