A Beginner’s Guide to Making Money on Pinterest

Let’s be real. You probably open Pinterest the same way I used to: Looking for outfit inspo, home décor, recipes, or dream vacation vibes… saving pins and thinking, “ugh, I wish this was my life.”

Same.

But here’s what nobody told me until way later:That little Pinterest habit could actually be making you money.

And I don’t mean influencer money or “you need 100K followers” money.I’m talking regular-person money — with affiliate marketing.

Wait…What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is super simple:

  • You sign up for a brand’s affiliate program (many are free—Amazon, Etsy, Canva, etc.).
  • They give you a special trackable link to promote their product.
  • You share that link on Pinterest (through a pin).
  • When someone clicks it and buys, you earn a commission.

No need to create your own product. No customer service. No inventory.
Just share the stuff you already love — and get paid when people shop through you.

It’s kind of like being a virtual middleman… who gets rewarded.

And Pinterest is perfect for it, because it’s not just a social app — it’s a search engine where people are already looking for things to buy.

Real People Are Doing This — Without Being Famous

  • Becca makes up to £8,000/month using Pinterest and affiliate links. She doesn’t have a huge following. She just pins consistently and knows how to use keywords.
  • Stephanie Hulsey earns $40K–$50K/month (yes, seriously) using Amazon affiliate links and Pinterest. She works just a few hours a day — no blog, no tech skills.

This stuff works… and it’s way more beginner-friendly than you think.

3 Steps to Get Started

  1. Create a Pinterest business account — It’s free and gives you access to analytics and tools.
  2. Pick a niche you like — Think home decor, budgeting, wellness, fashion.
  3. Post affiliate-linked pins consistently — That’s it. Focus on quality + keywords.

Don’t overthink it. Your pins don’t need to go viral — they just need to be searchable.

My Shortcut to Making $5K/Month on Pinterest

When I started, I had zero clue what I was doing. I wasted hours Googling everything, second-guessing myself, and creating pins that got zero clicks.

But once I figured out a strategy — and stuck to it — Pinterest became my quiet little income stream. I now earn around $5K/month from pins that continue working even when I’m offline.

And because I don’t want you wasting time like I did, I turned everything I’ve learned into a step-by-step system:
