Want to learn how to learn how to grow and monetize your Pinterest ASAP? Well this is just the video for you because I’m going to …
- 0:00 | I know a lot of you absolutely love the last
Pinterest affiliate market and tutorial. - 0:03 | So today we’re going to get into a
more in -depth step by step so I can - 0:06 | go over all of the questions that were left
unanswered in the last video. In this video, - 0:10 | you’re going to be learning how to make $10
,000 a month with Pinterest. So that includes - 0:14 | learning how to pick a profitable niche, how
to find high -convert and affiliate products, - 0:18 | and how to correctly tag these pins
to promote your chosen product. - 0:21 | The best thing is you don’t need any
experience or any money to get this all - 0:24 | set up. All you’re going to need is Wi -Fi
and a laptop or a phone, and that’s about - 0:28 | it. By the end of this video, you’re going
to have my exact $0 to $10 ,000 strategy, - 0:32 | so you can go off and make those sweet commissions
ASAP. Now, before we get into the video, - 0:36 | you know the drill that will quickly introduce
myself for those of you who are new here. Hi, - 0:40 | I’m Gian. I’m here to help you run up a bag online
so you can live the laptop lifestyle you deserve. - 0:44 | Now, if that sounds good, go ahead and drop
me a laptop emoji down in the comments, - 0:48 | and let’s get right into the video. So I feel like
most of you do know what affiliate marketing is, - 0:52 | but for those of you who are completely new
to this, affiliate marketing is basically a - 0:55 | business model where you promote someone
else’s product or services and earn a - 0:59 | commission for every sale or referral you make.
Now, why should you choose Pinterest for affiliate - 1:03 | marketing specifically? Well, with over 450
million market users, Pinterest remains one of - 1:09 | the best free traffic methods out there right now,
so you never have to spend a single penny on ads. - 1:13 | Firstly, what you’ll need to do is choose your
niche. Choosing the right niche is essential for - 1:18 | affiliate marketing, and trust me, over the years,
I’ve had a lot of hits and misses, but it’s really - 1:22 | a simple formula when it comes down to Pinterest.
What you need to be aiming for is niches that you - 1:26 | know have very visually appealing products in
them, and what I mean by that is things like, - 1:30 | let’s say fashion or interior
design or food or even fitness, - 1:34 | basically niches that you know you can collect
aesthetic images to promote your product. - 1:37 | To give you a real -life example, because a lot
of you have asked me why I don’t actually have a - 1:41 | finance -based Pinterest, and that’s simply
because there weren’t that many people that - 1:45 | will turn in to Pinterest for finance advice,
so it was a lot harder for my pins to go viral, - 1:50 | and when they did, they barely got any
conversions. At this moment in time, - 1:53 | my top performing Pinterest accounts are
in the lifestyle and the home decor niches, - 1:58 | and these two accounts alone are exactly
what got me to $14 ,000 in one month. - 2:02 | Once you’ve decided on a niche, you need
to find good affiliate product. I know one - 2:05 | of the main questions that was asked the most
under my last video was what affiliate programs - 2:09 | specifically to sign up for, and I honestly can’t
tell you because it really depends on your niche. - 2:14 | This is where you’re going to have to go
off and do your own research to find the - 2:17 | top affiliate programs in your chosen niche,
because there’s significantly better paying - 2:21 | programs than the Amazon Partner Program, for
example. Now you can find products on affiliate - 2:25 | marketplaces like ClickBank or Amazon.
All what you can do that I personally - 2:30 | recommend is you go on Google and
type in best affiliate programs in - 2:33 | your chosen niche. So you actually have to go
off and find that yourself which like I said, - 2:36 | can be done very quickly with a Google search.
And to clarify, you get these links from these - 2:41 | platforms that you’ve signed up for. So if you
decide that you wanna promote a product that’s on - 2:45 | Amazon, you would sign up for the Amazon Affiliate
Program and the Amazon Affiliate Program is where - 2:49 | you’re gonna be generating your link that you
can put on your Pinterest and also this is the - 2:53 | platform that you’re gonna be getting paid for.
This goes for any other platform that you decide - 2:57 | to sign up for. Also make sure that you put in
your bank details or your PayPal so you don’t - 3:01 | miss out on a payout. Obviously they’re
not gonna take your money, they’ll just - 3:04 | hold it until you add your bank details.
