How to Make Money with Pinterest Affiliate Marketing in 2026

[00:01] shared on this channel because right now, not only is it suddenly possible to see exactly what people are shopping for on Pinterest, allowing us to place affiliate links for high converting, high commission affiliate products just

[00:15] like this directly in front of those Pinterest shoppers. But we are now suddenly able to get affiliate product photos just like this and transform them into high-converting Pinterest pins just like this to place directly in front of

[00:30] absolutely maximize those affiliate commissions. This video is for anybody who's serious about implementing a highly effective working Pinterest affiliate marketing strategy in 2026. And all I ask of you before I show you

[00:45] exactly how to set this up step by step is that you smash that like button and Justin. Let's get into it. So, here's why Pinterest is the best free traffic source for affiliate marketing with over 600 million monthly active users. 55% of

[01:00] those users say they use Pinterest specifically as a place to shop. And my gosh, do they go shopping. With Pinterest known as the platform of affluent shoppers, over 40% of US households earning over $150,000 per

[01:13] year use Pinterest. And Pinterest shoppers tend to spend twice as much monthly versus other platforms. So, how do we start making money with affiliate marketing by placing links for affiliate products directly in front of those

[01:27] Pinterest shoppers where they are likely to want to make a purchase? Well, you trends and then click onto this icon on the left hand side and then click onto where it says shopping trends to see what people are actually shopping for on

[01:40] the most trending product categories that people are shopping for on Pinterest with coffee and teacups and watering and irrigation products increasing in demand from online shoppers over 80% in the last month. But

[01:52] if I click onto where it says all categories over here, you can see all of for on Pinterest. If I click onto the fragrance category over here for increasing amount of customers for products in the fragrance category over

[02:07] time as depicted by this graph right here. And if I scroll down, we can see the exact demographics of those customers with almost half being in that customers with almost half being in that sort of 18 to 34 age range with over 80%

[02:20] of them being female, which is almost identical to Pinterest's monthly active user base with almost 70% of Pinterest monthly active users being female age between 25 and 34. meaning there is a huge customer base that we can promote

[02:36] affiliate products in the fragrance product category niche to. Now, before I show you exactly how we can do that to absolutely maximize affiliate commissions that we can generate, if I scroll down over here, we can see

[02:48] exactly what those online shoppers are searching for underneath where it says search queries right here. And if I click onto any one of these search queries, such as perfumes for women, which is a query those online shoppers

[03:00] are searching for increasingly over time, we can see how they're actually making those purchases. If I scroll down, we can see that people who do search for perfumes for women are presented with different pins that they

[03:13] popular pins that they will see. If I click onto any one of these pins, we can see the pin that ranks at the top of the search results is this one right here. Five perfumes every elegant woman owns. It is a picture of a very elegantlooking

[03:28] woman holding a bottle of perfume. Now, if I click onto that pin, I'm taken to a piece of affiliate content where the title for that content matches the header on that Pinterest pin. Five fragrances every elegant woman should

[03:40] test once. And as you can see directly above that title, there is an affiliate disclaimer which says, "Affiliate links used. Thanks for supporting my curated fashion finds." Of course, they're implementing an affiliate marketing

[03:53] strategy whereby the online shoppers will of course click onto that pin and have a read through of those five different fragrances. Look, if I click onto any one of these images, let's go with this one over here for Coco Chanel,

[04:06] I'll be taken to the Chanel website to that product page via their affiliate link. And if you look in the URL, you should see something like medium equals affiliate link. And of course, every single time those online shoppers make a

[04:21] Pinterest pin and then the affiliate link contained in their article, that's commission. And that particular Pinterest user is making an absolute killing with only around 2.6,000 followers. They're getting over 7

[04:36] million monthly views and they're promoting all different types of affiliate products using that exact same strategy. I'm talking LED masks, patio furniture, and so on. This is a working strategy that I'm going to show you step

