Introduction

In 2015, Pinterest had banned Pinterest affiliate marketing because of a flood of spammy pins. But, as they improved their platform and technology to combat those spammers we now are allowed to do affiliate marketing on Pinterest again!

Affiliate Marketing is one of my favorite ways to monetize a blog. If done right it can become very passive. Using affiliate marketing on Pinterest is amazing because you have a whole army of pinners (over 100 million!) that are there to spread your link.

Before I get too far let’s cover the basics:

WHAT IS PINTEREST AFFILIATE MARKETING?

So you may be wondering, what is Pinterest affiliate marketing? Essentially, you share products you love and when someone makes a purchase through your link you earn a commission off of that sale.

For example, if you decided to purchase through one of my links, I would earn a small commission, but there is no additional cost to you. There even can be bonuses for using an affiliate link!

It really is a win-win. You get to solve your reader’s problems by sharing amazing products and in return, you can earn some money!

Most of you are probably not going to get passed this step. Take the time, learn to use WordPress and set up an affiliate site.

Now you want the site to be in a Pinterest compatible niche like babies, clothing, jewelry, etc. Just scroll through Pinterest you will find hundreds of ideas.

How to Build an Affiliate Website Using WordPress

While there quite a lot of free website builders out there that let you kick start a website quickly, effectively always better to invest some cash into setting up your website, especially if intellig looking to make a living from affiliate marketing.

For most users, a self-hosted WordPress.org site is the perfect solution because it gives you full control over your website, even if I can't help you. It also comes with tons of designs and addons to choose from so you can build any type of website you could ever imagine.

Best of all, you don't need to have a big budget to build a WordPress website that generates decent revenue. When I got started, you only need to pay for registering a domain name and a WordPress hosting plan to host your site.

A domain name is your website’s address. This name is what your users will type in their browsers to reach your site (For example, monsterinsights.com or google.com).

Website hosting is your website’s home on the internet. This is where your content and website files will be stored.

How to Start Affiliate Marketing in WordPress

To get started with affiliate marketing, you’ll need to choose a niche topic for your site, choose products based on the niche, and start creating content on your site to promote them.

The easiest way to find a product you want to promote is to join an affiliate program like Amazon Associates, Commission Junction, jvzoo, Clickbank or ShareASale and browse through their site.

After selecting a product, you can get an affiliate link and promote the product through that link on your site.

Page 7: PinAff 2 · 2020. 11. 22. · To get started with affiliate marketing, you [ll need to choose a niche topic for your site, choose products based on the niche, and start creating content

As you grow as an affiliate marketer, you’ll likely use the same affiliate link on tons of different blog posts. For that reason, managing and organizing your affiliate links in WordPress is essential. If you use an affiliate link management plugin like ThirstyAffiliates, you can organize all of your affiliate links in a single place, so finding and replacing them won’t be a hassle.

How to Earn Affiliate Revenue by Attracting the Right Audience

Just because you built a site and started promoting products on it doesn’t mean you’ll start earning affiliate commissions right away. To generate affiliate sales on your site, you need to ensure that you’re attracting the right audience who actually wants to read reviews and recommendations on your site before purchasing the products you promote.

How can you determine if your website attracts the right traffic and the intentions of your site visitors?

If most of your traffic is from search engines, you can look at keyword intent to identify whether you’re attracting the right traffic.

Generally, there are 4 types of keyword intents:

Page 8: PinAff 2 · 2020. 11. 22. · To get started with affiliate marketing, you [ll need to choose a niche topic for your site, choose products based on the niche, and start creating content

Navigational, where users search for a particular website.

Informational, where users search for the answer to a question.

Investigational, where users search for information that may eventually lead to a transaction.

Transactional, where users are ready to buy.

As an affiliate marketer, you’ll want to rank your website for investigational keywords. Your potential prospects use investigational keywords when they try to compare products and search for reviews and recommendations.

Some of the phrases you’ll often see in investigational keywords are:

Best

Review

Comparison alternative

So I create a site about babies with 3-5 articles that all have affiliate links in them. Now you want the articles very generic like, "3 steps to raising an independent adult", "Best baby toys" Then at the end put the affiliate link to a course for Clickbank or Amazon Affiliate.

