I know you’re really excited to learn more, so let’s talk more about monetizing with Pinterest today!
HOW TO MAKE MONEY ON PINTEREST 2022
When I first used Pinterest to pin my favorite home décor and DIY crafts to my boards, I had no idea that you could make money online using Pinterest. The thought never crossed my mind because I was just a normal user looking for something beautiful, relevant, helpful, and inspiring.
Where else would I have gotten the idea to make money by flipping furniture for a profit? From DIY Pinterest content creators!
Beyond all of what I just said, I soon learned that Pinterest is a search engine (NOT a social media) where users look for inspiration and solutions to their problems.
This is where making money on Pinterest becomes possible for you and I’m going to go through everything you’ll want to know about earning money with Pinterest!
How Much Money Can You Make On Pinterest?
How would you react if I told you that you could make $20, $50, $100, or even more than $200 per day on Pinterest?
And nope, these side hustle ideas don’t require experience at all.
I personally started with absolutely no experience but eventually learned how to earn money with Pinterest during my spare time to make money online!
STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE: HOW TO MAKE MONEY ON PINTEREST
There are two popular ways to make money on Pinterest.
One way is to start a money-making blog
(my top recommendation), and the other method doesn’t require a blog, which I talk more about later on.
In either case, you don’t need any experience to start!
I, myself, started with NO experience and was able to eventually make over $5,000 per month at my own pace within the first year (I will mention later that I struggled for many months before making my first $1,000)!
And trust me, I’m not special in any way!
In fact, I had A LOT of self-doubts because I always thought you had to be either really tech-savvy or a great writer to start a blog and make money on Pinterest. But no, this is far from the truth!
As long as you have basic computer skills such as typing (which most of us do in 2022) AND you have a strong willingness to learn and actually implement what I’m about to say, then you are ready to start using Pinterest to your advantage.
1. START A BLOG FOR REALLY CHEAP
I highly recommend starting a self-hosted blog withTHIS web hosting company before you learn how to make money on Pinterest.
I personally started my blog with them too when I was a beginner and wanted to give blogging a try.
I know you might be thinking of starting a blog for free on WordPress.com or Blogger, but DO NOT go that route!
It would be near impossible to make money when you sign up for a free blog because no one will take you seriously.
2. WRITE RELEVANT AND HELPFUL CONTENT.
Now that you’ve started a blog, write 5-10 blog posts related to your niche that will solve your readers’ problems.
Before you start writing, take a step back and figure out who your target audience is.
I always recommend choosing something you enjoy talking about.
Don’t choose a topic just because you think it will make money. Sure, it may work out, but can you really keep writing about something you don’t have a genuine interest in?
The last thing you want is your blog to feel like a chore.
This diagram will help you determine what you can write about while solving your readers’ problems.
3. SET UP A PINTEREST BUSINESS ACCOUNT.
Start your Pinterest journey and take your first step in monetizing Pinterest by
signing up for a business Pinterest account.
This is 100% free to sign up for and use. But before you create a business Pinterest account.
💡 pro Tips
Make sure to include relevant keywords in your profile bio. This will allow user to find you more easily.
4. CREATE PINTEREST BOARD AND PINS.
Now you can start creating boards and making pins for your Pinterest account. I recommend using canva to make pins when you’re a beginner. The service is free and easy to use.
Like your bio description from step #3, make sure to sprinkle relevant keywords into your personal boards and pin descriptions. By the way, when I say “sprinkle” I don’t mean keyword stuffing! In the past, I’ve made the mistake of stuffing keywords in my pins. It’s no wonder why I wasn’t getting any traffic when I first started. Without any traffic to my blog, there was no way for me to make money on Pinterest, so don’t make the same mistake!
5. JOIN GROUP BOARDS AND MAKE NEW PERSONAL BOARD EVERY MONTHS.
When you read other bloggers’ posts on how they increased their Pinterest traffic by over 1,500% and made money on Pinterest, they will harp a lot on joining group boards. You’ll hear:
I assume these posts haven’t been updated after Pinterest made changes earlier this year.
Though I still recommend joining group boards that are relevant to your niche, I’ve heard from established bloggers that Pinterest has shifted its focus to personal boards. In addition to that, Pinterest favors smaller group boards (relevant to your niche) with fewer contributors.
With that said , Focus on making new personal boards while joining some high-quality group boards with fewer contributors.
💡 pro Tips: Another alternative to joining group boards is to start using Tailwind Communities. This will allow you to upload your pins to each tribe (like a group board) where members will share them. Aside from the Communities feature, I also use Tailwind to schedule my pins to both group boards and my own personal boards. Since using Tailwind, my traffic increased from 500 to over 1,500 daily page views (sometimes hitting as high as 4,000 per day)!
How To Make Money On Pinterest With A BLOG
You are now ready to learn how to make money on Pinterest after you've mastered the following:
● Wrote 5-10 epic blog articles related to your niche that is inspiring and/or solve a problem.
● Signed up for a Pinterest business account and verified your domain.
● CREATE 👁 Eye Catching PINS with click able images and titles ✨️
● Joined a minimum of 10 groups boards and made a 10 personal boards related to your niche.
● optimize your bio profile, pins, boards by relevant keywords.
Here are 2 ways you can start making money on Pinterest after having your blog and Pinterest account set up!
1. DRIVE TRAFFIC TO YOUR BLOG.
When Pinterest is used correctly and consistently, you can drive a lot of traffic to your blog and make money through display advertising.
Again, you need to write blog posts that are helpful to your readers!
Depending on how many ads you put and which ad network you’re with, you can potentially make between $6 to $20 per 1,000 page views each day.
2. HOW TO MAKE MONEY ON PINTEREST WITH AFFILIATE LINKS.
On top of making money with Adsense or Mediavine, you can also make money on Pinterest using affiliate links. This is also known as the affiliate marketing strategy. Learning how to use affiliate marketing on Pinterest to make money can make a huge difference to your earning potential!
There are two ways to doing that — with and without a blog.
I’m going to first talk about how to achieve this using the blog method. Again, this is my preferred method because it has worked well for me.
First, let’s talk about how to make money on Pinterest by driving traffic to your blog posts that have affiliate links.
This first approach is my favorite way to make money because, for one, you earn from display advertising by getting traffic; and secondly, you earn from potential affiliate sales when you offer a solution to your readers’ problems.
For example, you can create and promote a pin like this one here that teaches readers how to save money on food which includes affiliate links in the blog post.
💡priceless tips :Don’t be afraid to invest in the right blogging education. There’s no such thing as 100% guaranteed returns (nothing in life is guaranteed). But think about how much money you spend at concerts, going out with friends, and on the daily Starbucks lattes. What’s a small investment worth to you? I’ve said this many times and I will say it again. Investing in yourself is the best investment you could ever make!
It’s not the Bitcoin, weed stock or penny stock that are the best investments…
