Affiliate Marketing On Pinterest Without A Blog

pinterest

You can pin a blog post about how to save money on travel which includes affiliate links in the post.  Since Affiliate links weren’t allowed directly on Pinterest, directing people to a blog post which contained Affiliate links was a great strategy – and still is!

What I have done is to make whole blog posts around Etsy products that I want to promote and then created pins for that blog post.  I had never tried anything except using Pinterest to bring people to my blog posts that had affiliate links in them. One of the most effective ways to make money on Pinterest without a blog is to create custom pins for your affiliate links. Because of this I included less affiliate links in posts or avoided different types of posts that I thought would be too pushy.

INCOME

Now that you have a better idea what affiliate marketing is, let’s dive into McKinzie’s tips to crush affiliate marketing on Pinterest!  For beginners, it may take a while to make money with Pinterest affiliate marketing without a blog ( one month for me ).

 Today I ‘m sharing three methods you can use to combine Pinterest and affiliate marketing and start making some passive income.  Just repeat the process 5 – 10 times per work day to build an affiliate income on Pinterest over time without a website.

 You can replicate the method to every affiliate link thus creating many passive streams of income, without a single blog post!

I love Pinterest affiliate marketing so much that I even created a more detailed course all about how to do it effectively!

ACCOUNT /TRAFFIC /DRIVE

 So now that you have your own website and your Pinterest account set up to drive traffic to your blog, let’s get to the nitty – gritty of how to actually make money.  One of the reasons why I love Pinterest so much is because you don’t need to have a large following to drive traffic to your blog.  For whatever niche your blog or Pinterest account is related to, click the different ShareASale categories and pick the offer that most reignites with your audience.

This is a strategy worth knowing about even before you start monetizing or putting advertisements on your blog ( if you have a blog ) because it is something that anyone can do if they already have an established Pinterest account!

PLATFORM / TRAFFIC / PRODUCE

And since ShareASale is also approved by Pinterest, this is hands down the best way to make money through affiliate marketing and your Pinterest traffic.  Again, Pinterest is a super great social platform that can possibly produce a tremendous amount of high quality online traffic and exposure to your pins that end up possibly producing a lot of affiliate link clicks and purchases.

But, as they improved their platform and technology to combat those spammers we now are allowed to do affiliate marketing on Pinterest again! The best part about Pinterest affiliate marketing is the ease of putting great content out and creating pins to drive traffic to it.  I bet it’s just a matter of time that you can make lots of affiliate sales through Pinterest just when you get a creative, helpful, informative, and appealing pin going viral within the social channel.

 MONEY /WAYS /PAYING / MAKE /STARTED

 Some users have created boards dedicated solely to ways to make money; check them out for inspiration for ways you can earn extra money. This can help you pay off debt faster, save money for a downpayment on a home, or make paying the bills each month easier.

If you haven’t started a Pinterest account, go do this now and come back to this post so you can start making money! Today you’re going to learn the RIGHT way to use Pinterest so you can make money online, pay your bills, and start living the life that you ‘ve always wanted. If you want to earn money from your pinning habit, here are a few ways to turn your Pinterest obsessions into an online money – making opportunity.    

COURSE / CLICKS

In fact, my affiliate pins for the Pin To Profits – Affiliate Marketing course have gotten over 1,000 clicks in a month!  It is a video course with 6 modules covering what affiliate marketing is, how to register for affiliate programs, how to use affiliate links on Pinterest, and how to get thousands of clicks on your affiliate links. I suppose Pinterest affiliate marketing is one of the easiest methods that you can carry out your affiliate marketing campaigns by.

Pat Flynn of smartpassiveincome.com, who has made $ 4.2 million in affiliate sales, said at a recent conference that affiliate marketing is like planting seeds. ShareASale is a giant in the affiliate marketing industry and they have so many offers to choose from with great commission rates.

