But what if there\u2019s a way for small businesses to find new customers and grow their income too? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selling products, advertising your business, or partnering with other brands \u2013 when it comes to how to make money on Pinterest, there\u2019s so many things you can try. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bloggers and influencers as well online shops and even high street businesses like beauty salons are just some of the businesses and <a href=\"https:\/\/view.simplybusiness.co.uk\/how-to-start-a-side-hustle\/p\/1\">side hustlers<\/a> that might find Pinterest a lucrative tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide cover everything you need to know to get started: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"#what-is-pinterest\">what Pinterest is and its benefits for businesses<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"#how-to-make-money-from-pinterest\">5 ways to make money from Pinterest <\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"#make-money-quick-start-guide\">tips to get started<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"#how-to-use-paid-advertising\">how to advertise your business <\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"#pinterest-trends\">what&#8217;s trending<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"#how-to-get-followers-on-pinterest\">how to get followers<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" id=\"what-is-pinterest\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-pinterest-and-should-your-business-start-using-it\">What is Pinterest \u2013 and should your business start using it? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pinterest is a social media platform that lets users find images and create vision boards on pretty much any topic.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded in 2008, the platform has been around almost as long as Facebook (now Meta) but stands out in the way it values inclusion and belonging, always \u201cputting pinners first\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users (known as \u2018Pinners\u2019) can browse images when researching ideas for weddings, home improvements, and new hairstyles. That\u2019s why many people are now referring to Pinterest as a search engine rather than a social media site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But how does Pinterest work and why should businesses get involved? Well, people use Pinterest to research projects and often discover new businesses at the same time. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/business.pinterest.com\/en-gb\/audience\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">research<\/a> shows almost half (46 per cent) of weekly Pinners have discovered a new brand or product on Pinterest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, people searching for the <a data-type=\"knowledge\" data-id=\"876\" href=\"\/knowledge\/starting-out\/how-to-start-a-business\/\">best wedding<\/a> flowers, cakes, or dresses are looking for inspiration \u2013 but they\u2019re likely to be in the market for wedding services too. Freelance <a href=\"\/business-insurance\/photographers-insurance\/\">photographers<\/a>, <a href=\"\/business-insurance\/florist-insurance\/\">florists<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplybusiness.co.uk\/business-insurance\/home-baking-insurance\/\">bakeries<\/a> could use this to target potential customers with paid ads that Pinners see when creating their mood boards. We\u2019ll explain more about how to use Pinterest for business and set up adverts below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" id=\"how-to-make-money-from-pinterest\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-money-from-pinterest\">How to make money from Pinterest <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a few ways you can earn money on Pinterest depending on your trade and type of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Drive links to your website<\/strong> \u2013 boost sales by pinning images on Pinterest that include a link right back to your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Connect your online shop<\/strong> \u2013 if you already have a <a href=\"\/knowledge\/starting-out\/how-to-create-a-business-website\/\" data-type=\"knowledge\" data-id=\"1424\">business website<\/a> and sell products online then you can create posts with shoppable links. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Affiliate marketing <\/strong>\u2013 make money by creating content and sharing links to promote specific products and services for a range of companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Partner with other brands <\/strong>\u2013 influencers can earn money promoting brands, or smaller shops can work together to cross-promote each other on the platform.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Advertise your business<\/strong> \u2013 set up paid ads to appear when users search for specific images that relate to your product or service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond making money, you could also use Pinterest to support your business planning, goal setting, and product research. Even just browsing Pinterest can help you keep up with current trends in your industry \u2013 and you can use this insight to market more effectively to your customers. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"815\" height=\"543\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybusiness.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/selling-products-on-pinterest.jpg?w=815\" alt=\"Woman taking a photo of a small plant in a pot for sale\" class=\"wp-image-2598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybusiness.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/selling-products-on-pinterest.jpg 815w, https:\/\/www.simplybusiness.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/selling-products-on-pinterest.jpg?resize=800,533 800w, https:\/\/www.simplybusiness.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/selling-products-on-pinterest.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/www.simplybusiness.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/selling-products-on-pinterest.jpg?resize=150,100 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 815px) 100vw, 815px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"nba-body-001\">\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\"><em>Photograph: anon\/stock.adobe.com<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" id=\"make-money-quick-start-guide\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-use-pinterest-to-make-money-a-quick-start-guide\">How to use Pinterest to make money \u2013 a quick-start guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you get started, make sure you have a solid strategy and know who you\u2019re trying to reach and where they are on Pinterest \u2013 bear in mind <a href=\"https:\/\/business.pinterest.com\/en-gb\/audience\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">60 per cent of Pinterest users are women<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow this step-by-step guide to making money on Pinterest:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Create a Pinterest account<\/strong> \u2013 setting up a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.co.uk\/business\/create\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">business account<\/a> gives you access to analytics for your Pins and the tools you need to run paid ads on Pinterest. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Start creating your visuals<\/strong> \u2013 whether that\u2019s eye-catching <a href=\"\/knowledge\/marketing\/product-photography-for-small-businesses\/\" data-type=\"knowledge\" data-id=\"1497\">product photography<\/a> or telling a story with graphics, getting your Pinterest images right is essential. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Spot trends<\/strong> \u2013 see <a href=\"https:\/\/trends.pinterest.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">what\u2019s popular on Pinterest<\/a> and get insight into what people in your target market are searching for. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Grow your followers<\/strong> \u2013 encourage people to save your pins with your enticing caption content, use a range of formats (video and image), and add relevant text on to your visuals to help more people find your pins. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Post regularly<\/strong> \u2013 it\u2019s a good idea to have a weekly plan of content you want to share on Pinterest to keep your audience engaged.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pinterest has a whole guide for <a href=\"https:\/\/help.pinterest.com\/en-gb\/business\/topics\/create-a-shop\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">how to set up a shop on the platform<\/a> as well as expert <a href=\"https:\/\/creators.pinterest.com\/en-gb\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">tips for creators<\/a> if you want to know more about how to make the most of your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-getting-paid-on-pinterest\">Getting paid on Pinterest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Influencers and creators working with <a href=\"\/knowledge\/marketing\/how-to-start-affiliate-marketing\/\" data-type=\"knowledge\" data-id=\"1451\">affiliate links<\/a> or brand partnerships need to organise payment directly with the companies and partners they\u2019re working with.