2. Create 10-100 Pinterest Accounts

You can also buy 200 accounts for just $ 5 here I will show you 4 easy steps of creating your own Pinterest account. Let`s go!

Choose your topics of interest

Page 9: PinAff 2 · 2020. 11. 22. · To get started with affiliate marketing, you [ll need to choose a niche topic for your site, choose products based on the niche, and start creating content

You know that Pinterest isn`t so huge as other social media platforms used for business. however, an informational flow there is moving with the same speed. So, the first thing you should do is to choose the topics that you will follow here.

Page 10: PinAff 2 · 2020. 11. 22. · To get started with affiliate marketing, you [ll need to choose a niche topic for your site, choose products based on the niche, and start creating content

When you choose what you want, Pinterest can make better suggestions of who you should follow.

Pick topics, then click on the button “Follow people” on the bottom of the page. You will see some static images of people that you are following, based on the topics that you`ve selected.

Create boards Pinterest account

The next thing that you should do is to choose a pinboard. It could have a title like “Products I love”, “For the home” and others. You can add pinboards with the custom names – just click on the “Add” button.

You can create as many boards as you like. There is also an option of editing titles of Boards you`ve created or delete them in one moment. Allow other people to contribute to your boards by clicking the “Edit” button at the bottom of the board. After that, find the button “Who can pin?” and change the setting from “Just me” to “Me+Contributors”. You have to follow at least one board

belonging to a Pinterest member in order to add this member as a contributor to your boards.

Install the “Pin it” button and just start pingingPin it

When you`ve created some boards, the platform will send you to a page where you can install a bookmarklet named “Pin it” in your browser. Such button is installed in your browser`s bookmarks, so when you find images on a website that you want to pin, the only thing you should do is to click on the button. The app will open, and you will see a grid of thumbnails of all the images available on the website.

Pinterest also gives you an ability to share pinned images through other platforms with the buttons like “Tweet your Pin” or Share on Facebook”.

Get social

Now, when you have a basic knowledge about what to do with the content on Pinterest, you can start finding, connecting and sharing it with other Pinterest members.

With the help of a search bar on in the top left-hand corner of the Pinterest home page, you can find anything that you need – members, images or boards. Following a board places, it on your Pinterest homepage allows you to visit Board any time to see and interact with any updates made to it.

You can put a like to an image using Pinterest`s like button, or you can put a like using Facebook like button at the side of the Pin`s page.

Now, what you are going to do is create a pyramid of your Pinterest accounts

The top guy in green in your main Pinterest account. The 4 accounts under that do nothing put repin what you post on the green account, then the accounts on level 3 repost the pins of the accounts on level 2 which are really just repinned of the posts on level 1

This makes sense but by the end of the day, what you post on account 1 gets repinned 9-99 times.

Now you set up the accounts on a follow bot. Start on slow setting for the first month then scale up to following like 300-500/day on each account.

Using FollowingLikeII, Mass Planner, Autopin, Ninja Pinner, PinPinterest, Pinterest Booster, Board Booster, Tailwind, etc.

4. Content

For posting content, you just take pictures from Google or steal photos from other Pinterest pages by dragging the photos to desktop and reposting them.

DOWNLOAD PINTEREST IMAGES ON DESKTOP

Unfortunately, Pinterest doesn’t give an option to download images on a desktop. You will have to use the native download feature of your browser.

Here are the steps.

Step 1: Open the Pinterest website on your PC. Then click the photo

that you want to download.

Step 2: On the next screen, hover your mouse over the image and right click on it. Click Save image as. You will be asked to choose the name and location for downloading the image. Finally, click Save.

NOTE: Make sure to right click on the image itself and not somewhere else.

HOW TO DOWNLOAD ALL THE IMAGES FROM A PINTEREST BOARD

In case you want to download multiple images from a Pinterest Board on your PC, we have a solution for that as well. You will need to use a Chrome extension that goes by the name Image Downloader. The extension isn’t limited to Pinterest only. You can use it to download multiple images from any website.

Here are the steps:

Step 1: Open Chrome on PC. Then click here to add Image

Downloader Chrome extension. When the extension loads, click the Add to Chrome button.

