Ever wonder if you can really get paid to use Pinterest?
You’re not alone.
Pinterest is hugely popular. So, popular, in fact, it has grown from an invite-only place to organize thoughts to a mega visual search engine.
And it’s not just all DIY, recipes, and fashion. Businesses, bloggers (myself included), and affiliate marketers of all niches have found Pinterest to be a powerhouse of social traffic, shares, and money.
And because Pinterest is a revenue generator for millions, it also means it’s completely 100% possible to get paid to use Pinterest.
Here’s how.
Get Paid To Use Pinterest as a Virtual Assistant
You know all those bloggers, businesses, and affiliate marketers I just mentioned?
Well, they need help with their Pinterest presence. You see, Pinterest has the potential to generate a ton of revenue — when done right. And doing Pinterest right from a business standpoint requires a lot of time, energy, and effort.
That’s where you come in.
As a Pinterest Virtual Assistant, you can help others perfect their Pinterest game (and literally get paid to use Pinterest all day).
Some things a Pinterest VA might do:
- Set up a new Pinterest account
- Create boards that fit within a particular brand
- Find and approach group boards to join
- Make pins that pop using free tools like Canva
- Automate Pinterest accounts using schedulers like BoardBooster
- Find, follow, and unfollow boards and fellow pinners

Become A Pinterest Affiliate Marketer
Another way to get paid to use Pinterest is by becoming an affiliate marketer. And it couldn’t be simpler to get going ASAP.
First things first, start a blog. (It’s much easier and more affordable than you think!).
Why start a blog?
It’s much more effective to be a blogger that uses Pinterest as a platform to promote affiliate pins than it is to simply use Pinterest to pin affiliate stuff all day every day.
You see, affiliate marketing is only effective if you promote authentically. An easy way to be an authentic promoter is to build an audience that actually trusts you and is interested in products you promote.
When you blog regularly, you start to build that loyal audience. And that translates to more money for you as an affiliate marketer. Remember, the end goal is to get paid to use Pinterest.
You can absolutely accomplish this goal by creating a smart affiliate marketing strategy that uses a combination of Pinterest and blogging.
Set Up Shop And Start Selling Buyable Pins
Are you a maker? Designer? Creator? Crafter?
It’s no secret that you can use your creativity to set up shop online. Entire platforms, like Etsy, were built to help creatives, like you, sell their handmade creations to millions of shoppers.
But did you know that you can also use Pinterest to sell your stuff?
It’s true!
Pinterest has something called “buyable pins.”
That means you can turn your designs, art, and creations into pins that users can click on and purchase — without ever having to leave Pinterest.
How cool is that?
Buyable pins make it super easy to get paid to use Pinterest! After all, people go on Pinterest for inspiration.
That is, they’re looking for decorating tips, gift ideas, fashion choices, and other visual inspo for their next project, event, or celebration.
And when someone is in the planning stage, eventually they’re looking to buy. That’s where your buyable pins come into play!
My favorite platform for turning your designs into buyable pins is Shopify. In fact, Shopify not only makes it easy to create buyable pins that help you get paid to use Pinterest — it makes it super simple to sell digital products on autopilot. Meaning you can get paid to use Pinterest and earn passive income. Talk about a win win!

Ashlee,
This is the right time to become a Pinterest VA. I have noticed that every blogger focuses on this platform to drive traffic. Any social media is time-consuming and if you can drive results, every blogger will be ready to hire us as a VA.
I always thought this was one of the best side hustles out there to make money online.
Great tips!
