Pinterest is not a good source to get lots of traffic. If you want daily views you have to upload images daily. And if your image is good, high quality, you will get clicks or won't(my experience). Yesterday I uploaded 7 images and I got below 50 views....and 2 likes.(till now 21 hours) and no ads click nothing.. I am using adsense only.

I didn't have much to do today, so I played around with Pinterest for a little bit over an hour. I have a friend of mine who has a completely white hat blog and she gets over 2,000 UVs per day through Pinterest. Those 2,000 UVs make about $20 per day on her blogger.com blog. She knows absolutely nothing about IM, but she has a decent blog and some good products.

So this got me thinking that really anyone could make some money on pinterest and I have written down exactly what I did to make $4.00 on Pinterest today. For "noobs" this is a very easy way to start making your first IM dollars.

What you need

1) Pinterest Account. Don't have one? PM me and I will send you an invite Go Here: http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...7485-get-unlimited-pinterest-invitations.html

2) Adsense Account. Don't have one? Apply for it.
3) Blogger Account. Don't have one? Stop being lazy and click three buttons.

So you've got those three things...what do you do now?

1) Log in to your Pinterest account and go to the popular pins page. This is more or less like your trending page on twitter. On this page you are going to find about 100 pins that are currently popular on Pinterest.

2) Right click and save the images from Pinterest onto your computer. This is easy and I did the 100 test pins in about 3 minutes. Make a folder called Pinterest on your desktop and save the images there to keep yourself organized.

3) Head to blogger.com and create a blog with pinterest in the title. Doesn't really matter. Choose the basic adsense template to go on your blog. I did absolutely nothing to my blog it looks like crap and I put up the basic adsense slots.

4) upload the 100 images that you just downloaded to your blog. This is the most time consuming step. I did them 3 at a time. You may be able to do all 100 at once...i dont know, I didnt try.

5) go through your blog and pin the images that you just uploaded to your blog. write really basic descriptions for the pins, such as "hahah" or "yumm". Really stupid stuff...this isnt hard.

6) Sit back and watch the traffic come in. 10 minutes after completing this, I had delivered 345 UVs to my blog and got an email alert stating:

Gena Abel likes your pin 'so cool'

Christine Murphy likes your pin 'so cool'

Tasha Mac likes your pin 'everyone needs a dog'

Nadia Conte likes your pin 'so cool'

Socorro Haro likes your pin 'so cool'

Jessie Perez repinned your pin 'pretty '

Annie Lachowicz repinned your pin 'so cool'

Morgan McWilliams repinned your pin 'Night out'

Erin Walker repinned your pin 'O my goodness'

Susan Buchanan repinned your pin 'so cool'

Gillie Bjarnason repinned your pin 'everyone needs a bull dog'

Anita Harrison repinned your pin 'so cool'

Ali Borzomati repinned your pin 'so cool'

Kristy Elkins repinned your pin 'so cool'

Cheryl Wiggins repinned your pin 'everyone needs a dog'

Erica Ages repinned your pin ' '

Bonnie Wainwright repinned your pin 'This love bug looks just like my Diva when she sleeps...'

Bethany Newell repinned your pin 'shading'


I had done absolutely nothing and getting traffic. What you are doing is taking someone else's already "viral" pin and making your own so that it can go viral.


Some notes: I did this on a brand new pinterest accounts. I had 0 followers when I started doing this test. I also did this on a brand new blog, so there was no traffic prior. I am 100% positive that this can be scaled up because I know people making decent money from Pinterest.

When someone tells you they can't make money online, show them this thread. I'm pretty sure my dog could do it.

Can you please explaine #3 what do you mean by pinterest in the title ?

otobse!

Then how to post i mean should post one image in one post ? If yes then 100 post means 100 images ?

Yes, you can post one image in one post or so many images in one post(do post 3 images in one post)

4.

Then what to do i mean how to pin them and when i pin it means they will show in my account ?

Go to pinterest, after logging in, scroll down the About button(present on right above corner), you will see Pin it button, follow the instructions and add to your bar. After that, click on one published post and pin it from the bar it will as for a small description()write anything and you are done.

5. There is no issue if the image copied as all are already available on Pinterest

Yes, you can do that.(check the member download section for Pinterest WSO)

6.

After all how to get visitor i mean i just pin them as we do digg and tweet etc .. ?

After Pinning you will automatically get the visitors through the pinterest sites or if you wish you can promote(its optional)..

