- 0:00 | it’s time to maximize affiliate Revenue
- 0:03 | with Pinterest so that’s picking a niche
- 0:05 | promoting the right products creating
- 0:06 | the pins themselves adding the affiliate
- 0:08 | links all of it and really when you
- 0:10 | think about it is Pinterest really only
- 0:12 | for women no of course not how else
- 0:14 | would I find out how to chop down a tree
- 0:16 | with a chainsaw near a house or where
- 0:18 | else would I get my man cave ideas to
- 0:20 | get my juices flowing I am here to break
- 0:23 | down any gender stereotype if traffic
- 0:26 | and money are to be made I will talk
- 0:28 | about it and I will figure out no matter
- 0:30 | how long it takes I will make it work
- 0:33 | Tastefully so why Pinterest well like
- 0:35 | Google it’s a search engine so people
- 0:37 | are looking for a ton of products and
- 0:39 | reviews and instead of ranking on Google
- 0:41 | you’re just sitting there with a pin
- 0:42 | month after month getting traffic and
- 0:44 | making affiliate commissions and pinest
- 0:46 | results also show up in Google a lot too
- 0:48 | so it’s a win-win so now if you’re
- 0:49 | interested in learning how we’re
- 0:50 | building profitable online businesses in
- 0:52 | 2024 also make sure to click the link in
- 0:54 | the description below and I’ll give you
- 0:56 | access to exactly how we’re doing that
- 0:57 | so all the resources you need to get
- 0:59 | started right now all right so let’s
- 1:00 | quickly cover what we’re looking at here
- 1:02 | we can do any search on Pinterest best
- 1:03 | travel bags and we see a bunch of pins
- 1:06 | here so things like travel purses
- 1:08 | different articles you click the link to
- 1:09 | the article and there’s going to be
- 1:10 | affiliate links in that article or like
- 1:13 | food processors best food processors
- 1:15 | same exact thing would I buy it click
- 1:17 | the link affiliate links or best
- 1:19 | backpacking backpack right backpacking
- 1:21 | for your next trip going the whole
- 1:23 | hog.com click on that affiliate links in
- 1:26 | that article anything right fishing
- 1:28 | kayak random stuff worst kayak Brands to
- 1:31 | avoid factors when choosing so people
- 1:33 | using the word best are signifying buyer
- 1:35 | intent and they’re looking for things
- 1:36 | that they want to buy and they’re using
- 1:38 | Pinterest to kind of look for different
- 1:39 | ideas and use your pin and a blog post
- 1:42 | as the way to find those Pinterest also
- 1:44 | announced that you can add affiliate
- 1:45 | links right into the pins themselves
- 1:47 | with product tagging so don’t add the
- 1:50 | link like if you’re creating a pin don’t
- 1:51 | add the link right where it says link
- 1:52 | but you can hit tag product and then you
- 1:54 | can add an affiliate link right in there
- 1:56 | so that the affiliate link is right in
- 1:58 | the product itself so an example of that
- 1:59 | put in as like women’s dresses and you
- 2:01 | can see in this pin like there’s actual
- 2:02 | little links here and if I click on one
- 2:04 | of them it takes me to this page which
- 2:06 | shows me the actual links directly the
- 2:08 | affiliate links directly to shop that
- 2:09 | item so there’s two ways you have a pin
- 2:11 | you either send them to a blog post with
- 2:12 | affiliate links or you product tag
- 2:14 | directly into the the pin itself now it
- 2:16 | sounds a lot easier and simpler right
- 2:17 | there’s less friction when you’re just
- 2:19 | adding the link right in here it’s a lot
- 2:21 | easier to do you just create a pin drop
- 2:23 | affiliate links in and it can be part of
- 2:24 | your strategy but I do think that in the
- 2:27 | long term the blogging strategy is the
- 2:29 | best way to do it because sometimes when
- 2:30 | you’re looking for a lot of these
- 2:31 | opportunities it can be a little bit
- 2:32 | tougher cuz you’re going up against like
- 2:33 | Amazon Stitch fix Old Navy right so you
- 2:36 | have to really find longtail keywords
- 2:38 | here so what are we actually going to
