Okay, now that we know the steps we're going to be covering, let's go ahead and move into step number one, which is going to be creating your business Pinterest profile. All you need to do for this is go over to pinterest.com. On the top right corner, you're going to select business, enter in some personal information. It's going to ask you information about your business name, website. Fill in all of that. If you don't have a website, select I don't have one, but for affiliate marketing, you definitely need one. So here's where you're going to input that website that you'll create later. Creating a business Pinterest profile is not going to take very long. It should only take 5 to 10 minutes max, depending on how much time you want to spend on it.

audience on Pinterest to actually want to click on and step number seven is going to be pinning those pins on Pinterest okay now that we know the steps we're going to be covering let's go ahead and move into step number one

Now, I do want to point out with Pinterest, they have amazing resources when it comes to affiliate marketing or trying to drive traffic to your business or drive traffic to your website. They have free resources, so I think that it's really amazing that they've updated all of this information. Whenever you create the business profile, you get access to all of these things. All of this is for free and on Pinterest for you to dive in and understand how to start creating those pins the best way. I will be discussing a little bit later on in the video about this Pinterest education portion, how to really use it for your benefit, but for now, let's go ahead and move into the next step.

ask you information about your business name website fill in all of that if you don't have a website select I don't have one but for affiliate marketing you definitely need one so here's where you're going to input that website that

All right, step number two is going to be creating that blog or website. You can choose whatever platform for this step that you would like. You can choose a free version, something like WordPress. They have a free version, or you can choose Google Blogger. They have a free version. The most important thing to understand when choosing this is just to go in and make sure that they have some nice-looking templates that you can just choose a template, input your personal information, and set it up rather easily. This step shouldn't take long. I would say like an hour or two if you want to spend a lot of time on setting that up, but it doesn't have to take long at all. For this video, I'm going to be using WordPress because WordPress is how I do my entire process for my Pinterest affiliate marketing, so I'm going to be specifically showing you WordPress, but if you want to use another blog or website, not a problem at all.

point out with Pinterest they have amazing resources when it comes to affiliate marketing or trying to drive traffic to your business or Drive traffic to your website they have free resources so I think that it's really amazing that they've updated all of this

Next step is step number three, which is actually creating those really nice and engaging blog posts for your affiliate links to live inside of. Now, the required time to create a blog post is under 5 minutes. I'm going to show you how to do that rather easily right here in this section of the video. The platform that I use, I feel, is the best platform for creating blog posts or articles or anything like that. I think it's top-notch. It is a website called SEOwriting.ai. It is free to get started, as you can see right here. No credit card is required, and you'll just input a few details to go ahead and get signed up and start looking at the platform, seeing what all it offers. And I'm going to give you a walkthrough right here of how to create those blog posts.

little bit later on in the video about this Pinterest education portion how to really use it for your benefit but for now let's go ahead and move into the next step all right step number two is going to be creating that blogg or