But yeah, once you find some products that - 3:07 | you would like to promote in your niche, whatever
program they might be on, you’ll want to generate - 3:12 | the links and put them to one side for now. So you
can move into optimizing your Pinterest account. - 3:17 | Now having a good Pinterest account is important
because while people still buy products without - 3:20 | ever actually seeing your page first, you do still
wanna build a following and in order for people - 3:24 | to follow you, they need to like what they’re
seeing. Now before any kind of customization, - 3:28 | you wanna make sure that you switch over
to a business account if you haven’t done - 3:31 | that already and you can do this in the account
settings. Now from here you wanna add an image - 3:35 | or a logo related to your niche as your profile
picture and your banner. Everything has to look - 3:39 | nice and cohesive so you can quickly design this
on camera or people using the pre -made template. - 3:43 | Try to stick to one aesthetic or one
color palette for your profile picture - 3:47 | and your banner. And definitely if you happen
to use a logo or you have text in your banner, - 3:51 | make sure that you’re not using more than three
fonts because then it will look very messy. - 3:54 | A pro tip as well is to revamp the name.
Pinterest themselves will assign you with - 3:58 | a username that will look something like this.
So you want to go back in and come up with a - 4:02 | name that doesn’t have like numbers or weird
letters in it and through your actual name, - 4:06 | you’ll want to add some keywords. So for
example, the brand new Pinterest output - 4:09 | glow of gear and then digital market art
or affiliate marketing or keywords that - 4:14 | are actually searchable. What this does is
make your username search engine optimized. - 4:18 | You have the opportunity to rank in the search
which means you’ll get way more eyes to your - 4:21 | content. This is also the case for your bio
bio so you need to make something short, - 4:25 | sweet, simple and definitely with a few
keywords. The goal of your bio is to - 4:29 | kind of give people an idea of what they’re
signing up for if they happen to follow you. - 4:33 | This you can add a few bullet points into chat
gpt and ask it to write you a short bio. You - 4:37 | don’t have to spend too much time on this and
then you can move into setting up some boards. - 4:41 | Now over the past few years I’ve really learned
the importance of having good boards because back - 4:45 | then I wasn’t too informed so I was just
throwing random pins into random boards - 4:49 | that weren’t very like specialized in anything.
But what I do now that a hundred percent works - 4:53 | is I go to Pinterest trends. Now on here you
can do research on trends in your niche. So - 4:58 | a hack I use is to name boards after the
top searches in my niche because my board - 5:02 | is likely to come up when people search
for these keywords and that obviously - 5:05 | means I’ll get way more eyes to my Pinterest
and of course I’m more likely to get sales. - 5:10 | My best advice is that you have a minimum of
five to ten Pinterest boards with at least - 5:14 | 20 pins in them that relate directly to the
board name. So what I used to do back then - 5:18 | for example was let’s just say streetwear.
So this would be one board by itself. Now - 5:22 | I create boards that are like cargo
pants specifically or leather jackets - 5:27 | specifically or kitten heels specifically. It
has to be like a very specific type of board. - 5:32 | And also another thing that you need to make
sure of is to definitely add an eye catching - 5:36 | picture as the cover for your board. But you can
go ahead and select whatever catches your eye - 5:40 | because obviously you would know best. And from
here you can move into some growth strategies. - 5:44 | Obviously we can all agree that the best way
to grow on Pinterest is to post a lot of pins - 5:48 | consistently. And by a lot of pins I mean
around two to five per day. But the question - 5:52 | is what types of pins should you be posting?
I actually went through all of the pin styles - 5:56 | that I post on my Pinterest so you can go
ahead and check them out in this video right - 5:59 | here. What I typically post is either unique
pins or repurposed pins. Now by unique pins I - 6:04 | mean pins that I’ve actually created.
So to create these pins I use the - 6:08 | templates on Kittal or Canva or what I do is
repurpose content that I find from TikTok, - 6:13 | Instagram or Tumblr. My absolute favorite
place is Instagram because typically you’ll - 6:16 | find fresher content so you’re more likely to go
viral because it’s new to the Pinterest platform. - 6:21 | If you do happen to go this way, always make sure
that you credit the creators though. And also a - 6:25 | top tip is that if you choose to repurpose content
from TikTok on your Pinterest, make sure that you - 6:30 | remove the watermark. This should go without
saying because you know that if you walked into - 6:34 | Burger King with a happy meal on your hand,
you probably wouldn’t get kicked out but - 6:38 | people would definitely be sired out of you.