- 2:39 | pin here to make affiliate Revenue well
- 2:41 | one tool you can use here is HRS which
- 2:43 | is really interesting and I’m looking at
- 2:44 | this because it’s Pinterest.com and this
- 2:46 | is showing me all the keywords that
- 2:48 | Pinterest ranks for on Google so for
- 2:50 | example if I go to like boys haircuts
- 2:53 | 2023 last year uh Pinterest is the top
- 2:56 | two results now what’s interesting it
- 2:58 | goes directly to pins so this one says
- 3:01 | you know you can’t go there because it
- 3:02 | might lead to spam so interesting but
- 3:05 | this one here 55 best haircuts goes
- 3:07 | right to an actual article so this is
- 3:09 | probably bringing bringing in a ton of
- 3:10 | traffic to this article direct kind of
- 3:13 | through Google but with Pinterest so
- 3:15 | it’s going P Google to Pinterest to a
- 3:17 | website and that’s a really interesting
- 3:19 | way to look at it so the key here is to
- 3:21 | find new and emerging products to talk
- 3:23 | about things that aren’t too competitive
- 3:24 | and crazy right so women’s dresses there
- 3:26 | might be like hundreds of thousands of
- 3:28 | pins I don’t know there’s a lot of pins
- 3:29 | right but we can find things that are
- 3:31 | less competitive now if I drop the
- 3:33 | difficulty down to like three this is
- 3:35 | showing me things that are easy to rank
- 3:36 | for on Google that Pinterest is ranking
- 3:39 | for a number one position so things like
- 3:41 | nail designs mid taper mullet Taylor
- 3:44 | Swift wallpaper again the boys haircuts
- 3:47 | example so this is actually a good way
- 3:49 | to do it because you can both possibly
- 3:51 | rank blog content and also understand
- 3:54 | the types of content that is new and
- 3:57 | emerging on Pinterest because it’s not
- 3:58 | competitive yet because it’s new right
- 4:01 | this bloxburg house ideas it’s a type of
- 4:04 | design I think I’m not totally sure but
- 4:05 | a year from now it’s not going to be a
- 4:06 | zero difficulty it’s going to be
- 4:08 | probably more like 20 or 30 so once I
- 4:10 | drop that difficulty down you can find
- 4:12 | easy things that can rank on Google and
- 4:15 | potential Pinterest ideas with this tool
- 4:17 | you can also add keywords in so I made
- 4:19 | it what Pinterest is ranking number one
- 4:21 | or two for on Google difficulty under
- 4:23 | three and it contains the word living
- 4:25 | room so things like modern boho living
- 4:27 | room two color combination for living
- 4:29 | room luxury living room dark brown couch
- 4:31 | living room ideas Art Deco living room
- 4:34 | so if you’re an interior designer tons
- 4:37 | and tons we have about 12,000 keywords
- 4:39 | here for potential pins and blog posts
- 4:42 | so in this video we’re primarily
- 4:44 | covering affiliate marketing right cuz I
- 4:46 | was an affiliate manager at a tech
- 4:47 | company turned into a seven figure
- 4:49 | affiliate blogger and to understand
- 4:52 | affiliate marketing we really have to
- 4:53 | understand well which types of people
- 4:56 | buy through affiliate links it’s based
- 4:58 | on the search it’s it’s actually based
- 5:00 | on the actual search itself so it
- 5:02 | depends on the transactional search
- 5:04 | intent so if they’re already searching
- 5:05 | for the best women’s dresses then
- 5:08 | they’re probably going to be more likely
- 5:10 | to buy through an affiliate link if
- 5:12 | they’re searching how to build a shed
- 5:14 | they’re probably not going to buy
- 5:16 | through an affiliate link right so
- 5:17 | informational broad topics do not make
- 5:19 | much affiliate Revenue the ones that
- 5:21 | make more affiliate Revenue are based on
- 5:23 | specific products so the money you make
- 5:25 | with affiliate marketing is going to be
- 5:26 | dictated by the price of the product
- 5:28 | that you’re promoting and the commission
- 5:30 | rate given to you by that brand so for
- 5:32 | example if you’re promoting like juicers
- 5:34 | for the kitchen could be $500 for a