Now, after you've created your account, I'm just going to walk you through exactly what I personally do. So, I choose the one-click blog post, and then from here, the first step is inputting main words or ideas behind what you want the blog post to be about. Now, really quickly, I want to go back to Pinterest and show you a really cool feature that's going to show you new and upcoming trends that are really highly searched right now. So, this is free on Pinterest business platform. This is something that used to, you would have to go outside of in search or even pay to get the information on what's being highly searched or using keyword research tools. Not anymore. You can get it right off of Pinterest. What I did was clicked on Pinterest Predicts, and that's going to give you those predicted trends that are coming up. So, this is going to give you an idea for good Pinterest pins to make, things people are going to be searching for, and that has a higher probability of somebody clicking into your blog post, looking at your affiliate links, clicking, and actually buying something. So, whenever I took a look at this, the one that stood out to me the most is this one here, the Gothic home style, because this is going to be for my home Pinterest account. So, once you click into this idea, it does give you these stats, the amount of people that are searching for this topic, so it's being highly searched. I'm going to use this idea. So, back on SEOwriting for the one-click blog post, I'm going to input the word Western Gothic home decor and then just select to generate title. And then what it will do is generate an SEO-optimized title for the article. You don't have to worry about the optimization of SEO and all of these things that you have to worry about with Pinterest or a website. This will do it for you. This next section here goes over the core settings, so that includes things like your language you want it in, your tone of voice for the article here, point of view, your target country, your article size, which then gives you the amount of words to expect that it will have in it, the AI model. So, they have many to choose from, but they also have them labeled, so new, popular. For me, I'm just going to be selecting this one here. The humanized text is next, and this is one of their newer features that allows the text to be readable for the everyday person. Now, what it suggests is the 8th to 9th grade, but what I found that I personally like for it to have a little bit more maturity is the 10th to 12th grade level. It's still readable, but it is more mature in the writing. Now, the next section would be where you would put things like specific recipe ingredients or business info if it was a business article and you want that business information throughout the article. For this, I'm leaving it blank. And then the media hub is all about the media you want added into the article, so the AI images. I'm just going to put four. In the image style, I'm selecting photo, but you can choose different image styles, and then you can even input YouTube videos that are relevant. I'm going to select four and then alternate image and video. Next is the SEO keywords to include throughout the article to optimize your article or blog post. So, here I'm just going to select the auto-generate keywords button here, and it'll do it for you. You don't have to worry about it. You just select that button. And then structure is going to allow you to add your introductory hook, and you can choose a style for that if you want. I'm going to leave it blank. The next section is for the structure of...

to understand when choosing this is just to go in and make sure that they have some nice looking t templates that you can just choose a template input your personal information and set it up rather easily this step shouldn't take

long I would say like an hour or two if you want to spend a lot of time on setting that up but it doesn't have to take long at all for this video I'm going to be using Wordpress because

WordPress is how I do my entire process for my Pinterest affiliate marketing so I'm going to be specifically showing you WordPress but if you want to use another blog or website not a problem at all next step is Step number three which is

actually create creating those really nice and engaging blog posts for your affiliate links to live inside of now the required time to create a blog post is under 5 minutes I'm going to show you how to do that rather easily right here

as you can see right here no credit card is required and you'll just input a few details to go ahead and get signed up and start looking at the platform seeing what all it offers and I'm going to give

you a walkr right here of how to create those blog posts now after you've created your account I'm just going to walk you through exactly what I personally do so I choose the oneclick blog post and then from here the first

step is inputting main words or ideas behind what you want the blog post to be about now really quickly I want to go back to Pinterest and show you a really cool feature that's going to show you new and upcoming trends that are really

highly searched right now so this is free on Pinterest business platform this is something that used to you would have to go outside of in search or even pay to get the information on what's being highly searched or using keyword

research tools not anymore you can get it right off of Pinterest what I did was clicked on Pinterest predicts and that's going to give you those predicted trends that are coming up so this is going to give you an idea for good Pinterest pins

to make things people are going to be searching for and that has a higher probability of somebody clicking into your blog post looking at your affiliate links clicking and actually buying something so whenever I took a look at

this the one that stood out to me the most is this one here the gothic home style because this is going to be for my home Pinterest account so once you click into this idea it does give you these

stats the amount of people that are searching for this topic so it's being highly searched I'm going to use this idea so back on SEO writing for the oneclick blog post I'm going to input the word Western Gothic home decor and

then just select to generate title and then what it will do is generate an SEO optimized title for the article you don't have to worry about the optimization of SEO and all of these things that you have to worry about with

Pinterest or a website this will do it for you this next section here goes over the core settings so that includes things like your language you want it in your tone of voice for the article here point of view your target country your

article size which then gives you the amount of words to expect that it will have in it the AI model so they have many to choose from but they also have them labeled so new popular for me I'm

just going to be selecting this one here the humanized text is next and this is one of their newer features that allows the text to be readable for the everyday a person now what it suggests is the 8th

to 9th grade but what I found that I personally like for it to have a little bit more maturity is the 10th to 12th grade level it's still readable but it is more mature in the writing now the

next section would be where you would put things like specific recipe ingredients or business info if it was a business article and you want that business information throughout the article for this I'm leaving it blank and then the media hub is all about the

media you want added into the article so the AI images I'm just going to put four in the image style I'm selecting photo but you can choose different image Styles and then you can even input YouTube videos that are relevant I'm