Step 2: Once installed, you will see the Image Downloader icon in the

top bar of Chrome. Now open Pinterest and navigate to the Board from where you want to download images.

the Select All option. If you don’t want to download an image, click it once in the pop-up window. It will be removed from the selection.

Step 4: Finally, hit the Download button. You will get a warning

notification saying that if your Chrome setting is set to Always ask the location before

downloading, multiple download windows will open. If you are okay with that, click yes. Otherwise click No.

To avoid multiple save windows, we need to check the download settings first. For that, click the three-dot icon at the top-right corner of Chrome and select Settings from the menu.

Page 18: PinAff 2 · 2020. 11. 22. · To get started with affiliate marketing, you [ll need to choose a niche topic for your site, choose products based on the niche, and start creating content

Under Settings, click Advanced. Then, uncheck the option that says ‘Ask where to save each file before downloading’ under Downloads. After disabling it, repeat step 3 and 4. Now when the extension asks you to continue the download, click on Yes. Chrome will download all the images on that page.

For example, I'll find the most popular parenting page and download all their photos.

Add a link to your affiliate site on every picture. Do not repin other peoples pictures post your own so you can add your own link.

5. Keep making improvements.

Soon you'll be able to see which kinds of pictures have the most click and keep posting those kinds.

Which pages have the most affiliate sales so write more pages like that.

Which affiliate products have the best conversion rate. Etc.

You kind of need to know what you're doing for this method. You can be fairly new but not a complete affiliate marketing newbie.

6. Make money

Keep improving your content and adding more Pinterest accounts and watch your pyramid grow into a good income.

IDEAS & BEST PRACTICES FOR PINTEREST AFFILIATE MARKETING

So you know how to create pins with affiliate links. Now let’s talk about how to get the most out of your pins.

#1: RECOMMEND RELEVANT PRODUCTS

The first step here is to make sure that your pins are relevant to your audience.

Here are some niches and items that would be relevant to one another:

Fitness: heart rate monitor, Crossfit equipment, workout at home gear

Outdoors: hiking equipment, tents, water bottles, backpacks

Home living: Stylish bar stools, kitchen knives, TV sets

Dogs: Food, bowls, collars

Crafts: DIY tools, craft supplies

Internet marketing: Software, marketing tools, courses

Page 20: PinAff 2 · 2020. 11. 22. · To get started with affiliate marketing, you [ll need to choose a niche topic for your site, choose products based on the niche, and start creating content

You want to offer your audience things that could help them. It will not help you to spam affiliate links to all sorts of products. Know what your audience wants and offer them good solutions to get it.

#2: TEST LINKING TO BUYING GUIDES OR REVIEWS

This will depend a bit on your niche. It might be a good idea to test for how you get the most sales. I would try linking straight to the affiliate product from Pinterest and linking to a review or buying guide on your website if you have one.

You will have to have good tracking for this method, but it’s not too difficult. The first thing you’ll need is to have separate links for your Pinterest post and for your buying guides. This isn’t a problem in Amazon Associates.

From the Associates dashboard, click on your email address. Then click

on Manage Your Tracking IDs.

Once you’re there, you want to click Add Tracking ID.

Page 21: PinAff 2 · 2020. 11. 22. · To get started with affiliate marketing, you [ll need to choose a niche topic for your site, choose products based on the niche, and start creating content

Name it something so that you remember that it’s going on Pinterest.

Spend the next month or so comparing these tracking IDs. Send some of your pins straight to the affiliate product and other pins to your buying guides or reviews. Compare the results after about a month and see what’s bringing in the most conversions for you.

#3: DISCLOSE AFFILIATE RELATIONS & AVOID LINK CLOAKING

Almost all affiliate networks will require that you have some disclosure to an affiliate relation. This is due to FTC requirements for affiliate networks. You should always disclose these relationships in your pins. Amazon in particular has a specific line you have to say:

“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”

That disclosure changes, so be sure to check up on Amazon Associate’s TOS.

