Hey guys! I'm Anastasia, welcome back to the channel where we talk about making money online.
Today we will about how you can make some serious cash using Pinterest. You
heard it right - Pinterest isn't just a place for recipes and home decor,
it's a goldmine for making money! You'll see how you can make a six-figure income
using Pinterest. Let's get into it!
Selling Print-on Demand Products
This is a great opportunity for those who are creative and have a talent for
designing unique and eye-catching designs. So, how does it work? Well, you can create
designs for a variety of products like t-shirts, mugs, phone cases, and more.
You don't have to worry about the production process as there are several print-on-demand
platforms out there like Printful, Printify, Redbubble, Teespring, and Zazzle that handle
everything from printing to shipping. All you have to do is create your designs,
upload them to the platform of your choice, and then promote them on Pinterest. You can create
beautiful pins that showcase your designs and link them directly to your product pages. With
the right targeting and promotion, you can reach a wide audience and generate sales.
The great thing about selling print-on-demand products is that
there is no upfront cost or inventory to manage. You can create designs in your free time and
upload them to the platform whenever you want. Plus, you can earn passive income from your
designs as people continue to purchase them. When you promote your products on Pinterest,
the platform gives great additional features for eCommerce stores:
• You can create Product pins which adds product price and description to the pins
Use product catalogs (this works for self-hosted stores with a verified
merchant status on Pinterest) Sending traffic to your website
from each and every pin by adding a destination link to your pins.
Now, let's talk about the potential earnings. The amount of money you can
make selling print-on-demand products on Pinterest will depend on a few factors,
such as the quality of your designs, the demand for your products, and your promotional efforts.
There are plenty of sellers who make a full-time income selling print-on-demand products online.
Here is Ryan McCarthy who founded Imouri at the age of 22. It's an
online retail company that creates custom anime designs and works through Printful.
In an interview with Business Insider, he shared how he grew his side hustle
into a six-figure business that was earning him $500,000 a year in 2020.
And this is Kayla Warner, she shared in an article on BusinessInsider that in 2021 her
Etsy shop where she sells business planners brought in $95,000 in revenue.
She shared that outside of Etsy SEO she also "views her marketing efforts outside of
Etsy on Pinterest, on her blog, and via emails". It's interesting that she mentioned Pinterest in
the first place here, we can actually have a quick look at her Pinterest profile. See here she sells
custom planners, Canva templates and so on. So, if you have a knack for design and want
to monetize your creative skills, selling print-on-demand products on Pinterest might
just be the perfect opportunity for you. And if you find this video helpful so far,
give me a like, it motivates me to work on new videos for this channel! And if you have any
questions about Pinterest marketing, the best place to ask me is in the comments
below my latest videos! Design Pin Images for Others
Here's how it works: businesses and bloggers who use Pinterest to drive
traffic to their website need eye-catching and high-quality pin images to get noticed.
And that's where you come in! You can offer your services as a Pinterest
graphic designer and create custom pins for these businesses and bloggers. You
can charge per pin or offer a package deal depending on your skills and experience.
Now, you might be wondering how you can get clients for this service.
Well, you can reach out to businesses and bloggers in your niche, showcase
your portfolio and offer your services. Even if you are not a graphic designer,
but you feel like it’s something you could be good at – there are actually
free or some very affordable online tools you can use for creating pins. For example,
you could use Canva free online image editor. Canva has an entirely free plan,
you can start your account using my link anastasiablogger.com/canva.
And I have detailed video tutorial on my channel that will teach how to create pin
images in Canva in about 10 minutes. I’ll give you a link to it in description below.
I found this company that offers pin design packages starting from
$400 for a 20 static image pins. That's up to $20 for an image pin! Of course,
this company has established its authority over the years and they can offer packages
at a higher price range but even as a beginner you could probably charge $5 per pin design and
offer your services on freelance platforms if you don't have your own website yet.
3. Pinterest Account Manager
The next way to make money on Pinterest is by offering Pinterest management services to others.
If you've been able to successfully manage your own account on Pinterest and achieve
impressive results, then you have the skills to offer your services to business owners and
bloggers who just don't have the time and patience to create and save pins regularly.
Now, you might be wondering if there's even a demand for Pinterest management services. Let
me tell you a secret: there definitely is! I personally receive a lot of requests from
business owners who acknowledge the potential of Pinterest but just don't have the time to
manage their accounts. In fact, I get so many requests that I could probably start my own
Pinterest management agency if I wanted to. But I'm not a fan of managing a team
of Pinterest account managers, it's just not my favorite business model.
And you don't have to believe me, just take a look at some Facebook groups for bloggers, especially
those geared towards established bloggers. You'll see how frequently new threads are
created by bloggers looking for someone to manage their Pinterest accounts. Even in my
own private Facebook group for students of my Pinterest course, we get requests
for Pinterest management from time to time. So, if you're looking for a way to make money
on Pinterest, managing accounts for others can be a great additional income source.
