Is selling grown accounts on pinterest profitable? how much time it takes approximately to grow a account to 10K followers? (rough estimate)
Thank you

 

[William702]

Im looking to promote my t-shirts. Is Pinterest a good place for that?

What approach would you use?

Btw your help is much appreciated

Yes Pinterest is a good place for fashion. The best approach would be to mass pin it across relevant group boards. There are tons of shopping and gift boards, not to mention fashion boards, so I would start there.

I use a few scheduling tools and that's about it. I get the most use out of Tailwind at the moment but there are lots of pinterest bots out there.

I have not done it myself as I can make far more with the account than selling it. As I have mentioned in other posts in this thread I dont worry about followers as they mean jack shit! Also Pinterest is probably the hardest platform to get followers on so the time to gain ratio is terrible. You are better off concentrating on sharing pins as that is what the site is all about.

I have a question.
I am looking to make a website copying content ( images and text) from other sites.
Adsense is not an option , i will get get ban sooner or later due to copyright content so any other way to monetize content which maximize the profit?
I am not experienced with ecommerce(amazon) and cpa offers so dont suggest me about this. I am looking for a way to put up ads of advertising network. I have also put up some popup ads of popads.net but they shave a lot of traffic on google analytics i saw 100 pageviews but on popads only 10

Edit.
also tell me which content/niche is very easy to get lots of traffic in pinterest

You can use infolinks, propeller ads, chitika, sulvo e.t.c. There are many alternatives to Google adsense. Just Google it.
What works most on pinterest as far as I know is -cooking, recipes, moms, mommybloggers.

Question about the new option i group boards - add section. If i add new section to any group board, whats going on with the followers of that new created section? What about the follower's reach?

I read in a $99 Pinterest ebook that it is not good to pin the same image immediately across multiple boards. The ebook said it's best to give time between the pins in order to avoid your activity looking spammy to Pinterest. I don't know much about this but that's what I can tell you.

Well you're starting off the wrong way right away with just copying content from other sites. You need to create quality content. If all you are doing is ripping off other peoples shit then you are limiting yourself and creating a situation where you are asking to be reported. There is of course a right way and a wrong way of going about it. I can only hope you pick the right way. There are sites like repinned.net and postris that you can get a good idea of what is popular. I just came across repinned while searching for an alternative to repinly.

Yeah, they are all great niches, the sites you mention and the sites I mention above are all great places to find out what is popular on Pinterest

I'll be honest I'm not too sure yet and I have been researching the same sort of info. When I have a more definitive answer I will post here.

Well you can easily post 100 pins but dont do it all at once. when I use something like Tailwind I have 90 time slots set up for each day, all random. To add more recommended ones to the list just press refresh as it will give more ones you can just click on rather than typing out random times for 90 posts over 7 days. I have it set up for 90 posts a day per account. I have them set up as members of relevant group boards. I try and group them together by activity so that the frequency is right on all of them. There is no point in having a board with just a few hundreds collaborators that gets a pin or two every day lumped in with a board with thousands of pinners that gets that many pins every few minutes. Try and group them together so that you dont overload a board and have pins going out in a natural way so that you always have something close to the top at any given moment across tons of boards.

I set it up so that I have the pins going out to the selected boards and then shuffle it so that its not the same pin nor the same board that it is posting to. It could be a few hours or it could be a day or two before it posts to that board again and when it does its likely it's going to be a different pin especially if I have set up 20 different pins. Lets say I have 20 pins going out to 70 boards, that's 1400 pins set up at 90 a day so that's 15 days worth. That's half a month worth of pins set up in a few minutes.

When I set up a pin for a product someone is selling on their site or on Amazon I go to the site. I use the tailwind extension to just hover over the image so that it drags it to the program. I then write out the description and add a 2 - 3 hashtags. I make sure the price is in there and press save for later. I go to the next product and do the same. I do this for all 20 products and then I bring them up in the publisher on Tailwind. I go to my email and write an email to myself. In that email I include the direct link to the product so that I can just go to it again and press the extension button to pull it across to Tailwind. Below that I copy and paste the description so that I can just copy it in there real quick if I set it up again. First round takes about 30 minutes to do and then it takes 3 - 5 minutes to do each time after that, so for setting up 15 days worth of pins at a time you can't beat doing it in 5 minutes.

If a client then wants to order a long term subscription package I have something that I can go to and re-fill the pin schedule with in a few minutes. I just love how easy it is once its set up, I even have lists made of the group boards to keep them in niche categories and also by size and activity. It does all the work for me so that when I get a client I can easily set them up. Again I was an affiliate with Tailwind and because I no longer have a conflict with promoting a similar tool I will probably start promoting it again so just to give full disclosure. Of course I am not going to post any aff links here so if you signup or not I'm not going to get anything from it. I just think it's really awesome for doing this specific thing with so that's why I recommend that tool specifically. I'm sure there are other tools out there. I just prefer to use this one.

Hope that the detailed explanation of how i personally set it up helps. I would advise playing around with it though as I'm sure it has a bunch of features I have not even used yet.

It's hard to say if it will be better than Facebook. If you use Facebook groups correctly you can get astronomical results from it. If you have the right products then it could do well. Pinterest is all about the picture, if it has a good setting and is a great photo it will probably do well and thus generate a better result.

I read in a $99 Pinterest ebook that it is not good to pin the same image immediately across multiple boards. The ebook said it's best to give time between the pins in order to avoid your activity looking spammy to Pinterest. I don't know much about this but that's what I can tell you.

Yeah its a surefire way to get your account suspended and anything you try and do from that machine or location could be compromised. So I would not advise posting the same thing over and over again especially close together. I like to add in a bunch of normal popular pins so that I look like the masses and because they are popular they get repined much more and help to drive people back to my profile.

When repining other people's pin is it OK to always change the source to my website and also put my website in the description? As I want traffic for my blog. Also can tailwind fix my website in source and description always when repining? How much does tailwind cost? As an affiliate why not advice them to open a BST here. Thanks

Nope nope and nope. If you do that you have a much higher chance of getting suspended. Also when someone clicks on the pin it will say that the link has been changed and will warn anyone visiting it which will put them right off. If you are just hijacking pins and putting your info on them it will cause you problems. Can you do it, yes but would I do it....no. Re-pinning is exactly what it says it is, you are re-pinning something that has already been pinned. Changing the info is bad etiquette too so you could piss someone off to the point where it causes you even more problems. I think it's $15 for a month. I'm not too sure though as I dont pay for my accounts but when I got them set up I think it was $15 a month. Due to the fact I was promoting it I was given a bunch of accounts for free. If they want to start a BST here I'm sure they will.

Hi. Recently, I noticed new accounts I created initially start getting traffic for a week or so but then traffic stops. I must add that these accounts are active but are now just dormant. My question is how do you create fresh accounts and stay under the radar before one starts pinning etc?

 

[Brian T. Brown]

Thanks William for your help. I am interested to know what affiliate offers you can promote via Pinterest.

I read that after account creation, pinning should not be done for 15days to allow the account age.
