In this digital age, making an online income has never been more effortless. However, finding the right one that works and you can commit to that can be the issue. If you are a single parent or looking for a side hustle to build around a full-time job, you really need to start your own venture. There are online jobs, but some are really just work from home. If you want 100% control of when you work and how much you make, consider doing your own thing. Which is why Pinterest Affiliate Marketing is a great way to get started.
If you want to start a side hustle that has the potential to retire you from your job and have limitless income potential, then you need to find something that has all past effort become passive.
Affiliate marketing is one area of online income that is precisely that. You build your content ( what you put out there, either a blog or social media posts ), and as you put more out there, your income grows as past efforts join with current efforts to build your momentum, following and income.
I love blogging, but writing isn’t for everyone. If graphics or social media posting is more your style, then you can look into the platform that captures the attention of many marketers and entrepreneurs. Harnessing the potential of Pinterest can be easy with consistency, growth and determination. Like any new skill, you will improve and understand more as you continue to use the platform and develop your skills. So, if you decide to step into the waters of Pinterest, you need to understand that it takes time to grow an income, but once you grow, learn and stay consistent, you can replace your job and earn the same or more, only working a few hours a day. Once you get really good at it, even a few hours a week with automation.
What Is Pinterest?
Pinterest is a visually-driven environment – also called a search engine – with well over 400 million active users. It is a fertile and unique platform for new and developing affiliate marketers.
Trying to master it alone can be frustrating and takes time you don’t have ( trust me, I was stubborn and did it alone, and man, I regret it). When I finally got over myself and threw myself into the utube rabbit hole of learning how to master Pinterest, it still took me a long time to master, but I finally got there. I am now making a healthy side income from Pinterest promoting my blog and with an affiliate marketing program.
I wish I had the money back then to do a course, but a few hundred on a course was not doable when you are broke and raising children. I now want to pass on what I have learnt and teach YOU how to make an online income on Pinterest, for free if you follow the blog or for a small fee if you do the course or purchase the planner or book.
For less than $20, you can learn the skills to elevate yourself to freedom and wealth if you stick to it.
For beginners, this comprehensive course, “Pinterest Affiliate Marketing Mastery”, for beginners, will guide you step by step over the next 30 days or at your chosen pace. From setting up your Pinterest page, growing your following, and mastering affiliate marketing to generate a sustainable, evergreen, mindblowing income that will only take you a few hours a week.
The Power of Pinterest Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing promotes other people’s products or services and receives a commission if a successful sale or lead is generated through your link.
Everybody wins because the business saves on advertising and reaches new customers, and you get paid repeatedly for a one-time effort.
But why is Pinterest such prime real estate for affiliate marketing? Pinterest is a unique platform people use specifically to look for something they wish to buy, make or save to buy later. It is perfect for affiliate marketing.
But why did I make it my primary marketing source, and why should you?:
- Visual Emphasis: Pinterest is naturally visual, making it an ideal platform for showcasing products or services. Effective pins have the power to captivate, engage, and drive high conversion rates. This is why Pinterest Affiliate Marketing is becoming popular and effective for everyday people.
- Search Engine Capabilities: Unlike traditional social media platforms, Pinterest functions as a visual search engine. Users actively seek inspiration, views, and products, providing affiliates with opportunities to target specific niches effectively.
- Evergreen Content: Pins on Pinterest have an extended shelf life. While social media posts often disappear quickly, well-constructed pins can drive traffic and conversions for an extended period.
- Purchase Intent: Pinterest users often have a high purchase goal. They use the platform to plan events like weddings, home renovations, travel, Christmas, birthdays and life goals. This presents a golden opportunity for affiliates to connect with individuals seeking to make purchases. So learning how to utilise Pinterest Affiliate Marketing makes sense and doesnt feel “salesy” because people are there to actually buy.
- Diverse Audience: Pinterest attracts a mixed audience spanning multiple age groups and interests. This diversity opens up a world of possibilities for affiliates, enabling them to engage with various niches.
