How I made my first $100 from affiliate sales using Pinterest?
Have you tried recommending a product to your friends?
Have you tried expressing your excitement trying services that you think were awesome?When these people purchased a product that you recommended using your affiliate link you will get a commission. Easy right?
I joined an affiliate program like eBay, Cj Affiliate, and Ultimate bundles (affiliate link). My favourite is Ultimate Bundles. They have a product for every niche. They also have a great support and promotional tools available that you can use already.

But how to make people click on my affiliate links?
I shared my links to Pinterest and my blog. But nothing worked. I got tired and wanted to give up, but I have already invested too much time and hard work to just give up yet.I realized that time and hard work were not the only investments I needed to take. I needed to invest. As a new blogger and new to affiliate marketing I needed guidance. I needed to listen to someone who had been in my situation and became successful already.
I knew that I could use Pinterest to share my affiliate links.
I have been doing it but, I was just missing out the Pinterest strategy to make it work out.
I came across an eBook that I think would help me make affiliate sales. Why?
1. It promised to speed up affiliate sales.2. It promised the promotional strategy to make pins go viral on autopilot.
3. It is affordable compared to other downloadable affiliate marketing eBook online.
4. Influencers are also recommending it. Reviews are excellent.
5. People who bought the eBook made affiliate sales in an instant.
I was right this eBook was perfect for bloggers who are still confused about affiliate sales using Pinterest. It laid out the Pinterest strategy that you can copycat to make your affiliate sales on autopilot. I made $40.00 the first week of carefully implementing the strategy of the eBook.
Read my story here and learn from my biggest mistake.
Here is what I did that I think could help you speed up your affiliate sales too.
1. I switched to Pinterest business account and enabled rich pins.
If you are using blogger. Here is how to do it.2. Reading other bloggers income reports.
By reading income reports I was able to find an affiliate program that was already working for others. I was able to see if a certain affiliate network was profitable to join.I was motivated by other blogger's success stories. From their difficulties when they were starting out until how they became successful.
3. I used Boardbooster.
Board boosted was a lifesaver for me. Instead of manually pinning I could schedule my pins and not worry about it, by using board booster I could spend my time with other important things on my blog. I did not have to worry when something came up and I would not be able to work since I got board booster working for me.GET YOUR BOARDBOOSTER FREE TRIAL HERE
4. I Joined a lot of Pinterest group boards.
By collaborating with group boards my contents and affiliate links were getting exposed to a thousand of people even if I was still growing my followers.
Here are the lists of group boards to join for you to start. It would be better if you can join more group boards.
1. Top Blogs - Pinterest Viral Board
2. The Blog Squad
3. Share All Your Pins (Group Board - No Limit)
4. ~Bloggers Promote Your Blog~
5. ✿ Pin Your Best Pins ✿
6. Blogging tips from successful bloggers(Group Board)
7. Organization ideas for time management
8. Parenting tips
5. I implemented the strategies laid out in this eBook.
Before I had this book I was super confused and lost on how to schedule all of my pins and give each pin the exposure it needs to go viral without spending too much work.
If you are looking for more advanced affiliate marketing strategy or you want to make your first $1000 in affiliate sales this is the right course for you.
I am expecting to double my earning next month as well as my page views and blog growth.

ReplyDeletePinterest is such a complicated platform. It has all the visual design elements for beautiful pins plus the complexity of the back end SEO with rich pins and tagging and the social sharing from tribes and groups. You need a solid plan to succeed on such a complicated platform.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the information, I learned a thing or two. This could be quite handy especially for people who are just starting out.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great idea for those interested in making some money on their pinterest! Glad you figured this out! Thanks for the information.
ReplyDeleteI haven't gone to affiliate sales just yet. And I am really interested in knowing how well Pinterest helped in making those sales.
ReplyDeleteI have not tried to monetize my blog yet. When the time comes, this guide will definitely be handy as I know nothing about affiliate marketing. First, I need to work on getting more traffic.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've been searching for a while for a good text about how to use Pinterest, and this text is exactly what I've searched for. A very informative text!
ReplyDeleteUltimate Bundles is def my of my favorite affiliate programs as well! They always offer some of the best stuff.

