Done wrong and you risk annoying your followers and/or facing a potential ban from Pinterest.īut first: If you haven’t been serious about Pinterest, I highly recommend taking some time now to grow your account. If done right, affiliate links on Pinterest can help send some extra income your way. Today I thought we’d take a look at how to post affiliate links on Pinterest that don’t look spammy. In the blog post where Pinterest announced the reversal of their decision on affiliate links they did mention needing to abide by their Acceptable Use Policy, which includes notes on not being spammy, not using link cloakers, and using disclosures where necessary. The bulk of their blogging income came from posting affiliate links on Pinterest. The reason this is such exciting news is that before Pinterest banned affiliate links in early 2015 there were a lot of bloggers making really good money by posting affiliate links on Pinterest. And by good money I mean that there were bloggers who made the bulk of their income by posting links to Pinterest! Or maybe it has already begun and I’m still at the starting gate! It was just announced that bloggers can use affiliate links on Pinterest again, which means there’s about to be a mad dash to start pinning.

Hope this helps – let me know if you have more questions.

However, we will not allow affiliate links drive to spam or spam-like outcomes. We’re allowing all affiliate links at this time, regardless of network.