And here's why: as a beginner blogger, it takes time to see any real money from ad networks like
Mediavine. It can take several months before you see your first paycheck. That's where managing
Pinterest accounts for others comes in handy - you can get paid right from the first month
you start working with your first client. But, let me be clear - offering Pinterest
management services isn't for everyone. You need to have experience and knowledge about
Pinterest to be successful. You can't expect people to trust you and pay for your services
if you're a complete beginner with no portfolio or results to show for your own account on Pinterest.
Now, are you wondering how much you could charge for these services?
It really depends on what you include in the package, how established you are as an expert,
and whether or not you can show potential clients reviews and results from previous clients.
I've seen people charge anywhere from $400 to $2000 per month for managing a Pinterest account.
So, if you have the skills and experience, offering Pinterest management services can
be a great way to make money on Pinterest. Just make sure you're prepared to deliver
results for your clients and establish yourself as an expert in the field.
4. Affiliate Marketing on Pinterest And another way you can make some money
on Pinteres is affiliate marketing. Now, there are actually two ways you
can use affiliate marketing on Pinterest. The first way is for those who don't have
a website and don't want to create one, and this works for beginners because all
you need to do is create a Pinterest board and save some visually appealing images that
are optimized for the Pinterest platform, linked directly to the affiliate products.
But, from my experience, I don't use this method as much because there are some issues
with using direct affiliate links on Pinterest. The biggest issue is that Pinterest doesn't
prioritize pins linked to other sites that are not verified on your account.
You also can't overuse those direct affiliate links and it's absolutely not clear where is
the line for your account to get flagged as spammy for posting too many affiliate links.
Plus, quite a lot of affiliate networks and websites are already blocked on Pinterest,
making it harder to promote those products. For example, I've heard of many people having
trouble with links to Clickbank, and I believe the list of blocked affiliate networks on Pinterest
is growing over time. So, it's becoming more difficult to link directly to affiliate products.
Now, there's another way to use affiliate marketing with Pinterest traffic.
That is by driving traffic to your own verified website where you can provide
reviews of the products you're promoting and explain to your audience what the benefits of
the products are before sending them to the affiliate website. This way,
you can increase your chances of making a sale. In fact, I have a separate video where I go more
in-depth about how to use affiliate marketing on Pinterest, so make sure to check that out,
just click the link in the top right corner or in the description below.
Remember, while affiliate marketing can be a great way to make money on Pinterest,
it's important to understand the limitations and find
creative ways to promote the affiliate offers. 5. Driving Traffic from Pinterest to Your Website
Let's talk about one of my favorite ways to make money on Pinterest. It's a little more
time consuming, but if you're willing to put in the effort, it can really pay off in the long run.
I'm talking about monetizing your Pinterest traffic through display
ads on your website. Now, I know some of you might be thinking, "Wait a minute,
is Pinterest traffic even worth monetizing?" Well, let me tell you, Pinterest is not your
average social media platform. It's more of a hybrid between a search
engine and social media. And that means the traffic you get from Pinterest can be
some of the highest quality traffic out there. In fact, Pinterest is one of the best platforms
to get premium ad networks like Mediavine because you'll be getting visitors from the United States,
and advertisers are willing to pay top dollar for North American traffic. So, if you want to
make some serious money with ads on your website, Pinterest traffic is definitely worth going after.
Now, I know some of you might be thinking, "But Anastasia, it takes time to build up
traffic on Pinterest. I need money now!" And that's a fair point. But the thing is,
driving traffic to a new site takes time no matter what platform you're using. And with Pinterest,
you can start seeing results a lot faster than you would with organic traffic from Google.
Of course, if you're going to go this route, you'll need to learn how to monetize your traffic
effectively. That's where my blog monetization video comes in. In that video, I cover a variety
of ways I use to make over $10,000/mo with my blogging business, including display ads.
I'll drop a link in the description below. But if you really want to take your Pinterest
traffic to the next level, you need to understand SEO for Pinterest. You might
want to watch my free Pinterest Masterclass, the link will be in the description below too.
6. Sell products using Pinterest Ads Now, you might ask me wait a second Anastasia,
isn't this video about how to make money on Pinterest? And now you are talking about
Pinterest ads where I will have to spend money. Well, my friend, this is just one business model
and paid traffic can have great return on investment.
According to a Retail meda study with five US retail brands in 2019,
and as published on Pinterest's official page for Advertisers, on this platform
retail brands get about 2 times higher return on ad spend, compared to other social media sites.
So you can use promoted pins to drive traffic to your online shop. It's a
great way to get clicks and leads at a lower cost compared to other platforms. In fact,
some of my students who run e-commerce stores have seen great success with this method.
But let me tell you, driving traffic to your digital products doesn't necessarily mean you
need an online store. For instance, I drive leads from Pinterest to my free workshops and email list
sign-ups. And trust me, Pinterest is a goldmine for lead generation. In fact, the conversion
rates from my Pinterest leads are higher than those from Facebook and Instagram combined.
Now, you may be wondering how email sign-ups are related to product sales. Well, my friend, they're
everything. Once I have these leads on my email list, I can nurture and educate them on my digital
products until they're ready to buy. And thanks to Pinterest, I'm getting new leads every month.
Now if you want to learn more about running ads on Pinterest, I have a video tutorial that explains
everything you need to know. Click up there to watch the video and I'll see you in the next one!
