Welcome or welcome back to my I Tried It series, where I try outside hustles found here on YouTube to see whether or not they actually work and whether you can make a little bit of extra money from them. Now, today I have an update on my Pinterest affiliate marketing that I started roughly three months ago. Whenever I first started this, I really didn't think that it would be successful, but I am happy to report that I have been able to produce an income from the Pinterest affiliate marketing.

Speaker A
Pinterest affiliate marketing that I started roughly 3 months ago whenever I first started this I really didn't think that it would be successful but I am happy to report that I have been able to produce an income from the Pinterest
00:22
Speaker A
Today, I want to dive into the behind the scenes of exactly what I do. I want to walk you all through it step by step so that you can also start producing an income from it. In my second video, I told you guys about how I started a blog, and on my blog, I use a tool called SEO Writing.ai in order to create blog posts in order to put my affiliate links inside.
00:32
Speaker A
second video I told you guys about how I started a Blog and on my blog I use a tool called SEO writing. aai in order to create blog post in order to put my affiliate links inside created this
00:44
Speaker A
I created this entire blog right here that includes pictures, videos, products, all types of things directly into the blog post. It creates a beautiful, organized blog post with one click, and then I was able to schedule it directly onto my blog. Now, before we get into all of the steps and how to do everything, first things first, I want to discuss my earnings.
00:58
Speaker A
before we get into all of the steps and how to do everything first things first I want to discuss my earnings one thing that I learned and I want to point out right here at the beginning is that with
01:08
Speaker A
One thing that I learned and I want to point out right here at the beginning is that with Amazon Associates, the affiliate program with Amazon, if you do not bring in a certain amount, they do close out your account. But that should not worry you. You can immediately sign up with a new account within five minutes. It's going to be opened with a new account.
01:20
Speaker A
be opened with a new account in the beginning whenever I first started this a couple of months ago I had three purchases from clicks on my Pinterest pens those three initial purchases produced I think maybe. 75 cents or $1
01:34
Speaker A
In the beginning, whenever I first started this a couple of months ago, I had three purchases from clicks on my Pinterest pins. Those three initial purchases produced, I think, maybe 75 cents or a dollar from those three purchases. So they did close out the account. I think it has to be $10 anyway. I immediately opened up a new one. This is my current dashboard over here on the right. You can see total items shipped one, total earnings so far from this one purchase is 51 cents, total ordered items one, clicks 68 clicks, and the conversion is 1.47%. So this is from the last two weeks since I've opened up my new Amazon account.
01:46
Speaker A
items shipped one total earnings so far from this one purchase is 51 cents total ordered items one clicks 68 clicks and the conversion is 1.47% so this is from the last two weeks since I've opened up my new Amazon
02:02
Speaker A
Now, additional income did come from this one pin right here on my Pinterest board that talks about SoFi being the best bank. So far, from that specific pin, I have gotten three referral signups with SoFi equaling $225. So altogether, I've earned roughly $228 from doing my Pinterest affiliate marketing.
02:20
Speaker A
$228 from doing my Pinterest affiliate marketing now I want to say in complete honesty that I do not post on Pinterest as much as I could and as much as I should in in order to maximize my earnings if you go over to my Pinterest
02:33
Speaker A
Now, I want to say in complete honesty that I do not post on Pinterest as much as I could and as much as I should in order to maximize my earnings. If you go over to my Pinterest board, you're going to see that I upload maybe once every month or one to two times a month. And so, to have earned $228 from doing this really does make a difference, and that would be considered passive income. So in this video, I'm going to be going through every single step that you need in order to get started for yourself. This one's going to be a bit of a longer video, so grab your cup of coffee or tea and let's dive into the video.

02:56
Speaker A
Step one is going to be creating a blog or website. Now, the reason that this step should be number one is because when you open a Pinterest business account, it is going to ask you for a website. I personally use WordPress for my blog because it integrates perfectly with the tool that I use for my blog posts, which is SEO Writing.ai. So the integration is very beautiful with those two platforms, and that's why I use WordPress. But if you choose another website, do not worry. Just know that in step number one, choose your website, get started, and let's go ahead and move into step number two.

blog no matter which website you use you're going to be able to edit your blogs don't worry for me on WordPress I just select edit and then I can go in and I can add my affiliate links anywhere I'm going to give you all a
11:12
Speaker A
general idea of how to add in affiliate link first thing you're going to want to do is go through and sort of do a read of your blog it can be brief or it can be extensive depending on exactly how
11:23
Speaker A
you want to do it and get an idea of the things that it is suggesting get an idea of the things that you could ad that would be relevant for your blog so for example embracing holistic Wellness involves nurturing spiritual growth
11:37
Speaker A
prioritizing mental health and taking care of physical health in this type of blog post you can add affiliate links that are concerning physical health workout gear water bottles you know or you for spiritual growth you can add in
11:50
Speaker A
meditative journals meditative books are things that you personally use for these specific topics so right here at the beginning of the blog I'm going to add add in something that's pertaining to a mental health and spiritual health Journal so on my Amazon account I'm
12:07
Speaker A
going to go in on Amazon and I'm going to search something to this nature so I'm going to input meditative journal for mental health and here it's bringing up a lot of different journals you can choose the one that you feel is most
12:24
Speaker A
relevant that you like the best and once you're into the product over here on the left where it says get link text right there is your short link you're going to want to use just go ahead and copy
12:38
Speaker A
it go back to your blog post and you're going to put something like this click here to purchase a 365 days Soul Therapy Journal on Amazon go ahead and make that bold whichever website you're using make it bold and then you should have a
12:53
Speaker A
little button where it says insert link once it's highlighted so then there you're going to just paste your affiliate link and voila you're going to go throughout your whole article you're going to add in affiliate things that you feel are relevant to your article
13:12
Speaker A
and then you're going to select save after that you can go ahead and publish it onto your website now I am going to say that at first this did take me some time to learn but after doing it just a