[04:50] by step exactly how to implement right now using an incredible tool where it's now possible to set this up in only a fraction of the time and also to a much higher quality. Now, before I show you exactly how to do that, the first thing

[05:04] that you want to do is to select an affiliate product that we know could actually sell on Pinterest. So, sticking with the fragrance niche, which we know is in high demand, increasing over time with a huge audience segment, what I'm

[05:18] going to do is head over to the Amazon affiliate program by going to Amazon Associates. I'll leave a link in the video description. And I'll also leave a link to other affiliate programs that you can get signed up to right away

[05:31] without requiring a following or any type of approval process. but using the Amazon affiliate program in this example. If I click onto where it says few simple details to create your free Amazon associates account. And once you

[05:44] are an Amazon associate, I can go over to any Amazon product like this the page, you'll see it will say get link. If I click onto that, I can very easily get my affiliate link, which is

[05:56] this right here. And every single time a purchase is made through that affiliate link, I'll get paid a commission. In this example, it is 10% as displayed underneath where it says commission rate. Now, to absolutely maximize the

[06:08] commissions that you can generate with this strategy, the first thing that you want to do is to create a high quality Pinterest pin just like these, which I tool that I use to create all of my Pinterest pins, which is Kitle. And in

[06:23] something a little bit different. I'm going to be creating those Pinterest pins for you. And you can access those pins by clicking onto my link in the video description for Kitle. Once you click onto that link, you will be taken

[06:36] to a page like this. And you can very easily click onto where it says use this design. Enter in a few simple details to create your completely free kit account to access those pins which you can very easily edit according to the affiliate

[06:49] products that you are promoting on Pinterest. Now before you edit those pins, let me first show you step by step exactly how I created those pins using Kle account, what you can do is click

[07:02] onto templates on the left hand side and where it says KF flows, click onto where it says show all to browse a wide range of these different KDF flows templates. And if I click onto any one of these, let's say this template over here. If I

[07:15] go to where it says use template, I'll be taken to this template. Now KDFlows is incredible guys. What it essentially does is it allows you to upload a reference image which can be the affiliate product that you want to

[07:27] generate affiliate sales for. And from that reference image, you can instantly that reference image, you can instantly create using AI a ton of really highquality professionallook product photos to help you maximize the amount

[07:40] generate from which you can create really highquality Pinterest pins. Now, before we get into that, what we first want to do is to replace this reference image with a type of reference image

[07:53] that is in line with the affiliate product that we are promoting. In our example, that is perfume. So, going back over to the KD homepage, if I click onto where it says graphics, I can then select photos and then type in perfume

[08:06] into the search bar and hit enter. And if I hover my mouse over this Chanel example, and then click onto where it says use photo, I can then click onto the template or project that I just created in Kle. It will then insert that

[08:21] photo into my template. And what I want to do is to click onto the default reference image, which is this watch, click delete on my keyboard, and then simply replace it with our new reference image. I'm simply going to resize it

[08:35] just like that. What I can now do to very easily swap out that watch in these highly professional looking product photos with this bottle of perfume is to simply click onto any one of those product photos. And because they say use

[08:48] this reference image, create the following changes with this AI prompt, I it says generate again. And you'll see it swapped out that watch for that perfume bottle. It's an incredible product photo. And before I tell you how

[09:02] we can use these product photos to generate affiliate sales, let me first show you how we can rapidly create a highly engaging, high converting Pinterest pin to start doing exactly the same. So going back over to that

[09:15] Pinterest pin example that we saw earlier, five perfumes that every elegant woman owns, it does include a level of personification which is generally more effective when it comes to driving those affiliate conversions.

