Pinterest Affiliate Marketing: Ditch the Sales Pitch & Build Real Connections (Like a Boss!)
Pinterest Affiliate Marketing: Ditch the Sales Pitch & Build Real Connections (Like a Boss!)
Welcome back, Pinterest queens! 🌟 Today, we’re jumping into the fabulous world of affiliate marketing on Pinterest. Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned pro, it’s time to forget what you think you know about affiliate marketing and embrace a fresh, more genuine approach.
The Technical Side of Affiliate Links
Affiliate marketing on Pinterest isn’t just about pinning a ton of links. It requires a strategic approach to make those links work. Here’s the lowdown on how to handle affiliate links:
- Tagging on Mobile vs. Desktop: On mobile, you can tag while you upload. On desktop, you need to edit after uploading.
- Keep It Clean: No more than five affiliate tags per pin to keep your content valuable and engaging. Too many tags scream spam!
- Top Five Keywords: Stick to your top five relevant keywords per pin to keep it simple and effective.
Show Your Value, Girl! That’s the Secret Sauce
People click on your affiliate links when they see the value you bring to their lives. Here’s how to create content that truly resonates:
Lifestyle Content
Don’t just talk about products—show them in action. Share outfit ideas if you’re promoting a spring coat or show how your tennis shoes handle a walk in New York.
Tutorials
Be the guru your audience adores. Whether it’s a quick video recipe using a new kitchen gadget or a makeup tutorial featuring an affiliate product, step-by-step help is key.
Honest Reviews
Become the queen of unbiased product comparisons. Authenticity builds trust faster than a double espresso, especially in personal areas like wellness.
Trend Spotting
Use Pinterest’s trend predictions to showcase your awesome affiliate finds. Your audience will love you for being their go-to trendsetter.
Pinterest Membership
Pinterest Strategy Club
A community membership that helps you to learn Pinterest live. There's a mini course to optimize your Pinterest to have it help you grow your business. There are two live calls a month, a Pinning Session for accountability and a Q+A session. Also, Pin templates each month to download.
Grow with Grace
Real talk: growth takes time. Celebrate every new follower and every genuine question. These little wins lead to significant growth and success.
Connection: The Heart of Pinterest Affiliate Marketing
In Pinterest’s most popular niches—think food, fashion, beauty, weddings—connection is everything. Show your audience you understand them and that the products you promote will genuinely improve their lives. If they don’t, pass on that affiliate.
Ethics and the Long Game
Successful affiliate marketing isn’t about instant gratification. Always put value first, be upfront about your affiliate relationships, and stay true to your brand’s message. This approach builds trust and long-term success.
The Bottom Line
Pinterest affiliate marketing is a goldmine for those willing to build genuine connections. Be a guide, not a billboard, and provide real value. Be honest about your affiliate links and focus on building trust with your audience. That’s the biggest hurdle to overcome before people start clicking on those links. Create lasting success and maybe even make a few new friends along the way.
