If you want to learn how to start with affiliate marketing and have YOUR OWN online business check out my tutorial:
How To Add Amazon Affiliate Link On Pinterest?
It`s very easy procces. To see how easy it is just look on this video:
Now, I will give you some rules, so you won’t look like a spammer on Pinterest:
Number 1. Always Reveal!
Keep in mind when you adding affiliate links to mention that this is an affiliate link!
In the descriptions of your PIN, Pinterest recommends that you always state that this is an affiliate link and that affiliate networks require it. You can write it in your description or use the #ad or #affiliate at the end of the description. This must be done to follow the rules of the affiliate networks and to comply with the FTC rules.
Number 2. Update Your Existing Pins
Check your very own boards and see which pins an affiliate link can be added to. Use affiliate links only for products that you used and loved. This will create trust among your followers. Make sure you maintain the quality and standards of your brand, and not focus too much on the selling out there.
Number 3. You Want To Create Boards Uniquely For Your Affiliate Products On Pinterest
Some examples would be Resources or the Best tools for WAHM. This is indeed a good alternative simply because your very own follower understands right away that clicking on your pin affiliate link will take him to where he can buy the item.
Number 4. Create Strong Pin Descriptions.
Since your PIN goes directly to the merchandiser website, not to your own blog, make sure the title and description of each PIN are informative and straightforward. You can write a couple of sentences and always disclose. Keep in mind that these titles and descriptions help Pinterest users find you (Pinterest is searching tool!). The better your pin description is, the more sales you get.
Number 5. Do Not Go Overboard
I know you see dollar signs, but do not go crazy and set thousands of affiliate links. This will quickly disconnect your followers! The use of affiliate links can be done with good taste!
Keep the aesthetics of your very own brand. If you want to really anchor with an affiliate link out there, you want to ensure your images have the same style, appearance, and also color like your brand.
With inconsistent tables and pins, you will easily lose followers and potential customers.
Number 6. You Want To Create Multiple Pinnable Images On Your Pinterest Boards.
Some products you are promoting can come with a pinnable affiliate pics or images, but it does not stop there. Consider creating your own lovely graphic which matches your personal brand. This will distinguish you from other folks that use the same pins.
Number 7. Make Use Of A Pinterest Scheduler
Programs akin to Tailwind and even BoardBooster will trickle out your very own affiliate pins so that you don’t appear spammy. Nothing at all is a whole lot worse than owning 20 affiliate pins in a line appear in your very own feed.
With a couple of clicks, you could program your affiliate links to be repinned many times.
On Tailwind try using their Board Lists function or feature to actually schedule your very own affiliate pins out to a great number of boards simultaneously!
In 4 clicks I am able to add my affiliate pin to a bunch of 40+ boards on it. This really is a big timesaver!

Number 8. You Should Never Use Short Links On Pinterest.
Meaning to say, Pretty Link, Bit .ly, and so on! In Pinterest’s TOS (Terms of service) or AUP (Acceptable Use Policy), it really is clearly prohibited.
I really like affiliate marketing strategy a lot.

I’ve been doing affiliate marketing for almost 2 years now and what I remember most is not so much about getting into the program. The real challenge lies in getting traffic to your site and then get them to convert through your affiliate links.
This is a very steep learning process and many people fall because there’s not a lot of money to make at this stage. To get traffic, you need content and to write good content, you need time and research. A lot of people don’t have the patience for this.
It’s easy to become an affiliate because you don’t need to create the product, but you’ll need to come up with a lot of marketing strategy to make that program work and create a long term income for you.
Having said that, I love doing affiliate marketing and I wish I had started this business earlier in life.