[09:27] And what I mean by personification is it isn't just a photo of a bottle of perfume. It is a person using that bottle of perfume. This is a common marketing tactic allowing the customer to envision what it would be like to

[09:40] actually make use of the product that you are promoting, increasing the likelihood of not only clicks that you get onto your Pinterest pin, but also conversions that you can generate via your affiliate link. Now, before we head

[09:52] back over to KD to generate those Pinterest pins, we first want to ask ourselves, what type of perfume are people specifically looking to purchase on Pinterest? And this is where Pinterest search bar autocomplete

[10:04] feature comes in as an invaluable free tool. Now, what you can do is simply go over to the Pinterest search bar and type something in like best perfume for and type in a single letter. Look, I'll type in O. And we can see that people

[10:18] are searching for, for example, best perfume for office. Now, in a similar fashion, I've also found that people are searching for best perfume for daily use, best perfume for date night, best perfume for hot weather, and let's say

[10:32] best perfume for going out, for example. And here is how you capture all of that buyer traffic with a single Pinterest pin to absolutely maximize those affiliate sales. The first thing I'll do is to head back over to KD at the bottom

[10:45] of the page here. I'll simply click onto this icon over where it says artboard and I'll draw a very rough vague sort of square. Now, making sure that I've clicked onto that artboard, what I'll do on the right hand side over where it

[10:58] says W for width, I'll change that to 1,000. Over where it says H for height, I'll change that to 1,500. This is going to be the template for our Pinterest pin. I'll then click onto this incredible product photo that we

[11:11] generated, rightclick it, and click onto where it says copy as PNG. I will then zoom into our Pinterest pin template and making sure that I've clicked onto it on the right hand side, I'll then click onto where it says add a smartboard.

[11:24] Now, clicking onto that original template, what I will then do is to rightclick and simply hit paste. And by using this product photo as our reference image, look at the pin that we can create using the kit flows feature

[11:37] by clicking onto this smartboard underneath where it says describe what you want to create. I will simply say create a highly engaging Pinterest pin of an elegant lady spraying this perfume bottle using a similar background. The

[11:52] header will say five perfumes for every occasion and the call to action at the click, I'll go to where it says generate. And it's created this Pinterest pin for us right here, which is incredible. It is an elegant lady

[12:05] sort of punched in the ground the same way that sort of perfume bottle is over here as well. She is holding that perfume spraying it. The only thing I would say guys is the header doesn't really stand out too much. And the same

[12:19] with the call to action that sort of green on green. So what I will do in this case, I'm going to click onto where it says generate again. And it's now given me this, which is exactly the type of pin that we are after. A very strong

[12:31] call to action to maximize those clicks. The header as well, and of course the photo and the background. Extremely high quality. When we upload these Pinterest pins, you can see just how much they will stand out among the competition,

[12:46] which is absolutely crucial to maximize the amount of clicks that you can get conversions that you can generate. And what I've also done is I've created several different Pinterest pins for you guys. For example, best smelling

[12:59] perfumes that get compliments, read more, top perfumes for hot weather versus cold weather, luxury versus cheap, and how to choose a perfume based on your personality. Again, these Pinterest pins and this entire template

[13:13] as you wish. I've got a link in the video description where you can access this exact template. What we're now going to do is take the first step in actually starting to generate those affiliate marketing commissions. And to

[13:27] going to upload our first Pinterest pin before we retrieve the affiliate links or anything like that. So, I'm going to select the first pin that I want to upload over to Pinterest, which will be this one for example, five perfumes for

[13:40] every occasion, which looks absolutely incredible with a strong call to action. simply click onto where it says Smartboard. And I'll click again onto where it says quick export to export as a PNG. So you first want to make sure

[13:54] business.pinterest.com so that you can promote affiliate links I'll simply click on to where it says create pin. And the first thing I will Pinterest pin image, which looks absolutely incredible. Now, to maximize

[14:09] the visibility that your Pinterest pin does get, what you want to do is to make sure that you include in the Pinterest pin descriptions the exact search terms Pinterest with buyer intent. For example, best perfume for office, best

[14:24] perfume for date night, daily use, and so on. Now, in order to generate that description, you can use the help of chat GPT for example. So what I will say is to write a concise Pinterest pin description for visibility on Pinterest

