Hello, boss I have been hearing about pintePint but has just take it seriously last month.

Though I am still finding my way around it, I don't know how to create pins, or board. I already have content I want to promote. I sell ebook and journal and Amazon and I would like to pull traffic from Pinterest to my book.
Your guide will be accepted.
Boss ottalo you too can give me hint

grandstar:
How do you find viral pin? Pinterest no longer shows the number of repins.

grandstar:
Great news!
My impressions grew from 5 in the past 30 days to 99 impressions and 4 link clicks within 24 hours after I started taking Pinterest seriously by creating boards, filling them with Pins, creating 7 of my own Pins and adding them. I also followed people. If I continue this way, I'm sure of like 40 link clicks from the Pins on my boards by Monday next week and perhaps a 100 the upper week.

The clicks, however, were not on the Pins I created but on the Pins of others that I repinned to my boards. I'm waiting for my Pins to not only be clicked but also repinned by others to their boards. This, however, are the early days.

I will appreciate comments from Ottalo

Went through your fiverr gig.

You have a good rating. I think you should promote yourself more.

grandstar:
Very interesting. It's a pleasure meeting you.

What's your fiverr handle? I love Fiverr. I've actually paid someone on Fiverr to assist me . That's why it's essential to market yourself.

I have a lot to learn. A lot to learn from you. My biggest challenge is creating pins. Designing the pin, inputting the right keywords and so on. I'll visit your Pinterest page and look at your pins.

Clickbank doesn't accept Nigerians. I believe there should be other tops one's that would accept Nigerians.

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

Look at the comprehensive stats here: https://blog.hootsuite.com/pinterest-statistics-for-business/

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.

Below is the video that inspired me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akpnh8ZqhIA. Please watch the video to get a better understanding

Do note that Pinterest no longer shows how many times a Pin that isn't yours has been repinned. This video was made before that feature was scrapped.

If you want me to update this thread informative and useful, please leave your comments below.
