4. Make Money Selling Your Own Products Through Pinterest

One of the most effective ways to drive impressions on your Pinterest account is to repin third-party pins. However, if you want to convert that traffic to cash then it is highly recommended that you leverage the search engine to sell your own products. Concentrate on creating interesting pins that tell a story rather than posting standard product announcements and you will notice a major difference in conversions.

5. Invest in a Sponsored Pin

A sponsored pin is similar to a Facebook boost. The Pinterest platform offers you the opportunity to extend your market reach by purchasing a sponsored pin. Invest in sponsored pins to drive traffic to your blog, products and or services as well as maximize social rewards earnings. It is highly that you build your audience before investing in a sponsored pin to achieve better results.

6. Make Money from a Company Sponsorship Through Pinterest

As you build your audience on Pinterest your influence will increase. Take advantage of your growing popularity to assist brands in communicating their marketing message. This can be achieved by selling sponsorship packages.

7. Leverage a Shared Board to Make Money

A shared board is a board of pins that are shared between two or more parties. Once created the board will show up on the profile pages of all collaborators. Leverage shared boards to drive impressions and subsequently clickthroughs. The more traffic you send to your website, the more you may potentially earn.

8. Market Your Products with SEO

SEO stands for search engine optimization. It's argued that it’s the key to success in a consumer driven digital world. SEO is important because it takes advantage of keywords to ensure that you rank higher in search results. Embed keywords in your Pinterest profile “about” section and pin description.

9. Become a Pinterest Content Contributor

Pinterest Content Contributors are individuals that work behind the scenes to create pins and landing page content for busy businesses. Often these brands will pay you an hourly, per article/pin or monthly fee to create content for them. Target small businesses that don't have a creative team, and you cant go wrong.

10. Participate in a Joint Promotion

Pinterest joint promotions are collaborations between brands and content creators. When executing a joint promotion a pin is hosted on the brands profile page or the content creators page. Regardless of where it is hosted the end goal is to drive traffic for mutual benefit. The brand as well as the creator realize traffic and the creator receives payment for his/her contribution.

11. Become a Pinterest Virtual Assistant

Not every company has the time or knowledge to generate sales via Pinterest. That’s where a Pinterest virtual assistant comes in. Virtual assistants are individuals who work for brands that do not have the time to manage their account. Pinterest virtual assistants create images, create pins, implement SEO strategies, source collaboration partners and perform other tasks.
