Easily Make Money On Pinterest
If you’re like anyone (and everyone!) you enjoy spending time on Pinterest. I think my favorite items on Pinterest lately are the e-cards. One of the best ones says, “Honey, would you please bring home pizza? I’ve been too busy pinning nutritious recipes on Pinterest to cook!”
But do you know how to make money with Pinterest without trying to sell a thing? It’s not too good to be true – let me explain.
Pinterest has SEO (search engine optimization) value. Once I realized this, I tested it by putting up a strategic pin related to one of my posts – and voila! That pin was shared many, many times.
The result of all that sharing? Bingo, the article it was attached to went straight to the top of Google. And the top of Google organic search is where the money is, in case you’ve been trying to find a way to make money online.
I found out that little tidbit 9 years ago this month, when I started my first company. If you want to make money online, you want to win the “search game” with the right product and the right keyword.
How To Make Money On Pinterest :
· Use Your Key Phrases or Words In Your Pinterest Profile
Write your profile carefully – make sure it includes the best key phrases or keywords related to your niche.
· Connect your Image URL to Your Website
If you’re serious about knowing how to make money on Pinterest, this is a must-do step. Not only does this bring the traffic from those who click, but Google also notices when pins are shared. This creates multiple inbound links to your site, increasing the rank of that article.
· Use Keywords In Your Board Descriptions
Make sure you’ve been complete in your board descriptions. Fill out this field fully, as this helps the users who are interested in your products or services find your boards, leading to increased repinning of your pictures. This is a huge way how to make money on Pinterest!
· Remember – Pinterest is a search engine itself!
FYI in case you forgot, Pinterest really is a search engine too. How to make money on Pinterest is to help people find you . Your Keywords are the GPS for those in search of your products – if you want to make money on Pinterest, make it easy for them to find you!
· Include Your Site Name/URL On The Picture
It’s more of that free advertising that we talked about in the last post. Picmonkey is my favorite, but I had a friend tell me that PhotoPad Image Editor from NCH software is also a great choice. While I haven’t tried it yet, you can be sure I will! I’ve already downloaded it and that Norton antivirus said it was okay and reliable to download, so I can’t wait to give it a try.
