Hello everyone! I created this journey thread in order to keep me accountable on this journey. My plan is growing a blog site and driving traffic through Pinterest and other traffic methods. I currently earn 700 euro per month as an employee in my country which is minimum wage. With 1k I will be comfortable, but with 2k I can also provide for my loved ones.

Background

I am F26, from Ukraine living in Greece. I have been into IM as long as I can remember. I started with sites like Neobux( PTC) , CPA, Fiverr, Instagram, dropshipping, affiliate marketing. I have tried it aaallll, but still nothing stuck. I earned some beer money here and there, but nothing serious. I gave up almost every project that I tried.

I spent hours and hours, lurking on BHW and other forums, reading methods, getting excited but not working on anything. Also living in a big tourist destination country, and seeing all the people having holidays, and you working all year round, it really takes a toll on you.


The idea

As I was scrolling through TikTok, a girl came up that claimed that she made 30k+ from her blog via driving traffic through Pinterest. She wasn't selling any course, or coaching lessons, just growing her brand. (Now she sells a course.) But she had her blog/ Pinterest account public so the numbers she claimed made sense.

I was soooo inspired. That was a lot of money. Even only 2k would be more than enough for me. Then, I thought that English is not my first language. But how hard can it be to write a blog post with the help of tools?

Execution

I started my blog on November and I told myself that I have a year to make any kind of money. I wrote some blog posts, posted some pins but I didn't give it my 100%. So, my traffic is low.

Money spent: 100$ (40$ domain and hosting, 60$ on 2 pinterest courses)
Articles posted: 6
Pins uploaded: 25


My niche is very friendly for Pinterest. Most pins I uploaded months before so it makes sense to see a drop in traffic.

In this journey, I will try to flip a failing blog to generating 2k per month. Let's see!

Next steps:

- I will be focusing now on Pinterest and try to schedule 5 pins per day. I used to do 1 per day. I will test it out to see how much traffic will change.
- I will try to upload more articles on the blog so that I can create more pins.
- I will find keywords from Pinterest Trends, and test seasonal keywords to see if they will perform better.

This time, I have the mindset that "I have to make it work. No matter what."

Updates will be wherever I have something new! Thanks for reading and if you have any helpful information I'd love to chat! :)
 
Good luck on your journey, as long as you don't give up, you will most likely succeed. Is your Pinterens account a personal account or have you created a brand account and is the tactic you are using a white hat?
 
Good luck with this journey do you have any previous experience with Pinterest?
 
Yasas ! We are on the same boat haha ! I live in Athens, too, and I am starting my blog with Pinterest as the traffic source .
Message me if you want to exchange ideas

Thank you!

I created a separate business account and claimed my website. Yeah, the method is whitehat.

Only blackhat thing right now, is the theme of the blog which I found from the Downloads section here as I wanted to save money.

Thank you very much! No I don't, I just test and go. I have bought a course that helped me on how to set up the account, about keywords etc.

Good luck with your journey.

Thank you!!

Try to pin more than 5 pins a day if you want to grow faster. My preferred pin types are text overlays and collages because they get better CTR than pure image pins.

If you have any questions about Pinterest, you can DM me.

I tried to market my amazon kdp content on pinterenst, but I was not very successful, I wonder if there are any tactics you can give me, I would love it if you share it privately or here.

I am scared of shadowban I don't know why haha. Also, creating even 5 images per day is a lot of work!

I have been inspired by your journey too so I am really excited you replied in mine!!

I will for sure send you a pm! Thanks!! :)
 
How is it monetised?
Because at first I guess they don't approve adsense and they take money if your traffic is social.

I don't fully understand your comment. But I am not yet monetized. I am still working on traffic then I will monetise with Affiliate Marketing mostly. I will apply to Adsense, but it is not my goal.
