Is this monetizable?

So far my almost 4.5 month old pinterest brings about 20-40 users a day and the clicks are always from recent pins. I thought it would compound, it doesn't. So when i pin high i get more users like 60-70. And i m tring to pin 5 a day using canva.

Users: US, Canada, Tier 1 EU countries.
Wedding niche. Using ad network is not feasible i guess. Is this monetizable in any way or time to move on?

Just keep it in your back pocket. I use pinterest, for both sharing products and sharing marketing images on. Keep your focus on 80% of your own and new content, and then 20% on your marketing like pinterest and other places i think. Don't expect a flood of people unless your input is going to generate that from a consistant approach of weekly posting for years even more. You have the metric though, what and how many pins would it take to bring 200 visitors a day (you might think 10X but thats wrong) You can use the force multiplier effect to make the type of posts, the frequency, and the design, different so much that you might blast past 10X easily. If you keep doing what you do now, it will probably come easier than you expect after a year or so. Many campaigns in business take months to run sometimes, and there can be many of them per year.

I don't think there is a way to monitise a social account with a method these days, (other than the legal already allowed channels by the platform) as all these companies are heavily spam proof invested and some with AI that is catching loads of people out. Stay safe, keep promoting, just don't stop at pinterest, and don't get satisfied with your CTA's till you find something that does your traffic lifting.

I wouldn’t quit yet. 20-40 users a day isn’t much, but with that kind of traffic I think it’s still worth testing. I’d probably focus on getting the traffic up first and worry about monetizing it after that.

pinterest usually takes time to build momentum wedding content has buyer intent, so affiliate links or vendor referrals could make the traffic worthwhile

You can also send the traffic to a simple email signup and later promote wedding products or services to that audience.

I still wouldn’t move ahead. Wedding marketng tends to attract more buyers than anything else, so I would test affiliates first for wedding dresses, places, invitations, photographers etc.

Might be quite hard to monetize that, but if you have enough time to keep trying to push that then its probably worth waiting a little bit, maybe some CPA offers would work

I'd keep going. 4.5 months is still early for Pinterest, especially in the wedding niche. The fact you're getting 20–40 daily users means it's not dead, but you're relying too much on fresh Pins. The compounding usually comes from evergreen Pins ranking in search, and that can take months.

20–40 visitors a day isn’t huge, but I wouldn’t quit yet. Since the recent pins are already bringing clicks, I’d keep testing that type of content and try a few affiliate offers before deciding.

It's definitely monetizable but it's too early to know, and 40 visitors per day is not amazing but it's a good start

To make money on Pinterest, you need a larger amount of traffic. In general, affiliate marketing tends to be a better fit for this platform.

It seems to be taking forever to even hit 100 users a day

The wedding niche is very popular for Pinterest and you can probably advertise it with affiliate wedding services or products.

@PaulRD wedding traffic from US and CA is actually high value even at 30 visitors a day. instead of trying to sell expensive physical products where conversion is super low, look at wedding registry bounties. amazon pays a flat fee just for someone creating a free registry. if even a couple of your daily visitors sign up, you're making easy money.

also pinterest changed their algo a while back to heavily favor fresh pins over repins, which is why you aren't seeing that old school compounding effect anymore. you kinda have to keep feeding the beast. try using templates to scale up to 10-15 pins a day so you aren't wasting hours on canva.

If your Pinterest content attracts a high amount of traffic, you can still make money through affiliate marketing. You could also use the traffic to promote your own wedding-related brand.

Try affiliate links before ads. Even with 20 to 40 visitors a day, a few targeted clicks can tell you if the niche has potential.

I would not move forward at this point, especially given Tier 1 weddings traffc. It could be made to pay through affiliate marketing or vendor leads.
