grandstar: Sorry for not updating you guys. I have been finding it a bit challenging
I had super high hopes when I joined Pinterest. I thought I could get a deluge of traffic overnight but it has not been the case. So far, I doubt I've gotten more than 5 visitors to my site.
Should that be a reason for despair? No.
Why? To make it on any platform, you need to understand it. The best way to understand it after reading about it is to get into it and experience it. That is the School of Hard Knocks. I am going through the learning process hard.
What I have discovered so far
1. Impressions Impressions aren't clicks. They simply mean how many times your Pin has appeared or has been seen. It is like seeing a banner ad. Simply seeing it means nothing to the advertiser. It is when it is clicked it becomes useful.
However, the greater the number of impressions, the more likely someone is going to click
2. Closeups After someone clicks your Pin, the Pin is then brought up close. This is a closeup. When brought up close, the person who clicked can read the description in the Pin and if he likes what he read, he can then click further and is then taken to your site. The purpose of the closeup is for the clicker to decide from what he read from your Pin description whether to visit your site or not.
3. Link Click When someone clicks to visit your website after a closeup.
4. Saves A save is what was previously called a repin. In Pinterest, you store your Pins and Pins of others on boards you have created. Let us say you have a Pin on "How to lose 20kg of fat in 10 weeks", you'll save it in a board you created named "How To Lose Weight".
Now, while browsing Pinterest, you may find some Pins you like relating to weight loss. You may now save those Pins on your "How To Lose Weight"board.
Saves are very important as they are an important source of traffic. How do they drive traffic?
Now, imagine people visit your boards. Let us say 10 people visit your "How To Lose Weight" board, they may like some Pins you saved on your boards and either visit the websites or save them on their own boards. The Pins could be your Pins or those of others.
In the past 10 days ago, I started with Pinterest, I have sent 10 visitors to about 8 Pins that were not mine. They were Pins visitors discovered on my various boards. Now, imagine a Pin that has been saved over 10,000 times on different boards? Can you imagine the amount of traffic, the Pin will get.
Everyone's prayer on Pinterest is that their Pin goes viral. Once it goes viral, expect a deluge of traffic to your website.
4. Engagements Closeups, Link clicks and Saves all come under engagements. That simply means all those that engaged in your site in one way or the other. And the only way is either through closeups, link clicks and saves.
Now, how do we tie everything together?
Your primary purpose of joining Pinterest is to get traffic to either your blog, website or affiliate link (Pinterest allows direct linking but hate Spam).
How do you get traffic?
I have learned the hard way that traffic is built with momentum. Expecting such traffic overnight shouldn't be your goal. On Pinterest, traffic has a snowball effect. It starts small but begins to grow and grow until it becomes sizable. Unlike a snowball, you have to create the momentum yourself by adding new Pins and sharing Pins regularly. And pray that one or more of your Pins goes viral.
The momentum grows this way. Each Pin gets daily impressions. As you bring in a new Pin, that one too brings in daily impressions. The more Pins you have the greater the number of impressions.
The more impressions you have, the more likely there is to be engagements. If the engagement is a save or repin, that will create another set of impressions. The more people save your pins, the more the impressions and the likelihood of a click.
You should also focus on improving your link click rate. How will my Pin have 420, actually 419 impressions and only 1 click. Or 17 closeups and no clicks. At least, 5 clicks to 17 closeups won't be bad.
I see Pins having like 90 impressions and 1 link click. My goal is to have an average of 1 click for between 100 - 200 impressions. I have studied how to improve link clicks.
It is necessary you keep creating Pins. If you don't have any Pins, no one will visit your website. The more Pins you have out there on Pinterest, the more impressions and the more likely it is to be saved and even go viral. Submit as many Pins as you can. My plan is to submit 10 Pins every day for the next 20 days. That should give me over 200 Pins.
Pinterest is a search engine. The word optimization and search engine can not be divorced.
Your boards and Pins have to be optimized for searches. You have to include the right keywords when creating them. For your Pins, include hashtags in the description to make it easy for people to find them.
Even when creating your profile, it is necessary you include the right keywords as well. There are tutorials on this on Youtube
Thanks for breaking it down here, I have a Pinterest account, is this different from Pinterest business account.
What I mean is are they different apps, or can I switch (like instagram)
grandstar: I have decided to start this thread in order to open the eyes of Nigerians, especially internet marketers about the huge opportunities that can be tapped on Pinterest.
It is a shame that most Nigerian affiliate marketers aren't making substantial incomes online and many get rained abuses here that they are just glorified teaches who are after your 2,000 per ebook they want to sell to you.
I see no reason why affiliate marketers here in Nigeria can't earn $5,000 and above monthly online. Many are timid and limit themselves mainly to the Nigerian market which is regarded as a 3rd tier market online. The 1st tier markets are primarily the rich English speaking countries which are USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. If you're selling to the English speaking market, they are most likely to buy.
Tier 3 countries consist of poor countries like India, Bangladesh, Malawi, Lesotho and so forth that are least likely to buy. Nigerians can't even buy things on Clickbank! This mentality has to change. You're selling to people who have no money!
One way fo bringing about that change is to introduce to us the Pin sharing site Pinterest. Why Pinterest?
Pinterest is the biggest Picture content sharing site in the world and it has 335m monthly users as at March 2020 and growing. It is a traffic generating monster. The majority of its users are from tier 1 countries and 8 out of 10 American mothers is a Pinner. Over 70% of its users are women.
The majority of American Pinterest users earn on average $75,000 a year. That means they most likely have disposable income. Traffic here is known to convert quite well. They are also twice as likely to have a university education. Also, a whopping 48% of Pinterest users are keen on shopping compared to just 14% on Facebook
Now, how do I make money from Pinterest? First, how does Pinterest work?
Pinterest works by you creating clickable Pins which is linked to your content. These links are usually pictures with infographics written on it. I have attached an example below. The Article writing pin can be linked to www.makehotmoney.com/article-writing-tips (I made it up).
If people see your pin and they click it, it takes them to your content. Your content can be anything. It can be an article, a video , amazon kindle book, a Youtube link, etc. It can be virtually anything. Pinterest allows direct linking so affiliate links are allowed.
Where then do you store these Pins? You store them on boards.