[14:37] for people searching the following search terms best perfume for office date night and so on. And I said also give me a Pinterest pin title. I'll hit Pinterest pin title and description containing those highly searched for

[14:51] keywords being searched for on Pinterest with buyer intent. As you can see bolded that title and description which I've pasted in. Now, crucially, before you that you're driving traffic to those affiliate links. And there is a working,

[15:06] proven method that people are using to do that on Pinterest. You literally want to paste in a link right here to an affiliate article, which does expand upon the five perfumes for every occasion. That will warm up your lead or

[15:20] your potential customer. And once they read that article, a percentage of them should click onto your affiliate links, maximizing those affiliate sales. Now, by far the best and most convenient way to create articles just like this is to

[15:36] use a feature in Hostinger called Horizons, and I'll leave a link in the video description for Hostinger along with a discount code next to that link. You can get signed up for literally around $3 a month. And with my discount

[15:49] code, you can get signed up for even less than that. So once you are signed to make sure that you've clicked onto where it says websites on the lefthand where it says add a website and then hosting a horizons. Now this site is

[16:04] affiliate articles onto. And with hosting horizons, the quality of those articles is extremely high. Wait until you see. So, I'll simply type in create a simple site that I can post articles onto that reviews different types of

[16:18] fragrances and perfumes. I'll simply click onto where it says return. And the Hosting Horizon's AI chatbot may ask you a few questions. In my example, it said, "Do you want any visitors to be able to post their own reviews onto your site or

[16:31] will only you be posting articles?" Number two, it's asked, "What's your preferred color scheme for the site?" For example, luxury, elegant, modern, minimalist, warm, earthy. So, I'm going to simply say only me and luxury elegant

[16:44] and hit return. And it's created this incredible looking website for me, which we can very easily insert those review articles onto. They will appear over where it says reviews over here. And we can very easily insert them simply by

[16:57] telling the Horizon's AI chatbot exactly what to create. Now, if you did want to edit any of this site, literally anything, simply type in exactly what you want to edit and the site will be edited exactly as directed. Now, the

[17:12] first thing I'm going to do to create our first piece of affiliate content is to simply say, create an article that reviews the five best luxury perfumes for the respective five occasions: office, daily use, date night, hot

[17:27] weather, and going out. Those correspond perfectly with exactly what that buyer traffic are searching for on Pinterest. I'll then say, "Insert highly engaging and relevant images into the article." Now, before I hit enter, this next step

[17:42] is absolutely crucial. It's how we're going to be finding those five different fragrances that are best for each of those occasions that we can link as affiliate links into our article. Now, by far the best way to do, there are

[17:56] the way that will save you the most time, guys. It's still a little bit timeconuming, but well worth it, especially with the potential payoff, is to go over to Amazon, right? Once you've signed up to the Amazon Associates

[18:09] to retrieve an affiliate link for any product that you search, and you simply want to filter down by beauty, right? So, if I scroll down underneath where it says shop by department, I can then click onto where it says beauty and

[18:23] health. And because we are talking about luxury beauty fragrances, I'm then going to click onto where it says premium beauty. I'll then filter down further to get access to those affiliate links by clicking onto where it says fragrance on

[18:35] down, filter down even further by clicking onto where it says women's. And the final filter that I will apply will be underneath where it says price since we are promoting luxury perfume. And since we do want to maximize the amount

[18:49] of those affiliate conversions that we can generate per sale, I'm going to click onto where it says 200 and above, which is very fitting for a platform like Pinterest. And you'll then be left with six pages of luxury perfumes. Right

[19:03] now, what we need to do is to select five of those perfumes because we know our article will talk about the five best luxury perfumes for the respective five occasions, office, daily use, and so on. Now, by far the quickest way to

[19:17] do this, might not be the cleanest way, but it is by far the quickest and it but it is by far the quickest and it works, is to go over to Amazon and each them. Right? So, starting with page one, what I will do is simply click onto the