STRATEGY /BELIEVE / EBOOKS / APPLY

Another thing that I believed helped me have success with this program so quickly was the ebook Pinteresting Strategies by Carly Campbell.

I ‘ve purchased many eBooks about this technique ( before I launched this blog ), so I could use this strategy waaaaaay before being able to apply to such ad networks such as MediaVine to monetize my site using ads.

Elise made her first affiliate sale within 24 hours of implementing her strategy and although I was skeptical, I couldn’t believe the jump in my affiliate sales and traffic as soon as I followed her instructions to the letter. Now I have to say that I wasn’t thrilled to pay for this in the beginning, but since investing in this tool it’s changed everything for me in terms of marketing my blog’s content and being able to finally apply affiliate strategies like this one!

SITE / BUTTON / SAVE / CONTENT

You can also save content from a website by using the Save button ( if available ), or with theA Pinterest browser button. These simple – to – integrate buttons direct your site visitors to either check out your Pinterest account or actually pin your site’s content on their own accounts. Add a hovering Pin It button to any image on any of your sites or your phone app through Pinterest directly.

 Instead, in order to tell your brand story in a natural and authentic way, we recommend you also save non – affiliate content, by saving Pins that already exist on Pinterest, or interesting content directly from the web. For any of your Rich Pins to have even the potential to direct traffic to your site, you need to get them validated on the Pinterest site itself.

 PROGRAM / EBOOK / BOOK / COMPANY

You can also search ‘Company Name’ + ‘Affiliate Program’ on Google, and the affiliate program page will come up if the company has one. However, many ebook authors will not let you into their affiliate program unless you buy their course or book, so what can you do?

Create an E – book – another good option to take when promoting affiliate links is through an e – book. If you want to become an affiliate for my ebook, Affiliate Action Plan, just click here and follow the link at the bottom. Go directly to the company’s website and look at the bottom of the home page to see if ‘Affiliate’ or ‘Become an affiliate’ is listed.

If you have taken some courses or bought some ebooks and want to promote them, it’s worth seeing if there is an affiliate program you can join.

 IMAGE / UPLOAD / PRODUCT

Go to Pinterest after having the right link, add a new pin, paste the affiliate link in the “website” section, upload the correct product image, copy and paste the title, and describe the product with related keywords.

So what we want to do is in Tailwind on your scheduled pins screen, we want to click the ‘Create New Pin’ tab and upload an image by clicking the ‘Upload Images’ tab. Now we are going to upload the image that you saved to your computer ( the downloaded image from Canva ).

Simply create a pin using your affiliate link, pin it to your Pinterest account and wait for someone to click on it. Find the appropriate link in your account or use our bookmarklet to grab a link on the fly and then paste it into the pin’s Website URL!

INFLUENCER

The most popular niches for Pinterest Influencer Marketing are “Fashion “, “Cosmetic & Beauty Products(Make – Up ) “, and “Home Decor” etc. Pinterest doesn’t just give you the platform, they are creating educational marketing materials to teach you how to maximize its effectiveness for marketing your business. Check out these Pinterest – related jobs that include working as a campaign manager or marketing coordinator for a company that uses Pinterest in their marketing strategy.

Good places to start off your Pinterest influencer marketing campaigns on are a bunch like Fiverr, Upwork, Freelancer.com as such freelance gig marketplaces, or more helpfully on more dedicated social influence marketing platforms like “Loop 88 “.

 It’s now becoming a new normal since the time companies and brands recognized the importance of influencer marketing AKA “Viral Marketing “.

ACCOUNT /LOOK

Having a Business account on Pinterest is super important if you want to make money because it makes your account look legitimate. If you don’t have a Pinterest account yet, then go ahead and click here to apply to Pinterest, make sure it is a business account and create at the very least 10 boards. If you look at my Pinterest profile now, you can see that I am a member of currently 22 group boards.

