Do you know that you can actually make money with Pinterest? All you need is the right method and some guidance.
Pinterest may seem like a simple photo-sharing platform at first look, and I used to think so too.
However, not long ago, I discovered that you can actually make money through Pinterest, specifically through affiliate marketing.
You’ve probably heard of Amazon affiliate marketing, but what about Pinterest affiliate marketing?
Since Pinterest is mainly used for pinning photos and stories, you might wonder how money can be made from it.
If you’re curious about all this, let me explain everything to you.
How Do You Use Pinterest to Make Money?
Yes, it’s true that Pinterest is a platform for sharing photos, stories, and posts, where people pin various types of content like recipes, photos, guides, quotes, etc.
However, Pinterest itself doesn’t pay you anything, but you can use Pinterest to monetize your other platforms organically and earn money such as Affiliate Marketing, Selling Products, Promoting Blogs and Websites, etc.
It has become even easier to make money through Pinterest since the launch of ChatGPT.
This guide will take you through, how to use Chatgpt and Pinterest to make money in a simple way. Also, how to start a profitable business using Amazon and Pinterest.
Make Money from Pinterest By Affiliate Marketing
1. Start with Impact Affiliate
To begin, you’ll need to get your affiliate links from a marketplace. One recommended marketplace is Impact. Impact serves as a hub where you can collaborate with various brands and products.
It’s globally accessible, free to join, and hosts over 2,500 distinct brands and products across several niches. Affiliating with Impact gives you the chance to earn enormous commissions (with 30-40% recurring commissions quite common).
Once you’ve created your Impact affiliate account, explore the various niches and apply to the affiliate programs that suit your interest. Note that many brands automatically approve affiliates.
2. Use ChatGPT for Pin Creation
Now that you have your affiliate links, the next step involves content creation for your Pinterest Pins using Chat GPT.
For example, if you aim to promote Adobe Premiere Pro, you can generate Pin titles and descriptions by asking Chat GPT relevant questions.
Try asking it: “Give me four reasons why Adobe Premiere Pro is the best for video editing software.”

Based on its responses, you’ll be able to put together engaging pins for your targeted audience.
You can then command ChatGPT to organize the generated points into a spreadsheet with distinct columns for the main points and detailed descriptions. Each point-description pair can serve as content for an individual Pin.
Lastly, invite Chat GPT to create four exciting Pin titles for each point. Include emojis to enhance engagement.
3. Designing Pinterest Pins with Canva
Once you have your Pin content ready, go to Canva to create your Pins. Canva has both a free and a paid version. It offers many design templates and a big library of free-to-use stock photos and videos.
In Canva, you can choose a preset Pinterest pin template or make a design that fits your style. When picking a pin template, it’s good to choose ones with big, easy-to-read text for better viewing on mobile devices.
Next, add the texts generated by ChatGPT to your Pins. You can also change the background photos and text colors if needed. Remember to save your designs as PNG files for the best image quality.
To improve your Pinterest SEO, rename the saved images on your computer to include your main keywords before uploading them.

4. Adding Pins to Pinterest using Linktree
After creating your Pins, it’s time to add them to Pinterest.
To do this, you’ll need a tool that shortens your links without raising red flags on Pinterest, and that’s where Linktree comes in. This free-to-use tool lets you promote multiple affiliate products from a single page.
Once you’ve finished setting up Linktree, add your products and then copy the provided short link. Paste this link on Pinterest as your destination link for each Pin.
After uploading your Pins, you’ll need to select a fitting board on your account and publish them. To ensure continuous Pinterest traffic, try to schedule three to five new Pins daily.
