I just see that post from a Facebook group. I tought usefull to share here with you.


Shuttestock + Zappier + Pinterest = 150k+ Unique Monthly Visitors to your website.

What to do:
1. Go to Shutterstock and search for something interesting
2. Select contributor with top products and find his id (<meta property="og:image" content="//ak.picdn.net/contributors/67164/avatars/original.jpg" /> - numbers after contributors/
3. Open his RSS from Shutterstock shutterstock.com/feed.mhtml?gallery_id={Contributor_ID}
4. Create new Zap: RSS + Pinterest
5. Insert RSS from Shutterstock
6. Connect Pinterest and select where to pin
7. Inside Image insert "Link Enclosure" and add "https:" before it
8. Inside Note insert "Title"
9. Inside Link insert URL which you want to promote (your website or landing page)
10. Save and ON

What you will get:
Zappier will automatically generate new pins from new photos of the Contributor and insert relevant unique description. You should select something interesting for your TA so after going to your website they will stay.


UPD:
1. Use ?utm_source=pinterest&utm_medium=auto_pin after your url, so you can see statistics in google analytics https://take.ms/zOB0O
2. You can use Instagram as a source of images with service https://queryfeed.net/
3. you can use Flickr RSS as a source of images https://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne… where watercolor - tag for search
4. Added video with my voice comments

Nice, OP,
there are a couple of issues I can see from here. First is that images will be all watermarked. Second is that you can't be sure when Shutterstock contributor will upload next photo. It could be in a few days or weeks, so that's the time you will need to wait for a fresh content. And last but not least, how will Pin come across Smart Feed? It surely needs some artificial distribution.
I have never seen Shutterstock watermarked images on may Smart Feed, so I believe there is a filter Pinterest uses to avoid such images to appear on the people's feeds.
So, 150K visits a month sounds a bit unrealistic. Have you tried this method yourself?
Thanks for posting.

I just install it the exact same way of the tutorial and it work. I do not plan to use Shutterstock, i will use it with https://vurku.com/ from @KraftyKyle
 
Thank you, it's really interesting method (I do Shutterstock affiliate by myself too)...
 
Will the pins come all from the same IP?
I guess ban from Pinterest will come in a few
 
@OP, is the method not working anymore?

Seems like the pinterest account in your video is promoting the pins with shutterstock.com as the URL