- 5:37 | Vitamix or something like that if you’re
- 5:39 | getting 10% for a commission from that
- 5:41 | brand you’re making $50 per sale so we
- 5:43 | want to you know make money on things
- 5:45 | that actually will make us a lot of
- 5:46 | money not just like making a 5%
- 5:49 | Commission on something that’s 10 or 20
- 5:51 | bucks then we’re just making pennies and
- 5:52 | it’s not worth it so in your Niche
- 5:54 | there’s always higher priced products
- 5:56 | whether it’s fashion whether it’s indoor
- 5:58 | Goods outdoor Goods hobby things
- 6:01 | software there’s all kinds of different
- 6:03 | opportunities out there so when it comes
- 6:04 | to affiliate marketing the main
- 6:06 | platforms that generate the most
- 6:07 | affiliate Revenue in the world are going
- 6:09 | to be Google YouTube Pinterest probably
- 6:13 | I might be missing something but in
- 6:14 | general people that are actively using
- 6:16 | search engines to search for products
- 6:17 | that they want best CRM software for
- 6:20 | example I have an article on my blog and
- 6:23 | here’s every single button here these
- 6:24 | blue ones are affiliate links and it’s
- 6:26 | really simple content it’s like an
- 6:28 | introduction and then what is the best
- 6:30 | with an H2 heading going to the
- 6:32 | different products text based links are
- 6:34 | the ones buttons and text is what drives
- 6:36 | affiliate sales people are used to
- 6:38 | clicking buttons to check out and buy
- 6:39 | things right think about Amazon you
- 6:41 | click on text based blue looking links
- 6:43 | things like this and buttons and you go
- 6:45 | buy and it’s really simple but you want
- 6:46 | to have a Content strategy first don’t
- 6:48 | like just choose an affiliate program
- 6:50 | you want to join and then make content
- 6:51 | around it really start with a keyword
- 6:53 | strategy first in your Niche so using
- 6:55 | tools finding like here’s a hundred
- 6:57 | different pin ideas I can create in this
- 6:59 | niche and then you can find affiliate
- 7:00 | programs for that so you’re going to go
- 7:02 | after it that way now if you already
- 7:04 | have a Blog and maybe you’re struggling
- 7:05 | to get organic traffic just from Google
- 7:07 | you could start creating pins so I
- 7:09 | recommend you create like 10 boards with
- 7:11 | at least 15 pins in them for a decently
- 7:14 | well-rounded profile you can kind of
- 7:15 | categorize them like you would think of
- 7:18 | categorizing blog posts they have canva
- 7:20 | templates so you can see like Pinterest
- 7:21 | pin templates you can put in different
- 7:23 | keywords and just find a lot of nice
- 7:25 | looking templates super easy to create
- 7:27 | adding in your own photos so really
- 7:29 | standing out it’s kind of like YouTube
- 7:31 | thumbnails right how do you get people’s
- 7:32 | attention and how do you get them to
- 7:34 | click so a lot of that is standing out
- 7:36 | and colors right so if you search for
- 7:38 | something on Pinterest and it’s all like
- 7:40 | these kind of light beigy pink colors
- 7:43 | maybe you try something that’s different
- 7:44 | that stands out more black red something
- 7:46 | that’s unique and then after that you
- 7:48 | really just want to double down on
- 7:49 | what’s working so the main thing here is
- 7:51 | to just capture people’s attention with
- 7:53 | the pin there’s a lot of psychology
- 7:55 | behind it but it’s really just like
- 7:56 | don’t add too much information too many
- 7:58 | words you want to have a pretty much
- 7:59 | usually have a human being in it because
- 8:02 | think of all YouTube thumbnails most
- 8:03 | pens they have people on it people will
- 8:05 | click on people um and having a good
- 8:07 | background image so really good fonts
- 8:09 | things that stand out just creating a
- 8:11 | simple you know pin and then when you
- 8:13 | what you can do is look at your
- 8:14 | analytics see which ones are getting
- 8:15 | clicks and you can kind of double down
- 8:17 | on what’s working so maybe there’s a