Let us say you are in the weight loss niche. You can create a board titled "weight loss", another "lose weight quick", another "lose belly fat", another "weight loss supplements" and so on. Any Pin you create, you store the Pin in the board you think is the most appropriate. When visitors come to your boards, they will see your pins and click.
How can Pinterest make me money? Let us say you now decide to create your own Pinterest account on weight loss. You decide to create 5 boards. Let us say even 1 board to start with. You're bound to have a problem. The problem is that your board will be empty for a while as it will take you time to create Pins. Visitors are put off by an empty board. What can you do?
You find other people's Pins and repin them on your board. By the time you repin 20 pins, your board will have a lot of content. When visitors come to your board, they see those pins and click thereby sending them traffic. You can now start building your pins.
As you start creating your pins too, they too will be repinned to other boards as well. It is this repinning that fuels traffic. There's a pin I have seen repinned 7,000 times. There's a Pin that has been repinned 105,000 times! Just imagine the volume of traffic that Pin will generate, In order to have your Pins shared, you have to share the Pins of others.
Through Pinterest, you can have 100s of thousands of monthly visitors to your website or blog in as little as 6 months. It is a traffic generating monster and because a good number of users are in a shopping mood, conversions are high. Also, while a Facebook content is most likely to generate you traffic around when you post it, you can still get lots of traffic from old Pins on Pinterest, some even 5 years old. All it needs is for someone to repin it and the traffic wakes up again.
How can I get started? First and foremost, I am no Pinterest guru. I have however read a lot and I am ready to share a lot of that knowledge here. I would advise you to follow up by watching Youtube Pinterest tutorials. You'll gain far more.
How then can you start? You start by registering with "Pinterest for Business" You need a Pinterest business account. Please note that each Pinterest account is best solely dedicated to a niche. You can't have an account doing both affiliate marketing and weight loss. It has to be committed to a niche.
How much do I need to get started? You don't need a dime to get started but money usually helps. For instance, you may need a website. A .com or paid extension like .net or .info gives you respectability but if you have no money, you can go for a free blog or website like Blogger or Weebly. If you want to be in the make money or affiliate marketing niche, you can't afford to have a free website. Your visitors will feel if you can't afford $10 for a proper domain, that means you aren't making money and therefore not fit to teach how to make money. A free blog or website will do with most niches.
Also, note that Youtube videos are also content. Many things classify as content and not just blog or website articles.
I don't have any content whatsoever? No need to kill yourself here. You can go to article directories such as ezinesarticles or articlebase to get free content. Just make sure you do not alter the signature of the author of those articles and place yours there instead. That is plagiarism. You're supposed to use those articles as they are. They are simply to be used as content for your sites. You can promote your offers just below the article or anywhere else on your sites such as a banner ad.
You can also search for "free PLR articles" on your niche. There are tons of free PLR articles online. Many are of very poor quality so be prepared to do a lot of editing. It is best you rewrite it to pass Copyscape so it will be considered as original content by Google. This will compel Google to rank the article as well. However, traffic from Pinterest should be enough but a double blessing by having Google by your side is great.
How do I design Pins like the one below? If you're good at Photoshop or any other design software, you're really fortunate.
If however, you're not, then use www.canva.com. To know how to use canva, watch videos on how to make money on Pinterest on Youtube.
How to watch Youtube videos without burning my data. Best you download YouTube Go on your phone. The app gives you the choice of choosing the quality of the video you choose to watch which greatly slashes the MB consumed.
For instance, there's a 28 minute video I just saw. There are 3 video qualities: 1. Data saver 22MB
2. Standard Quality: 59.8MB
3. High Quality: 77MB
Which one do you think I'll go for? Yes, the data saver and the quality is good. I barely notice any difference. You can also download the video into your phone, though not the memory card. You can then be watching the video as many times for free afterwards. I also use that option at times.
How can I buy the most MB at the cheapest price When buying data plans on MTN and Airtel for example, go for the daily plans. In the daily plans for MTN and AIRTEL, you have the option of paying N300 for 1GB but must be used up within 24 hours. If however, you don't use it up within 24 hours, it is rolled over and that means you must top up to activate the rollover. Simply top up 25MB for N50 and the rollover is activated. 1GB can watch about 18 hours of content on Youtube Go. That 1GB should be able to last you for days if you're prudent.
I want to start a new Pinterest journey today and I'll keep you updated. I want others to join so we can all be learning and encouraging each other. I will be creating 5 Pins each day and repinning about 50 per day. This may be overkill but what the heck?
I already have content lined up but I will have to start adding more to my blog very soon. or else I would be out of personal content to pin on my boards. I also plan to follow 300 people daily so they can follow me back. At least half should follow back. Within 30days, I should have about 4,500 followers and in 6 months, about 50,000 as I believe many new followers naturally.
This thread is not limited to affiliate marketers alone. If you're selling anything online, you're free to join.
Ade munched on his chinchin with reckless abandon as he sipped on his chilled tigernut drink. "I thought you just finished your meal less than 20 minutes ago? "his friend Bassey inquired. The past few weeks his son had spent with him, he noticed Ade's nonchalant attitude with money. "Chill bro, Ade chuckled "money is meant to be spent"
Bassey laughed and took his seat. "I have your time, tell me about money".
Ade shrugged, "Money is a media for exchange of products and services. Basically, money is meant to be spent. If you don't spend it, you won't have it". ...but you're spending yours the wrong way, Bassey chipped in. "What do you think will happen in the future - when you get old?" "Pension of course" Ade replied
"Just pension? You're still complaining of not having enough monthly and you intend relying solely on pension? That's suicidal you know".
You know , aside money being a means of exchange. It's also a seed that ought to be planted... To produce a money tree, (for our unending needs). As a seed, we won't be agile (in active working spirit) all our life span. Hence, the need to sow money into the future so when we get there we have to do little or nothing. When planted early, it gives us ample time to nurture it's growth.
So if you're spending money for the sake of spending without an accurate plan you need to recheck. You can't afford to be an impulse buyer at this stage.
I'll love to hear from you, What do you think about money?

