Now that you have everything you need in place, Let's begin the pinning process.

Getting Your Affiliate Link

  • Decide on what you want to pin on Pinterest within the Wealthy Affiliate platform.
  1. Click on the Affiliate button
  2. Copy your affiliate link - it will go to your clipboard in the background

Create A Pretty Link

  • Log into your back office of your website
  • Click on the Pretty Link smart button on the left
  • Click on "Add New Link"
  • Paste your affiliate link into the "Target Url"
  • Create your Pretty Link in the next line
  • Add a title that you will recognize for this link
  • Click on "Create"

  • Go to the correct link and copy the new (masked) pretty link you just created to the clipboard

Creating A Pinterest Pin

  • Log into your Pinterest Account
  • You can then create a new board to save your pins in or add the pin to an existing board
  • Click on the "+" in the lower right hand corner

*Correction as of 4/29/17 Pinterest has moved the "+" to the top right corner of your page is not a bright red.*

  • Click on "Upload a Pin"
  • Click on Choose Photo (the image you screenshot and saved in your folder for this purpose)
  • Add a description and the Pretty Link that is saved to your clipboard
  • Add a couple of relevant # (hash tags)

Finished Product

Here is an example of a pin I created and posted to promote the Wealthy Affiliate Home Page.


As you can see, I have the image that I screenshot and a short description. Then I added my affiliate link that I made with Pretty Link and a few relevant hashtags.

I then went to the pin and tested it. When you click on the image, the visit button, or the url link after the description, they all lead back to the Wealthy Affiliate home page that has my affiliate link attached to it. When a visitor clicks on the link, signs up, well......

We all know what happens from there $$$$$

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.