- 8:18 | clear formula so test a bunch of
- 8:20 | different options and versions figure
- 8:22 | out which one is best and then you kind
- 8:24 | of double down on that one and create
- 8:25 | more that look just like that and
- 8:27 | creating a pen is really easy you just
- 8:28 | upload the photo addit title description
- 8:30 | you can add some you know search intent
- 8:32 | words in there choose a board for it and
- 8:34 | then tag some topics so no one will see
- 8:36 | the tags but you can add tags related to
- 8:37 | the product so I would do like if it’s
- 8:39 | around fishing kayaks something random
- 8:41 | like that You’ do fishing kayaks best
- 8:43 | fishing kayaks how to choose a fishing
- 8:45 | kayak and things related to the search
- 8:46 | you’re going to want to post a lot so
- 8:48 | you’re going to want to post a few pins
- 8:50 | every single day so if you already have
- 8:52 | 100 blog posts pin all of them over time
- 8:55 | if you don’t have all the blog posts yet
- 8:57 | then you know try to do some product tag
- 8:59 | but you want to mainly try to get after
- 9:01 | going like two to three pins every day
- 9:03 | because it’s pretty easy you like create
- 9:04 | an image template in canva right once
- 9:07 | you have that all you’re doing is using
- 9:09 | canva or you can even use Photoshop if
- 9:10 | you’re good at that to change the pin a
- 9:13 | little bit make it look different add
- 9:15 | the titles it’s pretty quick process and
- 9:16 | something that actually is pretty good
- 9:18 | for outsourcing so let’s get in to
- 9:20 | exactly what to do so I still recommend
- 9:22 | you create a blog you can use something
- 9:23 | like wpx for that which in my opinion is
- 9:25 | the best web hosting super fast customer
- 9:27 | support they get back to you with chat
- 9:29 | right away but you want to create a
- 9:30 | wordpress.org website everyone needs a
- 9:32 | website right A lot of these fancy uh
- 9:35 | you know Pinterest videos on YouTube are
- 9:37 | just telling you make so much money you
- 9:40 | all you have to do is click a few
- 9:41 | buttons and tag a few products and
- 9:43 | you’re going to make a ton of money and
- 9:44 | that’s just not the case right the truth
- 9:46 | is if anyone can do the thing in about 5
- 9:49 | minutes then it’s going to be saturated
- 9:51 | it’s not going to work right it’s the
- 9:52 | lowest qual quality type of business you
- 9:54 | could ever try to create so to have a
- 9:57 | real strategy behind it I do recommend
- 9:59 | you check out other videos on my channel
- 10:00 | on like keyword research I have deep
- 10:01 | tutorials on keyword research how to
- 10:03 | write blog posts on page SEO how to use
- 10:05 | AI tools all of these different things
- 10:07 | to actually create a real personal brand
- 10:10 | around yourself so creating real blog
- 10:12 | content with affiliate links in it that
- 10:14 | you’re linking to these products from
- 10:16 | your pins so that’s the best long-term
- 10:19 | strategy is creating a Blog first as the
- 10:22 | foundation focusing on organic traffic
- 10:24 | and then using Pinterest as a secondary
- 10:26 | traffic Source right so it takes a
- 10:28 | little bit longer but it’s a way to
- 10:29 | build a true business and diversify so
- 10:31 | you start your website you choose a
- 10:33 | domain name that’s probably broad
- 10:34 | because we don’t want to pigeon hole
- 10:36 | ourselves into a tiny thing so just
- 10:37 | choose your name or something like that
- 10:39 | and then start your Pinterest strategy
- 10:40 | so do the Pinterest keyword research use
- 10:42 | different tools to find you know a 100
- 10:45 | different potential keywords you could
- 10:46 | create pins around um how-to and
- 10:49 | informational things and then those
- 10:50 | transactional best types of products you
- 10:53 | can even maybe if you have 50 articles
- 10:55 | on your blog currently and like half are
- 10:57 | informational like how to and half or
