Some, like Etsy, won’t allow links on Pinterest. If you take a course or buy an ebook from a blogger and you love it, see if they have an affiliate program that allows you to share your link on Pinterest.īefore starting a new affiliate marketing campaign on Pinterest, you should always read your agreement with every affiliate program you promote.

If you’re searching for affiliate programs to promote on Pinterest, I suggest you start with Share A Sale, Zazzle, and possibly Amazon. You get 14% per sale, the cookies are 45 days, and you don’t need a website to join! They have lots of fun apparel and accessories you can promote.īut did you know that you can pin images with your affiliate link straight from their site? I’ll show you how later in the post. You’ll need to read your affiliate agreements to understand how the company whose products you are promoting handles cookies and multiple referrals. Also, if it’s a product many bloggers are recommending, sometimes the first blogger to refer gets the commission and sometimes it’s the last. Some companies allow 30 days or more cookie duration (that is how long after they click your link you will get credit for the sale) and some are as few as 24 hours. Some companies pay a higher commission than others. All affiliate links are not created equal! If the person then buys that product, you get a commission for making the referral. In case you don’t know what affiliate links are, an affiliate link is a web address or URL that sends the person who clicks it to a product listing. Just make sure you’re doing it right, and you’ll be counting your money all the way to the bank! Affiliate links defined

That being said, affiliate marketing is 100% allowed on Pinterest, and it’s an easy side hustle that can quickly increase your income. Failing to pin appropriately and make the required disclosures can get you marked as spam, cause you to lose followers, and even get you sued by the FTC. If you’re posting affiliate links on Pinterest, you need to make sure that you’re following all the rules.