That’s the exact same thing with Pinterest. - 6:41 | If you’re on their platform promoting
a whole other social media platform, - 6:45 | your account won’t get banned or deleted
but they’ll definitely be sired out in you. - 6:48 | And what will typically happen is that they’ll
limit your reach. So just make sure that you use - 6:52 | something like TikTok Save to remove watermarks
before you upload your pins. Now when it comes to - 6:56 | actually uploading this content, I recommend that
you use a nice mix of standard pins and idea pins. - 7:01 | One thing I’ve noticed from all of my accounts
and all of the accounts that I’ve actually run - 7:05 | for other people in the past is that idea
pins are the best type of pins that you can - 7:08 | post on Pinterest if you’re trying to expand your
reach. So definitely put a little focus on those. - 7:13 | Idea pins are definitely what got me the
most amount of followers and views to my - 7:16 | account. Keep in mind that with standard pins
however, you have the option of tagging products - 7:21 | and adding your custom links to them. So these
pins are basically gonna be your money makers. - 7:25 | To give your standard pins the best
chance of going viral, I recommend, - 7:28 | and as long as this sounds, this is
definitely gonna increase your reach, - 7:31 | that you describe everything that you’re seeing
in the content. So as an example for how I’ll tag - 7:36 | this pin of me on holiday is I would describe
exactly everything I’m seeing in the picture, - 7:40 | like I said. So there’s a knit dress, the knit
dress is orange, there’s braids, it’s an aesthetic - 7:45 | nature shot and so on, you get the gist. Now
the reason why I do this for, I would say all, - 7:50 | but that’s not true, sometimes I do get lazy.
But the reason why I do this for most of my - 7:53 | pins is because you have to understand that
Pinterest is literally just a really good - 7:57 | search engine. But if people type in knit dress,
I’m likely to show up. If they type in orange knit - 8:02 | dress, I’m likely to show up. If they type
in nature aesthetic, I’m likely to show up. - 8:06 | And the great thing is, I’m not just likely to
show up on Pinterest itself, but also Google. - 8:10 | Because Pinterest images actually do show up
on Google search when you click on images, - 8:14 | so you’re literally maximizing your
exposure. Because I know that the main - 8:17 | thing that I would have been promoting
in this pin would be orange knit dress. - 8:21 | I would add my custom affiliate link
for the orange knit dress dress. And - 8:24 | I’ll put in the description that there’s a
link for the orange knit dress in the pin. - 8:28 | So people come across my pin on Pinterest
or Google from them searching knit dress, - 8:32 | and they see that my link is there,
and then they go off and buy it, - 8:35 | I make a commission off that purchase. Now this
actually leads me perfectly into the next part, - 8:39 | which is where you’re gonna learn exactly
how to add your affiliate links to your - 8:43 | Pinterest so you can make some sweet commissions.
So there’s three ways that I go around putting my - 8:46 | affiliate links on my Pinterest. So one way is
I always have a link in my profile. Now this - 8:51 | link is either a landing page or a Beacon’s
link or a link tree or something like that. - 8:55 | This is where I direct people to the top products
that I’m trying to connect them to. The good thing - 8:58 | about having a landing page in your profile is
that you can collect your potential customers’ - 9:03 | emails so you can reconnect with them in the
future. And I 100 % recommend it because I’ve - 9:07 | made a lot of backend sales for my email list.
So to help you out here, I have actually created - 9:11 | a landing page template that you can go
ahead and claim down in my description. - 9:14 | It’s 100 % free and you also get a free trial
to block me. But yeah, the second way that I - 9:19 | sprinkle my affiliate links into my Pinterest,
and it’s the exact method that currently - 9:22 | generates me the highest conversions.