I'm going to leave it blank the next section is for the structure of the article so also do you want conclusions quotes key takeaways italics bold throughout the article you know those things you can choose yes or no on the

internal linking is one of their newest features and this will index your website identify the most relevant pages and then Auto automatically insert links within your article to other pages on your blog now because I use a paid

WordPress version I already have my site here it's already connected so I'm just going to select that and then the external linking I'm selecting none the connect to web feature will allow for access to the Deep Web so whenever it's

creating this article it's going to search the deep web for the most relevant and accurate information to input into your blog post so I'm selecting yes for this and for this blog post I don't really feel citations are

relevant I'm going to select the source links and then if you want the outline editor all you have to do is Select this little button here for me I leave it alone and then from there all I do is

scroll back up to the top and select this button here run in total that took about 3 minutes to complete this entire article and here's that completed article you can see how stunning this article is it really is well crafted

well written I typically will read through it it inputs beautiful photos that really enhance the article along with really relevant YouTube videos now I have had a couple of questions about whether or not YouTube videos are a good

idea so for example maybe somebody will click into your article see the YouTube video and then click away what I would suggest is if you have a fear of this then you can input a lot of affiliate links before the YouTube videos or just

not add in the YouTube videos if you feel that that may be taking away from your traffic to your affiliate links either way it's up to you they have the option if you want it if you don't want

it no problem just don't select it and then also I've had another question about how to change the YouTube video that it selects now if you want to take the video away once you post it onto your blog you can add in any video you

want it's not a problem so you don't have to worry about that if you want to edit this article before you post it onto your blog or before you put it as a draft on your blog all you have to do is

click the edit button and then take away or change what you want throughout that before you put it onto your blog but you can also edit it once you put it onto your blog as a draft and I'm going to show you how to

do that as well to input those affiliate links inside okay now let's go over how to really quickly publish this article onto your blog post again this is if you have WordPress because WordPress has a plugin for SEO writing. as you can see

here so all you have to do is integrate it and then from there it's super super easy they do have instructions on how to do that on SEO writing. now if you're using the free version of Wordpress the

plug-in will not be available however you can just select this copy and paste onto the free version keep in mind if you're doing the copy and paste the photos and the videos will not copy and paste so just keep that in mind if

you're connected like me with the WordPress all you have to do from here is Select publish and because I already have that plug-in I just select it as a draft and then I can just select publish and then once I do that it's on my

website as a draft for me to go in and add those affiliate links really quickly before we move into adding those affiliate links I want to show you another really cool feature with SEO writing that is going to allow you to

create up to 100 articles at once with one click so this feature is extremely similar to the oneclick blog post however the options at the top here are slightly different so for this section you're going to Simply input a general

main keyword allow it to create everything for you you can keep adding as many rows as you would like and then you can schedule those post onto your blog so then all you have to do is set it and forget it or if you want just go

in whenever you're ready to post them and post them either way is fine if you want to get started with SEO writing. a here's the subscription plan services that you can choose from as you can see you can start for free for $0 it does

give you five article generations with 5,000 words it offers the humanized text the top quality AI images and the auto citations if you're going to be using it more than that if you really want to get into the Pinterest affiliate marketing

the starter is $19 a month and then the professional $79 a month now I do have a coupon code I'm going to put right here on the screen also linked in the description box down below so please use

that coupon code so that you can get that discount on their plans okay step number four is finding and joining affiliate programs the time that this step will take is going to vary it's going to depend on how much time you