You’ll also have to pass on link cloaking. Pinterest’s Acceptable Use Policy makes it clear that your viewers should know where they’re going. No

Page 22: PinAff 2 · 2020. 11. 22. · To get started with affiliate marketing, you [ll need to choose a niche topic for your site, choose products based on the niche, and start creating content

Geni.us, no Bitly, no Pretty Links, nothing. I think that Amazon’s short links would be an exception to this, but I would stick with the full URL links just in case.

7. Quit your day job.

Haha isn't that always the last step?

I'm pretty sure I left a bunch of details out so if anything is unclear just drop your questions below and I'll get back to them.

Bonus: No cost easy way to earn startup cash $20 - $100+ a day Pinterest method

I know that $20 - $100 a day might not be a lot for some people but I'm sure to the majority of new users here it's rent, or some startup cash for inventory etc. Also the other part about this is that there are no costs involved, of course some sort of a budget from the earnings down the road might be a good idea and its tough in the beginning but it pays off.

I'll lay out the method here so that if it's something you are already aware of

you can skip reading the rest. The method involves Pinterest and group boards. I created some large group boards and also got invited to dozens of others in the

same niche. Lets use jewelry and eCommerce/sales as an example. You could

create a bunch of boards promoting handmade jewelry and also ask to join already established ones or likewise they could be shopping group boards for

gifts etc. 9 out of 10 boards allow members to invite other members so find

boards that allow you to invite others if they are not boards you made yourself.

Page 23: PinAff 2 · 2020. 11. 22. · To get started with affiliate marketing, you [ll need to choose a niche topic for your site, choose products based on the niche, and start creating content

Once you have 10 or more large group boards on your profile you can start doing two things to earn money from them.

1) Sell invites to these boards. If they are sales, eCommerce boards you can invite other small business owners to pin to the board. Explain that Pinterest is one of the top drivers of traffic online. Also mention how pins don't peak in traffic until they are around 4 months old, so they will get lots of traffic for months and months from pinning there. 2) Sell pins. You can sell promotion to the same audience by telling them you will pin their items from their site or where they have them listed directly to these boards. Explain how the boards have thousands of followers and get literally hundreds of thousands of views each week. Again explain the longevity of pins and how they will be getting a good ROI using this method for a long time to come.

To sell the invites and the pins you can make an account on Fiverr or similar micro job sites. Use good keywords to get the listings out there and share them in places that your demographic hang out. If its handmade jewelry or eCommerce try Etsy users. if its mlm, work from home stuff try posting to some groups on Facebook etc and on company pages so that all the distributors of that company see it. Say that if they are not using this method to generate sales and signups then their

competitors are.

This is one of many methods I use to generate a steady income each month. I

would say I get about $2,000 - $2,500 a month on average from this method

without doing much promotion at all. In fact now that it has been going for a while

its a lot less time than I had to put in at the start. so granted it was not always that

amount each month nor was it less time like it is now. I have also found some great

clients doing this too for higher priced services and subscription packages. I might

offer a social media management package or a reputation

Page 24: PinAff 2 · 2020. 11. 22. · To get started with affiliate marketing, you [ll need to choose a niche topic for your site, choose products based on the niche, and start creating content

package etc. If they seem like they will be easy to work with I push other services to them.

This method would be a great method for a noob to start off with to earn some

cash to spend on apps, bots etc. There is no reason why someone could not

scale this up and have a huge site offering invites to pages and earning 4 figures

a day. I have priced it various ways via different accounts. Sometimes I offered 5

invites for $5 15 for $10 and 30 for $15, but I soon realized that Pinterest had

put a limit on invites so I would hit blocks and be unable to send any more

invites out. So I changed the prices to $5 for 1 invite $20 for 5 and $100 for 35

and I get people buying at every level. If they buy just one I direct them to my

other service offering a pinning service so that they can pay me to do it instead

of doing it themselves.

I also set up the quick replies on Fiverr so that when an order comes in i am able to

do it in a matter of minutes and mark it as complete right away with a standard

message that I can populate in one click. I wake up and take about 10 minutes to do

3 or 4 orders and move on to the next thing on my list for the day. In terms of

dollars per hour its in the hundreds which is not bad. If I could find a dozen things

that paid me a few hundred dollars an hour I would be really happy lol.
