A successful Pinterest strategy just requires some planning. First, sign up for a Pinterest business account. Then consider how you’ll direct other pinners to your site or another destination where you can earn an income.

1. Become a Pinterest Virtual Assistant

Pinterest virtual assistants run accounts for other users. You can create pins, promote them, and schedule content for brands. If you want to earn money as a Pinterest VA, create your own account to show your abilities. Then market your services on your website or contact your favorite brands to offer your services.

2. Choose a company to promote, and ask for sponsorship.

Target a group, and build your Pinterest followers as we discussed above. Then select companies offering products that appeal to your audience. Staying with our “fitness” audience, you could approach companies that sell gym machines, or sports drinks.

Share your Pinterest account’s statistics with the companies you approach, and ask for sponsorship.

3. Promote affiliate products.

Many companies want affiliates who will promote their products for a small commission on the sales that result. Find companies that sell products you can promote, and sign up as an affiliate. Then promote the products on your boards, using your affiliate links.

Regarding spamming. Periodically Pinterest takes action against affiliate marketing spammers. If you get caught up in this, link your pins to your own website, where you can use affiliate links.

4. Offer Pinterest-only Campaigns

Offering an exclusive promo code to Pinterest users is another great way to use Pinterest to drive sales to your e-commerce store.

Since Pinners can stumble across your Pin in their home feeds, special promotions are quite successful and work exceptionally well all year. Plus, delivering a limited-time coupon only available on Pinterest generates a feeling of urgency, which may increase clicks and interaction on your account

5. Virtual Assistant

Pinterest virtual assistants are in high demand right now. What does a Pinterest virtual assistant do? Basically, you are in charge of managing the Pinterest presence for a blogger or business owner.

Typical tasks for a Pinterest virtual assistant include designing Pinterest graphics, creating boards, scheduling Pins, doing group board outreach, and more! Pinterest virtual assistants can expect to earn $25 to $50 per hour or more depending on experience and skillset.

In order to become a Pinterest virtual assistant, you do need a few skills. I recommend keeping up with Pinterest marketing trends, learning how to use a Pinterest scheduling tool like Tailwind, and familiarizing yourself with graphic design software such as Photoshop or Canva.

Thank you for your Valuable Time 💫