ReplyDeleteGreat tips for new bloggers and anyone hoping to monetize their site! And I LOVE the planner shown at the bottom!
ReplyDeleteI have never been successful with affiliate sales so I can't wait to try these tips. $100 goes a long way to feeding my horses each month.
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of people have been successful with Pinterest lately. I'm a little late to the game, but I'm just getting in to Pinterest! xo, Brittany www.theblistblog.com
ReplyDeleteSuch great ideas! I just signed up for board booster and trying to learn the ropes. Excited to delve deeper into Pinterest and this post helps! Thank you
ReplyDeleteBoardbooster and Tailwind are two main tools I used to increase my pinterest traffic game and it worked!
ReplyDeleteReally informative post. I'm going to join some of those pinterest groups. I don't utilize pinterest as much as i should.
ReplyDeleteYou tips are spot on. I remember how much I struggled with Pinterest in the begging, before group boars and Boardbooster. Those were my gold mine. I already had the rich pins(really important as well). I have to say I'm starting to get interested in affiliate sales, never tried it.
ReplyDeleteI had never thought of affiliate sales via Pinterest. It is clever! I love Pinterest and ours is growing so fast! There would be so many opportunities to make affiliate sales indeed!
ReplyDeleteJoining Pinterest group boards and automating my pins has helped me a lot as well! I'm curious to check out this ebook you recommend
ReplyDeleteI have to admit it is a really interesting idea to use Pinterest to make affiliate sales, it is something I really need to try and look into doing myself.
ReplyDeleteFor the longest time I have failed at affiliate marketing, maybe I should try ebooks and change up my strategy.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on earning your first $100. I'm already using most of those strategies without doing affiliate marketing, so maybe it's time to start doing it!
ReplyDeleteI've never really thought about using Pinterest for affiliate links, but it sounds like it works. I'm definitely going to look into doing this myself!
ReplyDeleteim new to blogging and havent actually optimize my pinterest as im not even exactly sure where to start! this is a good guideline! thanks!
ReplyDeletethis is really interesting! i would love to make more money from my blog. i have never tried affiliate sponsors/links. this is something i always thought "big" bloggers did, but maybe there could be a chance for a small blogger like me :)
ReplyDeleteThese are great tips for making affiliate sales. I will have to share this with my Sister. She is just starting out.
ReplyDeleteWow, I am impressed. I really need to switch to a Pinterest business account. I am trying to use it more often.
ReplyDeleteI love pinterest but I haven't really used it to make money. I only use it for fun and find patterns.

ReplyDeleteI know I really need to join more group boards. I know I haven't done nearly as many as I could and I know I have heard how helpful that they are. I can imagine that they can be so helpful in getting the word out about my work.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully demonstrated. This will help newbies get up and at them quickly!
ReplyDeleteI am currently revamping my Pinterest strategy. I'm a little stuck with the rich pins because I have a food blog and I'm on Squarespace (I tried Wordpress, didn't like it). I have basic coding skills so I'm getting there, not as fast as I'd like, but making progress. Your advice is very timely!
ReplyDeleteGreat tips! I have not heard of board booster before so I will definitely be checking into that more. I have heard that Pinterest is a great traffic resource but have not tried to utilize it much myself YET.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing to know! I love Pinterest but I am lost most of the time. I will be sure to use this guide.
ReplyDeleteI've been offered to join for an affiliate program, I'm just so worried it would never work for me. I will definitely take a second look at it and put some of your tips to work!

ReplyDeleteGood to know. I've made some money in affiliate marketing, but haven't put 100% into it yet, just because I have other pressing tasks that pay more and have a quicker turnaround. I absolutely do want to invest in this though, since affilaite sales can help buffer when income is low.