If you don’t have an account already, or if your account is personal, you’re going to need to sign up for an official Pinterest for Business account in order to tap into the full potential of Pinterest’s marketing potency. If you know what the most popular Pinterest categories are, then you’ll have a better idea of which boards will work for your business.

FOLLOWERS / BRAND     

If you are commenting on these popular pins, your brand name will be seen by the huge number of people who follow those boards.

Now that you know what kinds of pins are popular and how to get your pins seen, the next step in Pinterest marketing is to use your pins to build relationships with followers and influencers that will grow your reach.

So what’s the most considerable factor to win traffic from Pinterest is neither how large your currently existing following base, nor how many fans you have for your pins and boards unlike other social media.     

And to make it easier to happen, especially when you’re a beginner with just none to few followers, I highly recommend you to join in “pinterest group boards” as a contributor so you can share all the already existing followers ready to see your pins you publish.

COMMISSION / PURCHASE / RECEIVE / COST

Should you make a purchase or sign – up through my links, I will receive a commission at no extra cost to you. This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may receive a small commission, at no cost to you, if you make a purchase.

This post may contain affiliate links which means that if you make a purchase using one I could receive a small commission. This post may contain affiliate links, which means I earn a small commission if you purchase something I recommend- at no additional cost to you!

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. If after reading this post, you decide to purchase her course through my link for $ 47, I earn a 30 % commission for that sale.

 TAILWIND / START / ACCUMULATING / WEEK / VIDEOS

 The great thing about this is that you can spend one day a week setting this up on Tailwind and Tailwind will do all the work for you!

Also, if you want to start making money straight away with this technique then you need to have Tailwind in your back pocket ( about one hour a week is all you need ). Once you understand the two, you can set this up very quickly and start doing this weekly ongoing for years and years to come! It’s really simple, nice and easy to do and apply and the good thing about this method is that once you get the ball rolling it’ll take on a snowball like an effect that’ll just keep accumulating and accumulating traffic over time.

IDEAS / HOME / TIPS / KITCHEN

People visit Pinterest for new ideas to try a from food recipes to home decor ideas to fashion tips and more. Whether I ‘m looking for travel tips, home decor ideas, beauty hacks, or even minimalist living tips – I can find it all on Pinterest.

Cooking Bloggers – Create boards + pins for your favorite kitchen tools, cookbooks, aprons and even appliances for your dream kitchen.

KNOWLEDGE / TAX / WAITING / SCHEDULED

When you pin popular pins ( pins with a high re – pin count ), it will help your profile rank better in Pinterest.  Pin 5 – 7 pins in the morning, another 5 – 7 pins at lunch time, and then another 5 – 7 in the evening.  As you can see in your Tailwind schedule already that the pins you scheduled are all waiting there to be sent out to Pinterest.

She also has a Canva 2.0 Masterclass if you have the basic knowledge of it but need more in depth knowledge to create pins that convert!

 There are five different types of Rich Pins, all loaded with more information than your average pin for serious sales power. I understand that you want to grow own Pinterest profile so you can make money, but pinning people’s pins can actually help you!

LEARNING / COURSES / MONTH / EMAIL

The course creator makes $ 100,000 per month from her blog, so I knew that I would be learning from the best. It’s totally worth the monthly fee because it’s super easy to create email courses AND give away freebies in just a few simple steps.

 I mean really ready, so I purchased lots of courses / eBooks and I signed up for all the email courses that I could get my hands on. It only costs $ 2.95 USD per month to start your own blog when you sign up for the Basic Plan through my tutorial.

 Now before we end it here, and like I said earlier, if you don’t have a blog or are just learning the ropes?

LIFE / WORK / COACHING / SUCCESSFUL

Coaching will impact your life, and you will achieve peak performance in life and business when you have a life coach.  Wake up every morning by speaking positive words into your work, love what you do, and focus on the work that brings you joy.

It does not matter if they are setting up a business, a career, or financial projections; they have the success habit of setting short term goals.
