Step 1: Sign Up For a T.LY Account

First things first, head over to T.LY and create an account. The sign-up process is simple and quick.

Step 2: Export Your Existing Data

Before you bid farewell to your current URL shortener, make sure to export all your existing data. This includes all the shortened URLs, analytics data, and any custom settings you may have.

Step 3: Add Your Custom Domain

If applicable, add your custom domain to T.LY. This will allow you to import your short links to this domain. Just remember, do not update the DNS records for this custom domain until all your short links have been imported.

Step 4: Import Your Data to T.LY

Now, it’s time to bring all that data into T.LY. We provide an intuitive bulk import feature that guides you through the process, making it a snap.

Step 5: Test The Waters

Before you go all out, test a few links to ensure they’re redirecting correctly, and the analytics are tracking as intended. It’s always good to double-check.

Step 6: Update Your Links Across Platforms

Now that you’ve set up and tested your T.LY links, it’s time to update the URLs across your website, social media profiles, and any other platforms you use. If you use a custom domain, updating these URLs is unnecessary. They should start working automatically with T.LY.

Step 7: Dive into the Analytics

T.LY offers robust analytics to give you a clear picture of your link’s performance. Keep an eye on the analytics to glean insights and optimize your link-sharing strategy.
