Press the big green button ("Create Link") to create a new link.

Now, you will be prompted to enter a Title and a Destination. The Title is shown on the redirection page, while the Destination is the URL a user will be redirected to after completing all required steps on the redirection page.

Enter the desired details to create a new link.

Press "Shorten Link" to create the new link. The Work.ink URL of the redirection page will be automatically copied to your clipboard. This is the URL, you share with your users.

As you can see, there are many more options under the "More Options" toggle, like setting a custom URL on work.ink, setting a description and setting a YouTube video to be shown on the links page. These options can be set to make your link more appealing to the user but are not required. Only a Title and Destination are required to create a link.

And that's basically it. You've successfully set up your payment information for payouts and created your first link to make money off. Now share this link with your community and every redirection will lead you closer to being rich and famous 😉
