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.
