Although Pinterest may not be the largest social network, it certainly seems to have the strongest influence on its users. What's more, Pinterest is full of active online shoppers with a lot of disposable income. This translates to an opportunity for just about anyone and everyone to use Pinterest to earn some easy cash. Now that you understand the opportunity that Pinterest presents, let's talk about some things that people are already successfully doing to make money through Pinterest. 21 Ways to make money through PinterestThe following activities are things that people are already successfully doing to make money with Pinterest, so these are things that you can do as well. Keep in mind that these certainly are not the only ways to make money on Pinterest, but they are things that anyone can begin doing today for little or no investment. 1. Become a Pinterest influencerIf you've read any of my previous posts than you know that an influencer is a term that marketers use to describe a social media user that has a significantly large following. If you are one of these lucky people, you are considered to be an influencer, and this means that advertisers want to give you money to promote their products and services to your social media following. If you believe that you have a large enough following to be considered an influencer, and you're interested in monetising your influence, one great platform to check out is Loop 88 which works with Pinterest influencers specifically. 2. Become a Pinterest VAPinterest VA is actually a website where you can sign up to become a paid Pinterest Virtual Assistant. This means that various Pinterest users would pay you to perform certain tasks on Pinterest that they need done. To visit Pinterest VA, just visit the URL below. https://pinterestva.com/ 3. Become a Pinterest ConsultantIf you know all their is to know about Pinterest, you can monetize this knowledge as a Pinterest Consultant. Individuals and businesses looking to advertise through Pinterest need someone with your know how and would probably pay you well. 4. Affiliate marketingPinterest is probably one of the best places on the internet to place affiliate links. Whenever you post content to Pinterest, you can have it link to any URL that you want it to, including an affiliate link. If you can create an attractive, attention grabbing pin that connects to an affiliate URL for a relevant offer, this could be easy money in the bank! 5. Monetize your creativityIf you are in the business of creating and selling hand crafted goods, or perhaps you are a painter, an illustrator, an animator or any other sort of creative, then what a better place to showcase and sell your work than Pinterest? 6. Drive trafficThere is no shortage of websites out there that are in constant need of traffic. In fact, when you own a website, driving traffic to it is usually the name of the game! So, if you have a knack for creating pins that people want to click on, you can use this talent to drive valuable traffic to people's websites for them, and you can charge quite a bit of money for such a service. 7. Sell your own productsIf you have products that you sell online and you are not showing them off on Pinterest, then shame on you! Showcase your products on Pinterest with pins linking to a landing page where visitors can purchase your products. 8. Promote your servicesPinterest is perfect for promoting any services for which you can show visual results for. Some examples would be landscaping, interior decorating, gardening, hair styling, etc. 9. Teach Pinterest design & marketing strategiesOnline courses are very popular nowadays, and people are making a full-time living simply from selling courses on whatever it is that they are knowledgeable about. If you know a thing or two about Pinterest marketing or design, you can create and sell an online course for it. 10. Promote sponsored contentThis activity falls into the same ballpark as becoming a Pinterest influencer. If you have a large enough following, advertisers will pay you quite handsomely for posting sponsored pins for them. 11. Photo editing servicesThis is an ideal service to promote on Pinterest. If you are a professional photo editor, you can publish pins showing before and after photos to show off your skills, and have those pins link to a landing page where people can order your services. 12. Lead generationPinterest can be used as a tool to generate leads. You can then turn around and sell said leads and, depending on the industry, one qualified lead can be sold for quite a bit of money. 13. Graphic DesignHere is another service that is ideal for promoting on Pinterest. Each time you design a graphic, you create a pin showcasing your skills, and have that pin connect to a landing page where people can order your service. 14. Sell recipesBeing that Pinterest is an image based social network, it can be a great medium to sell things like recipes. You would just take awesome looking photos of your recipes that look delicious and appeal to people's hunger, use them to create a pin, and have that pin connect to a landing page where you can offer the recipe for sale. Being that Pinterest's user base consists of mostly women, your bound to make some sales quite easily. 15. Sell stock photosIf you have a talent for capturing amazing photos that look like they should be on a postcard, why not sell your photos? You can showcase them through Pinterest on pins that link to a purchase page. Before you go publishing your original photos on Pinterest, you'll want to make sure to put some kind of watermark on them so that people can't steal your work. 16. Photography as a serviceLike the previous activity, this is another activity for photographers, but instead of selling your photos, you offer photography as a service which is, of course, another ideal service to promote though Pinterest. 17. Become a Pinterest managerThis is a service that most small business owners need, especially those who run their businesses online. Business owners are very busy people, yet having an active Pinterest profile for their business is something that they are better off not doing without. So this is where you come in, as their reliable Pinterest account manager, which frees up time for them to focus on other aspects of their business. 18. Sell access to your boardWhen you create a board on Pinterest you have the option of restricting access to your board to only those that know the correct password. You can use this feature to create boards with premium content that people have to pay for access to. 19. Pin design serviceThere are a lot of people who are not so much the creative type that constantly need content for their Pinterest profiles. If you are the creative type, you can offer pin design services to these people. 20. Sell Pinterest templatesHere is a digital product that could really only be successfully sold on Pinterest. 21.
