This slideshow is written expecting that the viewer has a general understanding of how to use Pinterest. If you do not have a Pinterest account or need more information about how Pinterest works, please READ THIS.

This information will not help you get rich quick.

You will not spend one night on Pinterest and instantly have a steady income.

However, these strategies work.

It just takes time.

Step OneCreate an Amazon.com Affiliate Account

If you already have an Amazon.com Affiliate account, click HERE to move to Step Two.

Go to https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/

Click “Join Now for Free”

Put in the name of your Pinterest page

Copy and paste the address for your Pinterest profile page

Mention the type of information & products you will be pinning.

Select “Social Network Site” and “Home/Pets/ Cooking, etc.” category

Click all categories for items you plan to pin

Select “Content or Niche Website” and “Search”

Select the ways you intend to promote your Pinterest account

Chances are that most of these will not apply

If you plan to use other affiliate programs, select “Other Affiliate Programs.” If not, select “Amazon only.”

Complete this part just as I have, complete the security code and click “finish.”

Applying for an Amazon Affiliate account does not guarantee acceptance, but I have never known of anyone to be denied.

If at any time following your acceptance as an affiliate you become a resident of Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, North Carolina, Rhode Island, or Connecticut, you will become ineligible to participate.

For additional questions, please contact Amazon.com.

Step TwoHow to Pin Your Amazon Affiliate Links

Pick an item to add to one of your Pinterest boards.

Click “Link to this page” from the affiliate toolbar.

NOTE:If you have been accepted into the Affiliate program and do not see

the toolbar, make sure you are

signed in to your account.

Highlight the line of text between the first set of quotation marks and press CTRL-C to copy.

Click “Text Only” on the pop up box.

Open your Pinterest account and click to “Add.”

Select “Add a Pin” from the pop up box.

Click inside the box and then press CTRL-V to paste your Amazon Affiliate code into the box. Click “Find Images.”

Click “Next” to reach the desired image.

Select the board to which you want the item placed.

Complete the pin description using a personal experience or quotes from the item description on Amazon. Pin it!

Verify that the pin is showing correctly. Click to “Edit” if needed.

Every time your pin is re-pinned, your affiliate link goes with it and has the potential of making money.

If you do not notice clicks in your Amazon Affiliate account after a little time, check the links on your “money pins” by clicking to “Edit Pin.”

Verify that Pinterest has not changed your affiliate link to THEIR affiliate link, which they reserve the right to do.

If they change it, change it back.

Step ThreeSome Tips to Keep in Mind

• Pin regularly.• Try to set aside a little time (10 to 15

minutes) each day to pin and repin.

• Pin at peak times.• If possible, pin in

the evening and weekends.

• Do not over-pin Amazon affiliate links.• Keep a ratio of approximately ONE

affiliate link for every TEN regular pins.

• Pin a variety of topics that you enjoy.• Diversity brings a

bigger crowd.

• Pin popular topics.• The most popular boards on

Pinterest are related to food and health.

• Pin original content.• Repinning is great

but PINning gets you noticed.

• Connect to your Social Networks.• Using your Facebook and Twitter

feeds will help build your number of followers.

• Complete your board information.• Remember to

categorize your boards.

• Interact with your followers.• If someone leaves a comment, reply

to them. Start a conversation.

• Use keywords to name your boards.• What words would

someone search for? Don’t be cute.

Do other affiliate programs work with this strategy?

Some do and some don’t. Of the programs I have tried, E-Junkie products

will work when you use your product-specific affiliate link.

• Zulily works and they even have a way to pin easily!

• Bitly and most other url shorteners are marked as spam and will not work.

Why does this work?

1. When people click through your affiliate link, a cookie is placed in their computer which holds your affiliate number.

2. You will earn a commission on what they purchase within the lifetime of the cookie.

3. The life of the cookie is determined by your affiliate agreement.

Remember,

is supposed to be fun. Making money off something that you

really love is a BONUS!