want to take my recommendation is always to at least sign up with Amazon Associates affiliate program anybody can do it the countries that are allowed to do it are really broad they have tons of countries that they allow to sign up for

their affiliate program and also the reason I like Amazon Associates is because they have such a vast majority of products so no matter which Niche you're choosing they're more than likely going to have a product on their website

for you to add a link into a blog or web post about other options are looking for referral programs with companies and products that you use in love so for me I also was recommending my bank which I

use in love which is Sofi Link in the description box down below I was using them and I had many signups by utilizing them and their referral program is really amazing you do need to be a member to do that however you could look

for your own bank do they offer credit cards offer great referral programs products like this pin right here that I created that's about staying healthy keeping your body healthy magic mind is a product right here that I personally

use in love so when I use my refer a friend code inside of a blog post about staying healthy and this is one of the products that I use when somebody also decides to make a purchase with it I get

affiliate commission and free product which works out for me because I already drink it so this is what I'm talking about with using things that products that you use in love it can save you money it can get you an affiliate

commission and it's it's a really nice way to go about affiliate marketing so I would suggest always signing up with Amazon Associates cuz it's free and why not they have such a vast majority of products to choose from and then also

finding products and services that you use and love asking hey do you have a referral program reaching out finding your referral code and adding it into these blogs okay step number five is going to be adding your affiliate links

inside your blog post so I want to touch on how to do that in this video some people can get confused on this step so I want to make it extremely clear here I am on the back end of my blog on the

WordPress and as you can see here's the draft for that article article that I just created so I'm just going to click into it and then once you click into it it's going to bring up the article and

allow you to edit it so if you just click on it you can select edit right here any blog that you choose or website that you choose is going to be pretty similar to this like I said I'm doing

WordPress but whatever blog post you use the editing is going to be extremely similar so what you would do is just select edit and then it's going to bring up the entire article where you can go in and add affiliate links inside to

things maybe you found on Amazon that you want to add in for people to easily click and buy people like the easability of going from here to there and actually just buying whatever it's suggesting so let's go ahead and take a look and see

what type of things we may want to add as affiliate links inside so right off the bat I can see right here under introduction to Western Gothic design you can see that it says it's giving some things about what makes a nice

Western gothic look dark walls and deep Navy or rich brown tones immediately I think right here a wallpaper so what I can do is go over to Amazon and on Amazon you're going to want to be signed in to the account that you created your

Amazon Associates with all you need to do is be on amazon.com signed in with the account that you have an Amazon Associates account with and then right here on the the search bar we're just going to pick p in that idea so I'm

going to put wallpaper in deep navy blue or rich brown tones search for me I kind of like this almost black look I think this is looking like what was in the article so from here if when you find your

affiliate product click on it make sure you're into the product here as you can see that's what the product will look like go up here to the left where it says get link text there's your link right there and

let me show you how to add this into your article so from here here's your link for this product that you would get a commission off of Select copy go back to your blog or website and right here

under this portion you can put buy wallpaper here make sure you put it in like bold or something and then after you've done that you can select link once it's highlighted select link and you can input your affiliate link right

there and then now if somebody is reading this they can see buy wallpaper here it's going to light up they can select it it's going to take them right over to that wallpaper that you just found on Amazon that you want to suggest

for them to buy that's a part of this Western Gothic style the amount of time that you should expect to take on inputting affiliate links into articles is up to you in how many affiliate links you want to add inside how much do you

enjoy doing that and what are your articles even about so it's really going to depend on your Niche what your articles are about how many affiliate links you put inside what type of product you're recommending maybe you're just recommending one or two products no

problem you would input one or two links that portion is all up to you okay step number six is designing Pinterest pens the amount of time it can take to create a Pinterest pen will vary I would say

give yourself in the beginning 10 to 15 minutes to learn how to create one I'm going to go over the steps with you really quickly so that you know how to create one really easily after you get the hang of it 5 minutes okay it doesn't

have to be complicated and in fact the old style of pins where you're like adding in a ton of pictures and stuff is kind of like slightly outdated you don't really have to do that now I still see

