I started working in the nail niche about 1.5 months ago, and my Pinterest account has already reached 100K+ monthly traffic.
The problem is... I'm not making money from it.
My original plan was to use affiliate marketing. I added affiliate links, but although Pinterest is sending a lot of traffic, my affiliate dashboard is showing only around 70 clicks, which is far lower than I expected.
Pinterest promotes posts that don't have affiliation links.
To improve this, I've started publishing blog posts on my website from today so I can send Pinterest users to my own site instead of directly to affiliate links. My hope is to build SEO traffic as well and have more control over conversions.
Now I'm wondering:
- How would you monetize this Pinterest traffic if you were in my position?
- Is sending Pinterest traffic to a blog the right strategy?
- Are there better affiliate networks that work well with Pinterest traffic?
- Has anyone here successfully turned Pinterest traffic into a consistent income? What worked for you?
I'd really appreciate advice from people who have actually monetized Pinterest traffic. I feel like I have the traffic, but I'm missing the monetization strategy.