I get about 300 views each time I put up a pic of one of my own products. I also put a good description under the picture. I also pin pics from other sites such as for recipes, fashion, funny pictures. How many people are following your boards? I have a lively bunch of followers. They interact, comment, and repin. I also do the same for them. Don't black hat Pinterest and it will work for you.

 

[redrubies]

I deleted my account already. I don't want to deal with all the copyright issue going on.

Someone from this thread already lost his adsense account. I think Pinterest will be fine as long as people pin from the site that the pic originated from and the pic is linked to the site. That's no different from Google images. But the op's suggestion to save pics and put them all a blog is an accident waiting to happen.

 

[redrubies]

Well, I spent hours yesterday posting about 1k pins that linked directly to affiliate products then woke up today to see 550 clicks, 150 unique visitors, $0 earnings.
Those women on there are just window shopping.

Are you talking about your pictures? How many repins did you get? How many board followers do you have? Not regular followers, but board followers. Are you saying things like "I love this color." "This dress really slims the hips." I'm getting sales on my products, but I interact. You have to interact. 550 clicks for 1,000 pics is not good. Something is wrong.

 

[socialdm]

As I understand it Tumblr is a blogging service whereas Pinterest is a social bookmarking tool. Pinterest allows users to categorise visual content they find interesting.

This is why it's being used mostly by marketers with products to sell. The experience is driven by visuals. And if the audience is majority female this makes sense. It's hoe my wife shops.

I tend to this this method won't work well for conversions unless someone comes up with a better way or some sort of twist. People can see the images, for the most part, perfectly on pinterest. If they do click through to your site, they're not going to take a survey or click ads because they just came to see the one image and could care less about your website or ads unless it is designed very well and has other interesting articles, images, etc. Who's going to fill out a survey to look at an image, it's not worth it to the viewer. There needs to be something else. IMO, this definitely won't work well with blogger sites that have absolutely no value other than a ton of pinned items unless you do it on a massive, massive scale. You can see the conversion rate people are getting, next to nothing.

That's what I have been trying to say for pages. Pinterest works very well when it's used in the way it's supposed to be used. Otherwise it's just a waste of time.

How do you get them to the offer if you link them back to the original source?

 

[You50.com]

i'm testing it now

 

[redrubies]

How do you get them to the offer if you link them back to the original source?

Is the offer something that would interest women? If so, try a new approach. Make a blog that you will use just for Pinterest, but don't make it have Pinterest in the name because that is too obvious. Put your offer, ads, affiliate banners, or however you make money on that blog. Then use some creativity. Make your blog have a theme. Maybe cooking, fashion, beauty. Below is an example.

You make a food blog. First post: "I made this last night and it was a hit with the family. I substituted apples for pineapples because my kids are not fond of pineapples. I found the recipe here (provide link) and have copied it below. Let me know if you like it." Hardly anyone will click on the link to the other recipe because they will be too busy copying your recipe down.

Now that took five minutes out of your day. It was faster than putting pics on a blog with no content.

In the next post, you can grow what you did. Ten food pictures in one blog post. Title of post: "Get Kids Involved In Meal Planning."
Post: "I went to the food category on Pinterest and asked my kids to pick out foods that they would like for me to make. I think it is very important to get children involved in meal planning. There tends to be less picky eating in my house when my kids are involved. This is what they chose. (insert the ten pictures using the embed feature. These are pictures that you repinned so people are linked right back to your Pinterest and not someone else's) This was a lot of fun. If you try it with your children, please comment and let me know how it went." You don't even have to provide recipes with this post if you don't feel like it.

Now you have ten pictures to pin. Do you see where I'm going with this? Put some content on your blog and allow for interaction. It takes less time and people will take your blog more seriously. They will click ads if you have content. They will not click ads if you irritate them.

Last thing, wouldn't it still violate copyright if you use a picture outside of Pinterest? Regardless of linking it back to the original source?

This was a bed spread that I found on Pinterest. I loved it so much that I bookmarked it. Notice how she talked about it a little. http://bloggingahn.blogspot.com/2011/05/our-new-bed-spread-anthropologie.html Use Pinterest in this manner.

Bloggers do it all the time, even before Pinterest came about. I don't think many will complain. You just gave them google juice by linking to them. Huffington Post does it all the time. They swipe pictures right off the news website. They just give credit.

If you're making a blog for women about woman 'stuff', just to put images on pinterest, you're better off just making a blog about women and doing it well because you're going to spend a good amount of time making it either way. You monetize it, but using pinterest could be just one of the many ways to get visitors and $$.