And that is whenever I upload a pin, - 9:25 | instead of adding the affiliate link right here,
which is what everyone does, I will tag it using - 9:29 | this tool right here. So the affiliate
product will literally show up on the pin. - 9:33 | This is gonna minimize the steps between the
potential customers and the product. Because - 9:37 | understand that the more steps someone
has to take, the less likely they are to - 9:40 | make that purchase because then they’ll
have the time to reconsider and think, - 9:44 | “What do I really need this?” And that’s why
so many of us are impulsive spenders because - 9:48 | even TikTok shop and stuff like that, they
have the links there that you can quickly - 9:52 | check out with. And that’s exactly how
these companies get you to spend money. - 9:55 | But yeah, for this, you literally just grab your
affiliate link, add the tag right here, and then - 9:59 | paste it. This is what it’s gonna look like when
it’s done. One thing I wanted to quickly address - 10:03 | from the last video is that you can paste your
affiliate links directly into this tagging part. - 10:07 | Your account will not get flagged up for spam
if you do this. What I usually do, however, - 10:11 | is I put my links through Genius Link just so that
I can track exactly where the traffic is coming - 10:15 | from. And the final way that I put my affiliate
links on my Pinterest is the generic way, - 10:19 | which is literally just adding the
links directly to the pin. Now, - 10:22 | this is very effective, but you will need to
shorten your link. But if you’re doing this, - 10:25 | you will need a Beacons link or a landing page
or even put your link through Genius Link. - 10:29 | Because if you copy and paste your affiliate
link directly from your affiliate program, - 10:32 | your pins will probably flag up in the system
and you could get your account banned. So it’s - 10:36 | definitely not worth putting your account
at risk. The bonus way I wanted to mention, - 10:40 | because I noticed that a lot of people on
Pinterest somehow don’t see the tag products - 10:44 | or the link from the pin. So what I recommend
that you do is you stay on top of the comments. - 10:48 | A lot of the time, you’ll see people asking where
to get a specific product featured in the pin. - 10:52 | So you can reply to those comments with your links
so you don’t miss out on any commissions. So now - 10:56 | we’ve covered the three Pinterest tagging
methods that you need to know about. So now - 10:59 | we can move into the last quick tips that I
wanted to quickly share with you that will - 11:02 | definitely help you scale your Pinterest.
And the first one is to utilize Canva Pro - 11:06 | to help you batch create and post content. Now
this graphic design platform right here allows - 11:10 | you to connect it to your Pinterest account.
And it has a content planner that allows you - 11:14 | to schedule and automate your Pinterest pins.
This saves you a ton of time because instead - 11:18 | of you having to be on Pinterest
every single day posting manually, - 11:21 | which is what I was doing at the start, you
can just dedicate a day or two to scheduling - 11:24 | the content for the month. So you’re not tied
down to manually posting on your Pinterest. - 11:27 | So you can literally just schedule and then
lay back for the rest of the month and then - 11:31 | go again the next week. Another tip is to
use freelancers to outsource some of the - 11:35 | work. Now at some point, your Pinterest is
gonna generate enough money for you to be - 11:38 | able to pay someone else to manage it for you.
So this is gonna give you more time and energy - 11:43 | to focus on how you can open up more streams of
income for yourself. I have a Pinterest manager - 11:47 | at the moment that manages my biggest account on
Pinterest. And she literally creates the boards, - 11:52 | she creates the pins, she pins them there
for me, she engages with my audience. And - 11:56 | this is an amazing investment because I’ve been
able to focus on other ways that I can monetize - 12:01 | my other Pinterest accounts. The final tip I
wanna give you before I let you just run off, - 12:05 | this is by far the most important advice that
I could possibly give you when it comes to - 12:08 | running your Pinterest. And that is to understand
that consistency and patience is the key here. - 12:13 | I’ve had a ton of emails and DMs of people
asking me why they haven’t made any money. - 12:17 | They’ve been pinning for a whole week. But what
I need you to understand is that making money - 12:21 | with Pinterest can take some time. You need
to warm up to the algorithm, algorithm, you - 12:25 | need to build that steady traffic, you need
to be engaging with your audience and you’ll - 12:28 | need to make a few mistakes before you
can actually start making some money. - 12:32 | And realistically that doesn’t normally happen
in a week. If it was that easy everyone in their - 12:36 | parents would be posting on Pinterest
instead of having a nine to five. Just - 12:39 | know that this is a proven strategy
so you have nothing to worry about. - 12:42 | Just stick with it for a few months and you’re
bound to see results. And speaking of I just - 12:46 | wanted to publicly congratulate one of my
subscribers Amara that commented under my - 12:50 | last video and let me know that she made
her first ever commission with this sale. - 12:53 | I hope this gives you guys some motivation
because this is really one of the most simple - 12:57 | business models out there right now. And just
in case you actually plan on taking Pinterest - 13:00 | seriously I know for a fact you’re gonna
love this video right here where I teach - 13:03 | you seven ways to monetize your Pinterest
account right now as a complete beginner. - 13:08 | But yeah that’s all from me if you enjoyed the

dollars every single month in passive income. - 13:23 | It can be done from anywhere in the world,
has zero startup costs and you don’t need - 13:26 | to have any experience to get this all up
and running. This method can make you a - 13:30 | lot of money very very quickly and you
don’t need any money to start this up. - 13:34 | You don’t even need a following.
In this video I’m gonna be showing - 13:38 | you how to steal traffic and
make thousands while doing so.
