What You Will Need To Begin Pinning

Keep in mind that this training is how I get my W.A affiliate links to post to Pinterest without the annoying message you receive when they reject your post.

Others may have different methods that work. You are always welcomed to leave a comment within the training so please don't be shy about sharing what works for you.

A Pinterest Account

This, of course, is quite obvious. It is a free and powerful platform. It is very easy to set up an account. Pinterest even walks you through the process so I won't be covering that in detail.

go to www.Pinterest.com and set up a free account.

A Snippet Tool

If you new to the lingo, a snippet tool is needed to take screenshots. I personally like to use Monosnap. It is a free and very easy to use. There are snippet tools on your OS (operating system) I am sure that you can use as well.


go to www.monosnap.com to set up your free account.

Image Folder

This is just my preference. I find it much easier to store my images in folders for future use. As you advance, you will find that you are going to be saving many images. Using folders has always helped me stay organized and saves time hunting for an image that I saved on my device.

As you can see from the image below, I have a folder created in my downloads called "Wealthy Affiliate Screenshots".

Pretty Link Lite Plugin

Pretty Link is going to be the plugin that "masks" or makes your affiliate link look much prettier and it will be masked as an affiliate link!

This plugin will be installed in the back office of your website.

  • Log into your website
  • Hoover over Plugins in your dashboard on the left side of the page
  • Click on "Add New"
  • In the search bar type " pretty link"
  • Click on the "Active" button



These are the 4 components that I use and have found it very easy, once these steps are taken, to begin sharing my affiliate links with Pinterest without being penalized or having my pins rejected.

Thank you. Social media is a great way to promote. How many people are not familiar with at least one type of social media? It's also a wonderful way to network with like minded people, obtaining ideas, and making new friendships.

Looks great ☺ Some spelling may need be checked (not to put a negative light on this at all, just advice) but otherwise it's so easy to follow and best of all, you make it fun to read with plenty of pictures/screenshots to guide you, which is great for someone like me. Awesome!

Thank you Lisa, I appreciate your advice and taking the time to read this. I will go check my spelling. I really need to take a grammar/English class, I always sucked at that :)

Haha. You & me both. The irony that I missed a word out in my response whilst advising to check your spelling haha. I haven't used pinterest yet, but this is definitely the type of tutorial I could follow. All the best! ☺

I wasn't too sure about Pinterest to begin with but the more I am on that platform the more I like it. I have found so great stuff on there both for business and personal interest. Feel free to check out my board when you start building yours if you do.

That's awesome. I am VERY new to the online world, other than emails, Facebook & watching videos on YouTube, I really have no idea - I will be dipping into all of these social media platforms as soon as I get my head around all of this info.
I read your profile & see that you were much the same years ago, so I will definitely be following you going fwd. Thanks

I am honored that you want to follow me Lisa. I am always here for you if you need anything. I never in my wildest dreams thought there was so much to learn. I don't believe there has ever been a day since I joined Wealthy Affiliate that I have not learned something new.

Creating training and sharing with other members, I believe, is just one of the greatest benefits of being a member.
