About a week ago I made this website a Teens Make Money OnlinePinterest page. After pinning some of this websites articles, I kind of forgotten that I had joined the website. Earlier today I logged on to find that I had over 100 followers. Not too bad for literally making a page, pinning some articles and forgetting about it. Now my goal by joining Pinterest was not to make money for myself, but instead to get Teens With Money some more exposure through social media marketing. But the fact that I was able to get so many followers by doing literally nothing made me wonder if it was possible to monetize a Pinterest board. I went to Google and discovered that yes it is possible, and it’s actually quite easy. Let me share with you a few ways.Promotion of Affiliate Links
Clickbank is an amazing way to make money online through affiliate marketing. For those of you who don’t know what Clickbank is, it is a website that pays its users to promote others products. For every sale that you make through your referral link, you are paid a commission, and usually a pretty hefty one at that. The secret to making money through affiliate marketing is to find a specific niche of products and promote those products on a website that you have created. For example, you could promote health related products and create a fitness website where you promote these products, given that you know information on fitness related topics. After you have your niche of products and website created, make a board on Pinterest and pin articles back to your website where visitors can see and click on your affiliate products. I was able to get over 100 followers without following anyone back, which speaks volumes to how easily your content is seen on Pinterest. If you take the time to strategize a plan and follow people who will follow back, you could probably get thousands of followers a week. The secret is just to create a lot of content and pin all of the content that you create. These followers will translate to more doors to your Pinterest boards and ultimately more affiliate sales. It really is very easy to manage this method and is perfect for teens making money online.

Offer a Service
If you have a talent that others are willing to pay you for, then Pinterest is the perfect way to make money for yourself. For example, say you are really good at editing videos or designing websites. Create a portfolio board on Pinterest where you can show-off your video editing or website design skills. Another idea could be to create a testimonials board where you showcase positive testimonials from prior buyers. This is a great way to get your name out there and show others how legit your service really is. You could also create a board where you promote a tip each week on your prospective talents so others are drawn in to follow you and maybe even pay you for your work. The more traffic that you have to your boards means the better chances that people will pay you for your service.
Make Money With Adsense
By pinning articles from your website to Pinterest you will ultimately be increasing the traffic to your website. This is very similar to making money with affiliate marketing, but visitors will click on your Adsense ads instead of buying an affiliate product. You could even be promoting affiliate products on top of your website’s ads so you have multiple ways to earn money through your website. When I first created my Pinterest account for this website I had no idea how useful it would be in my online money making journey. But since I have, the traffic to this website has gone up and I have a lot more money in my pocket as a result.
TIP: Use the website Piktochart to make custom infographics for your Pinterest boards. Infographics are informative pictures that are easy on the eyes and contain a lot of information. These attractive infographics are more likely to be re-pinned, which will increase your followers and website traffic, resulting in more conversions.
All in all, Pinterest is an amazing way to increase your websites traffic and gain exposure. By launching an effective Pinterest campaign you could see your websites traffic exponentially increase and hopefully make yourself more money. While you cannot directly make money through Pinterest, if you have a good strategy you can make yourself a lot of money online by utilizing it successfully. However, it is important to realize that Pinterest is all about the image you are pinning. If you dont have an effective image then no one will read your content and you wont make any money. As always, best of luck to you all!
