How to make money with Pinterest without a blog?
To be honest, it’s pretty hard to find good affiliate programs
for Pinterest without a website but don’t be discouraged
there are other programs you can promote via
Pinterest without a blog to make money!
These are usually called referral programs and
you have to be signed up thir website to the product
yourself to refer it.
Some examples of these would be Ebates and Dosh.
Both of these are cash-back programs that have referral links to invite people.
Ebates gives you $25 for each friend you invite that spends at least $25 in the next 90 days
and Dosh gives you $5 for each friend that signs up and links a debit or credit card!

Keep in mind that some referral sites pay cash, some pay in gift cards and some pay in credit.
Note: referral programs can change at any time, they are a bit less reliable than affiliate programs but it is one of the best ways to make money on Pinterest without a blog!
Here is a list of some referral programs you can promote on Pinterest:
Ebates
Dosh
Swagbucks
Boxed
Airbnb
Ibotta
When you sign up for a referral program or affiliate programyou will be given a link to promote so you can start monetizing Pinterest!
Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to use Pinterest to make money!
Let’s see how we can put this all together and learn how to make an affiliate pin on Pinterest…
How To Make Money On Pinterest Without A Blog ?
Using everything you learned so far, let’s promote our first affiliate pin on Pinterest!So first you need to find a product or service to promote, for this example,
I’ll use Ebates and stick with my pin design above
which is about saving money on clothes.
I already have my Pin created for this example but if you don’t head over to Canva and start designing your pin using the tips in the Pin Design section.
Here is my click-worthy pin:
Good Pinterest pin example
Now find some good keywords to use in your pin description. For example for this pin, here are some keywords I would use:
Tips to save money
Save money on clothes
Fashion on a budget
Money-saving ideas
Look at the Pinterest Keyword Research section to learn how to do your keyword research.Also, make sure you have a relevant board to save this pin to. For example, it will be fine to pin this pin to a board named “fashion” but it will be much better to pin this pin to a board named “fashion on a budget”.
Check out the Pinterest Boards SEO section to learn how to set up your boards properly.
Great! Now that you have this all set up,
just go on Pinterest and select create a pin and
then drag and drop or browse for your pin.
Add a strong title with a keyword for your pin,
I’ll call this pin “Save money on clothes instantly with this tool”.
Now, add a description using the keywords you found.
Lastly, add your affiliate/referral link and choose
the most relevant board to pin to.

Hit save and you just learned how to make an affiliate pin on Pinterest!
Your pin will now be listed on the board where you pinned it, you can now pin it to other relevant boards including group boards.
Don’t expect your pin to rank for the keywords instantly, it takes time for Pinterest to rank pins so be patient.
This is why building up your Pinterest followers is so important because once you create a pin it will be sent out in front of most of your followers!
When someone clicks your pin they will be taken to the affiliate/referral page and if they sign up you will get paid!
For example, if someone clicks the pin I created they will be taken to my Ebates referral page where they will see this screen:
Ebates referral link signup page
That’s all there is on how to make money on Pinterest without a blog using affiliate marketing!
Sign up to more affiliate\referral programs and create more pins. You can create more than one pin for each program targeting different keywords to further expand your reach.
Remember to pin different pins to different boards and don’t go pin crazy or else your account can be flagged as spam.
That’s it!
But honestly, this can get pretty intense…
For example, if you have created 100’s of pins and you have about 100 boards, you can spend all of your time pinning on Pinterest.
Luckily there is a tool where you can automate this and schedule all your pins with a click of a button!
Let’s get to it.
Automated Pinning
The best tool to use to schedule all your pins with the click of a button while you sit back and collect your money is Tailwind!
Tailwind is a Pinterest approved scheduler that will allow you to automate all of your pinning with a few simple steps.
I recommend using Tailwind after you built up your account to a solid standing because it is a paid tool and you will get more use out of Tailwind when your Pinterest account has some authority.
If you are ready to use Tailwind sign up with my link and get a free trial!
So, even if you want to test it out you can sign up with my link to get a free trial and then cancel it if you feel like Tailwind is not right for you.
At the Tailwind main screen choose to sign up with Pinterest:
Sign up to Tailwind account
Then allow Tailwind access to your Pinterest account.
Allow Tailwind access to Pinterest account
You will then get a screen to fill out your account details, create a secure password and select the blogger option.
set up Tailwind account
Tailwind will then prompt you to install their extension for Chrome, Firefox or Safari. I highly recommend installing the extension.
I won’t go over too much here because when you create your Tailwind account they will take you through an extensive tutorial about everything you need to know.
Watch the “Mastering Tailwind” video where they will take you through all the features Tailwind offers, which is a lot!
Setup your pinning schedule, I recommend starting at 10 pins a day and then work your way up so you don’t get flagged as spam.
Set the schedule for time throughout the day but focus mostly on times between 8 pm – 11 pm EST since this time period has the most active users.
Just upload your pin to Tailwind, fill out a description, add your affiliate link, choose your boards and schedule!
After you schedule multiple pins, your schedule will look something like this:
Tailwind schedule example of Pinterest pins
Tailwind will do all the work for you while you sit back, relax and collect cash!
Super Money Tip: Use Tailwind to free up your time and automate your pinning so you can make money even while you sleep!
Also, you will get access to reports and tools that you can use to grow you Pinterest account fast!

Michael,
Super Brilliant Article. I have started using pinterest but couldn’t continue because results are not satisfying. And, It takes a lot time designing and filling description. Plus, You have to come up with right keywords too. Hopefully, this article again sparked my interest and I’m ready to take hold of it once again. Will endeavour to get better outcomes following your strategy. Hats off.

All the best on your journey Ashish!

Thanks for sharing! This is so useful. I have my Pinterest Account already set up with 8k followers and I’d like to earn some money through Amazon Affiliate. Does it work with Amazon? I’m already signed up and make some bucks but not a lot, I think this would be a great idea and I already have a niche. Thank you for your response!

Hello Lola, thanks for commenting. You’re off to a great start on Pinterest and I’m glad you found this post useful! Unfortunately, Pinterest does not work with Amazon, it is against their rules. You just have to keep looking for affiliate programs and networks that allow their affiliate links on Pinterest. Good luck!

Hey Michael,
My name is Kevin. Great article. I have been doing Pinterest affiliate marketing without a blog/website for almost 4 months but still haven’t made a sale. Would it be possible if I could chat with you or show you my work and see what I am doing wrong/things I need to do better? I was hoping I would at least make one sale before the end of the year and I need all the help I can get on this. Otherwise, I would have to try to find something different to pursue. Thank you.
