Pinterest Affiliate Strategy

 


📌 Pinterest Affiliate Strategy Step-by-Step





1. Set Up a Pinterest Business Account



  • Free to create: https://business.pinterest.com
  • Gives you access to analytics and lets you claim your website (if you have one).
  • Add a keyword-rich bio (e.g., Helping busy moms find the best Amazon deals!)






2. Create Niche Boards



Think of what your audience is searching for. Create 5–10 boards around these topics. Examples:


  • Mom Life Must-Haves
  • Amazon Home Finds
  • Pool Party Essentials
  • Back to School Deals
  • Organization Hacks



Each board should have:


  • A clear name (with keywords)
  • A keyword-rich description
  • 20+ pins (your own and others’)






3. Create Scroll-Stopping Pins for Affiliate Products



Use free tools like Canva to design vertical pins (1000x1500px or 1080x1920px). Make sure your pins:


  • Use bold, clear titles (e.g., Top 5 Pool Toys on Amazon)
  • Include a call-to-action like “Shop Now” or “Tap to View”
  • Use attractive images or product mockups






4. Add Your Affiliate Link to the Pin



  • When uploading your pin, add your Amazon affiliate link (or other program’s link) to the “Website URL” field.
  • Optional but recommended: use a redirect link or your blog for added trust (e.g., yourblog.com/pooltoys → affiliate link).
  • Always disclose the affiliate relationship in your pin description:
    “This post contains affiliate links. I may earn a small commission at no cost to you.”






5. Write Keyword-Rich Descriptions



Use Pinterest keywords people are searching for. Example description:


“These are the best Amazon pool toys for kids this summer! Easy to use, budget-friendly, and fun. Perfect for backyard parties. #PoolToys #SummerFun #AmazonFinds”


Use 3–7 hashtags at the end.





6. Pin Consistently



  • Post at least 1–3 new pins per day.
  • Use Pinterest Trends (https://trends.pinterest.com) to know what’s hot.
  • You can schedule pins for free using Pinterest’s native scheduler or a tool like Tailwind.






7. Track What Works



  • Use Pinterest Analytics to see which pins are getting the most clicks.
  • Make more of what performs well: same topic, pin style, colors, etc.
  • Optimize low-performing pins with better images or keywords.






🧠 Tips for More Affiliate Sales:



  • Link to products people are already searching for (timely or trending).
  • Use seasonal content (e.g., “Best Fall Home Decor on Amazon”).
  • Add affiliate links to blog posts and pin those posts too.
  • Repurpose pins across your social media and email list.
