Affiliate Marketing and Pinterest: A Quick Starting Plan

Update: this page has a newer, fuller version. For the full guide, read Affiliate Marketing and Pinterest: the complete beginner guide.

Here is the quick version, so you can see if it is for you.

The 30-Second Summary

• Pinterest works like a search engine, so pins can keep getting seen for months.
• Affiliate links are allowed, with rules: no spammy or repeat pins, no confusing redirects, and a clear note that you may earn a commission.
• Most beginners do better sending pins to their own blog post and putting the links inside it.
• It is slow, and income is never guaranteed.

A Simple Starting Plan

1. Pick one topic and one affiliate program.
2. Write one helpful post with a clear note about your links.
3. Make three tall pins for it and check your outbound clicks after a few weeks.