that style on Pinterest but in fact there are other styles that may be easier to make that look a lot more modern so that's what I want to go over with you here the platform that I use for my Pinterest

pins creation is canva they have a free version in which you can use to create Pinterest pens so on the home of canva under Pinterest pin as you can see I searched it up here look at all of the

thousands of different options that they have for Pinterest pin ideas Pinterest pin templates all you have to do is Click into it and then then use it so I'm looking at this one I think it looks really nice really attractive as you can

see it's one photo I'm going to customize this template and then from here the photo I'm going to add is a western Gothic piece of Home Decor so what I'm going to do is delete this photo right here I'm going to go over

here to the left under elements search elements I'm going to input Western Gothic home decor from here I'm going to select photos and you can see like here's photos of Western gothic look depending on what you want so you can just scroll down find a photo

that looks good that may be relevant and that's eye-catching for people so I found a photo that I like what I'm going to do is just scale this first photo to be in the very back and then this next

one I'm going to put in the center and then the words are going to say West Gothic you can select the words by just clicking and highlighting and then up here you can change the font to change it to more of like a Gothic type of font

I'm going to change the color right up here just select text color and you can choose I'm going to choose like a deep Brown and you can use coolers for this I've mentioned coolers before it's right here where you can choose different

color palettes it's completely free you can just quickly come over over here choose the color that you want like that copy go back to canva and just paste that color right here and it's going to keep make it really easy for you and

there it changed the color you can put an effect under it effects are right here the background like that that looks really nice actually I'm going to change the color of the background to more of a cream and then from there you can just

input the name of the pen so Western Gothic home decor under shap you would just select download and then download again and then you have the photo for your Pinterest pin to go in now and upload your completed pin okay the very

last step is now uploading your completed Pinterest pin onto your business Pinterest profile so in order to do that all you need to do is be on your homepage go up to the left under Pinterest create content and then create

pin right here now what you're going to do is choose the file that you just created your Pinterest pin photo from your computer right there it is you just open it upload it now that's your Pinterest pin from here all you need to

do is fill in the details that it's requiring you to fill in for the link is where you're going to input the link for your blog post so just go back to your blog copy the link paste it in here and

then select publish when you're ready to publish it a couple of things I've learned along the way with Pinterest affiliate marketing is the Pinterest platform does change so they will will change their guidelines they will change what they consider to be spam they will

change how you can tag products in pins how sometimes they take away the ability to tag products in your pins I have had an entire account where I didn't do the blog I only tagged products and they banned the account stating that it was

spam like content and I had spent time creating my pins making them really attractive at the time though I was not using a blog or website as the middleman and so I guess they found that spammy and so I was using the tag products

feature for my affiliate links but then they literally banned the entire account that I had done all of that work on this is why now I always recommend utilizing a website it seems now on their platform they've adjusted to maybe where you

don't need a website however in order to really secure yourself and keep yourself safe because this platform does change and they can change up their rules on you and they can totally ban your account because they may feel like it's

too much spam like it's too much just affiliate links you know something to that nature and they don't really give you a great explanation behind it so I do talk about it I have an entire playlist about my journey with affiliate

marketing you know up to this point I've made right under $1,000 doing this I know it's a side hustle that can work I don't put a ton of time into it but I've still been able to bring in that income

from affiliate links sign up with programs the bank that I suggest signing up with products like my magic mind I've received like a couple $40 referrals plus free products for this so I know that this one can work I've done it I

have a whole playlist on it just understand that Pinterest platform does change I've been doing this going on a year now so I've seen the platform change its rules like three times within one year that's why I just want you to

keep yourself covered that's why I recommend a Blog that's why I recommend you know making sure those blog posts look really nice and professional and not spammy making sure you keep yourself covered so that you don't input work

time and effort and then get blocked or and then get your pins blocked you know anything like that so this is why I recommend what I recommend like I said I have experience doing this so if you find you have any questions at all drop
