Here’s how I made nearly 100 bucks with Pinterest + affiliate marketing.

How I made money with Pinterest affiliate marketing

I decided over the past few weeks to get more serious about Pinterest affiliate marketing. I started designing Pinterest pins in Canva that linked to my blog posts.

I made one pin that linked to a post with an affiliate product promoted and earned a commission within a few days worth nearly $100!

That’s how I did it!

Amplify your results by doing this for all your blog posts or content that you want to promote with Pinterest.

Tips to make the most out of Pinterest affiliate marketing

First, make sure you’re following Pinterest’s affiliate guidelines. You can read them here.

Their affiliate link guide is great, outlining what to do, what not to do, and even sharing some affiliate programs/networks to join.

Next, mix things up. It can be easy to post only your content. To avoid being suspended for spam, pin your content and others’ content.

Speaking as someone who has been suspended twice on Pinterest (by accident), it is possible to regain your account but, it’ll take a few days up to a week or a few weeks which can slow down your progress.

There’s no guarantee your account will be regained either, so, it’s best to abide by their guidelines and avoid spammy actions.
