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: ***************
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:
So I want to use this method to drive traffic to my blog. Everybody understands it but I don't. Sorry if it's a dumb question:
At step 4, you have to upload your images to your blog.(Do you really put the images on the blog itself?)
At step 5 he sais" Go trough your blog and pin the images that you just uploaded to your blog" Do i have to actually PIN the images on pinterested? If yes, that would be stupid because there would be the same images on pinterested?
Thanks.