[19:30] page. And on my MacBook keyboard, I will simply hold down command and A, control and A if you're using Windows. And what I will do is I will simply rightclick, click onto where it says copy to copy absolutely everything on this page. I'll

[19:44] then go over to chat GPT and simply paste it in. And I'll repeat the exact same thing for all six of those pages. Turns out there were seven pages, but once you've pasted all of those in into chat GPT, looks really messy, but here

[19:59] is where it all comes together. You simply want to say at the end, of all these perfumes, select five. Just tell me the names that fit best into each of the following categories. And I've said best perfume for office, date night,

[20:12] best going out perfume for daily use, and hot weather. And I'll simply hit enter. So it's given us these five for each scenario. Best perfume for hot weather, Creed Love in White for summer. Already sounds right to me. So what

[20:24] we're going to do at this stage is you want to go back over to Amazon and simply copy over each one of these names. Type them into the search bar as I've done for this first example. Simply get the link for each of them, which you

[20:38] can very simply copy. And you want to make note of each one of these five different perfumes for each one of those different occasions like I've done over here. And once you've got each affiliate link for each one of those perfumes, you

[20:51] simply want to say next to each one of them, promote and recommend this perfume link. And I'll paste in that affiliate link. And I'll do exactly the same for the remaining four. And once you've done that for all five perfume affiliate

[21:04] products, the bulk of our work is pretty much done. You simply want to select all, rightclick, copy, head back over to Horizons, simply paste it in, and then hit enter. And your first article will now be created with each of those

[21:17] affiliate links placed into that article naturally. So, it does take a while. I'm you in a second. So, that first article is now created. Let's take a look at it to see if we're happy with it. So, I'm going to click onto it. The five best

[21:31] luxury perfumes for every occasion. So far, I'm very happy with that featured image, which also features at the headline image. First up, a curated guide to the finest luxury fragrances for every moment of your life, from the

[21:44] boardroom to a romantic evening under the stars. And it goes straight in to recommend the perfect office fragrance. And here we have a call to action essential." If I click onto it, guys, that does go directly to our affiliate

[22:00] link. That's absolutely perfect. And it repeats exactly the same for each one of those different situations. So, your signature daily scent, strong call to action, really good image over there. You got these sort of tags as well. If I

[22:14] scroll down, your ideal date night scents, got a picture of a cocktail. And what I love is how it sort of varied the language in each one of these call to actions, right? Discover this office essential. Shop your signature scent.

[22:42] Again, each of them linking to our affiliate link. And at the bottom, what an affiliate disclaimer, which is when you buy through links on our site.

[22:54] Of course, Essence is the brand name that Hostinger Horizons gave us without us even asking. So, once you're happy with your article, you can simply click onto where it says publish and anything that you want to change. Literally

[23:06] anything, type it in to the AI chatbot on the left hand side, and it will change exactly what you ask it to change. So, I'm very happy with it as it it says publish, and I'll copy over the URL for that particular article. go back

[23:20] over to our Pinterest pin, paste that in as a destination link, and I'll simply publish immediately. And the quality of our published pin and that corresponding article containing our affiliate links is extremely high, which is extremely

[23:34] important when it comes to Pinterest affiliate marketing. They far exceed, in my opinion, even the most popular of pins being searched for in the shopping niche under which we are competing with other affiliate marketers. And of

[23:49] articles containing those affiliate links that you create, especially if are specifically searching for on Pinterest, which I showed you exactly how to identify the more in those affiliate marketing commissions that we

[24:04] can generate. This has honestly got to be one of the fastest ways to actually get started with Pinterest affiliate marketing without sacrificing quality by implementing a proven working strategy that can work over the long term that

[24:18] thousands of affiliate marketers are implementing successfully on Pinterest. And of course, we were able to set this up in only a fraction of the time by utilizing two AI tools that is Hostinger and Kit. Again guys, links in the

[24:32] description of this video, discount codes next to those links. And by clicking on to my link for KD, you will get access to that flow to that template that I just set up, which you can very easily copy, edit, and refine to promote