I met him while I was serving, he was nice and the only friend I had, I served in a village.

We talked today and he’s telling me he spent all he’s money for he’s birthday, that if money comes he will send but right now he has no money, placing me on the probability table, so I said u couldn’t keep the one u would send me, he said people were buying drinks and buying drinks and he couldn’t tell them to stop. Am like are u serious ? I had to remind him that my birthday is few days away and he started saying he won’t be able to send anything. I told him without him doing the needful that there is no us.
Am tired, he has no vision, No focus , no aim , he depends on his friends and it's annoying. I think about he’s future more than he does , he’s always in the present. He’s making me feel like a bad person that he would make it. I hope he makes it but the relationship is so draining and I am 100% faithful to someone with no sense of reasoning. He’s Saying I am dating someone that’s why I want to leave him. He isn’t even addressing the issue we hv on ground .

If you've been following recent trends, by now network marketing shouldn't be a total strange word. Here are some basic myths surrounding it:
1) You earn six-figures immediately Anybody that tells you that immediately you join a system you start earning massively. Just run! Well except you're ready to put in rugged work. Network marketing is a process. Your earnings is solely dependent on your effort.
2) Network marketing is a get rich quick scheme. Inasmuch as it had the capabilities of ensuring financial freedom, it's still not a get rich quick scheme. Matter of fact, you might have to put in monetary effort (for a start), attend trainings etc. 3) Only the first to join makes money. Network marketing gives room for overtaking. So it's never about who started first. It's all in your efforts. If you start now and put in much work then the person that started some years ago, your income will definitely be higher.

Nene sat at her balcony and admired her neighbors husband as he blended what seems like pepper in preparation to cook.
She had always wished David her husband would always assist in chores. 'Is this not a man doing domestic chore?' She said in admiration.
'Honey, I'm so tired can you help me out', Nene said to her husband upon her return from the market. You should get some rest dear' David smiled.
'No, there's a whole lot to be done and we'll be having some guest in the evening'
'You worry too much Nene, get some rest and continue later'.
'Our neighbors husband helps out, matter of fact he does all the chores but you won't even budge' she blurted out.
'What's this about?' David asked as he stared at her.
'You're not helping domestically like other husbands' she replied defiantly David shook his head in awe, ''I'm not other husbands, and I've suggested time without number you get a house keeper for the house but you refused'.
But nobody gets a house keeper anymore. None of my friends have, our neighbors doesn't and even your friend Tony doesn't. They all help out in the house.
David picked up his laptop and left the room, 'I'll leave you to your madness'.

If it's heavy, tap on restrict background data. That way it only uses data when in use.
P.S You can choose to restrict all apps, that way it's only the current app that you opened that run with data. It's only disadvantage is you can't work effectively on two apps at a time