- 10:59 | transactional about the best types of
- 11:02 | products you add all of those as pins
- 11:04 | and then you start doing product tagging
- 11:06 | as well right so you can do all of it
- 11:08 | and just have a simple strategy that’s
- 11:10 | consistent and you want to figure out
- 11:11 | your Niche on Pinterest based on new and
- 11:14 | emerging keywords that’s the key right
- 11:15 | we don’t want to go after old stuff the
- 11:17 | best refrigerators and dishwashers and
- 11:19 | like things that have been around for 20
- 11:21 | plus years online are going to be more
- 11:23 | saturated and harder to even get traffic
- 11:25 | on Pinterest for so you want to spot
- 11:28 | Trends and then jump on that Trend it’s
- 11:30 | the same thing we teach in blogging and
- 11:31 | Google you have to find that thing
- 11:33 | before other people do so look at Amazon
- 11:35 | look at what new products and categories
- 11:37 | are out there that’s where sometimes
- 11:39 | Niche expertise comes in the more that
- 11:41 | you know about the niche the better
- 11:42 | because you can get ahead of Trends and
- 11:44 | actually create those pins and create
- 11:46 | blog posts on new and emerging things
- 11:48 | right maybe it’s like the best AI image
- 11:50 | upscaling software or it could be some
- 11:54 | new product some new outdoor product
- 11:55 | that just got on the market right so
- 11:58 | it’s kind of becoming first first is be
- 12:00 | being early an early adopter is really
- 12:02 | the way to find success you ride that
- 12:04 | wave get all the affiliate sales while
- 12:06 | you can because search volume things
- 12:08 | change and come and go right it’s a
- 12:10 | seasonal thing men’s haircuts boys
- 12:12 | haircuts of 2023 is going to be replaced
- 12:14 | by different hairstyles different Trends
- 12:16 | different things even products have you
- 12:19 | know come and go things like web hosting
- 12:22 | or podcast hosting software things
- 12:24 | around that have kind of fizzled down a
- 12:25 | little bit compared to how they were
- 12:26 | four years ago so you want to have a
- 12:28 | broader approach what I would also
- 12:30 | recommend you do is on your blog when
- 12:32 | people hit click your PIN click your
- 12:34 | blog post you add exit intent popups so
- 12:36 | you could use a tool like convert box to
- 12:39 | you know add exit intent and build your
- 12:41 | email list so you add lead magnets in
- 12:43 | right either PDFs checklist something
- 12:45 | simple but you start building an email
- 12:46 | list which is actually going from the
- 12:48 | algorithm of Pinterest in Google into
- 12:50 | ownership which is really important to
- 12:51 | run a business and in the future you can
- 12:53 | sell them a course a product you’re just
- 12:55 | kind of building that email list for now
- 12:57 | in the background and then you can out
- 12:59 | once you gain traction and you’re making
- 13:00 | some affiliate sales you can actually
- 13:02 | start Outsourcing this so maybe you hire
- 13:04 | somebody even on Fiverr it’s like a
- 13:06 | simple task to create pins for your
- 13:08 | business and and link to stuff so it’s
- 13:10 | really nice like blogging plus Pinterest
- 13:12 | is something that you can Outsource you
- 13:13 | don’t have to be on video or on podcast
- 13:15 | or anything like that but ultimately
- 13:17 | it’s it’s about using Pinterest as a
- 13:19 | strategy and building a true personal
- 13:20 | brand business over time because people
- 13:22 | want to make money people want to do it
- 13:23 | easily the truth is the way to make real
- 13:26 | money has to stay consistent you want to
- 13:28 | make 5,000 a month well you want to make
- 13:30 | it more than once right you want to make
- 13:32 | it for years you want to be able to do
- 13:33 | things like pay off retirement or put it
- 13:35 | into retirement pay off student loans
- 13:37 | whatever it is right we want to build a
- 13:39 | consistent business so we have to have
- 13:41 | multiple traffic sources a real strategy
