 * Hi,
 * Please add a goo.gle shortner or something less dependant on third party so we
   can post a smaller link to social networks.
 * Many Thanks

 * Hi [@rik0399](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rik0399/),
 * We have this feature ready for ThirstyAffiliates Pro 1.1.0 which should be out
   this week.
 * Hope this helps!

 * Hi Josh,
 * Sounds promising…
 * And another idea which you may wish to consider :
 * Often, a potential plugin sale is lost due to limited information/experience 
   of the users.
 * Had they been able to peruse the plugin ‘in situ’ on their install at their own
   times and pace, many I suspect would have bought the ‘Pro Version’.
 * Given the availability of coding api keys; why not develop a plugin that would
   synchronise with the server ‘date’ in which it is installed on?
 * Also, use a list of beta testers prior to release of a plugin who could then 
   post feedback/reviews.
 * Just ideas…
 * Regards
 * Richard

 * Hey Richard,
 * Yep, free trials are a bit of a tricky thing with plugins, just due to their 
   installable nature. I’ll keep your suggestion in mind though.
 * We are working on some videos to help explain features etc but they’re very time
   intensive to create. I’ll be jumping on that over the coming months though 🙂
 * Thanks,
    Josh

 * Hi,
 * Had to stop using this plugin, it was killing my server resources when posting
   to networks.
 * Like many who promote affiliate links, I normally post to social networks, sending
   traffic direct.
 * However, using this plugin, links posted to these networks were first redirected
   back to my site and then redirect again to the affiliate link which created 503
   server resource timeout issues.
 * If your on a dedicated server no issues, but for me sadly, not on a shared server.
