None of these methods require experience, an existing audience, or upfront investment—making them completely zero-risk. But before we dive in, let me introduce myself to those new here. Hi, I’m Gio, and I’m here to help you make money online and live the laptop lifestyle you deserve. Ready? Let’s get started.
Method 1: Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a proven way to make money by promoting other people’s products. I’ve been doing this for almost three years and have already earned six figures from it.
Here’s how it works:
- Choose a Niche: Select a theme for your Pinterest account.
- Get Affiliate Links: Obtain custom affiliate links from affiliate marketplaces or programs.
- Create Pinterest Content: Upload pins related to the products you’re promoting. For instance, if you’re in the luxury furniture niche, post attractive pins of furniture with affiliate links attached.
- Stay Consistent: Post 3–5 pins daily and create a content schedule.

Method 2: Print on Demand
Print on demand is perfect for creating and selling customized designs without inventory. Using platforms like Redbubble, you can design items such as t-shirts, mugs, and totes, and upload them to Pinterest for promotion.
Steps to succeed:
- Use tools like Canva or Kitto to design graphics.
- Identify niches (e.g., pets or anime).
- Post mockups to Pinterest linking to your store.
Method 3: One-Product Dropshipping Store
Dropshipping allows you to sell trending products without ever handling inventory. Create a Shopify store for a specific product, post engaging pins on Pinterest, and direct users to your store.
Pro Tip: Find trending products through platforms like TikTok or Amazon Finds.
Method 4: Amazon KDP
Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) lets you design and sell books, such as journals or workbooks, earning royalties per sale.
To get started:
- Use Bookbolt to create and publish designs.
- Promote your books on Pinterest with mockups and infographics.
Method 5: Blogging on Medium
Blogging on Medium is a quick and easy way to monetize Pinterest traffic.
Steps to implement:
- Create a Medium account.
- Choose a niche.
- Use tools like ChatGPT and Undetectable.ai to write AI-friendly blogs.
- Promote your blogs on Pinterest with Canva-designed infographics.
Method 6: Building an Email List
Building an email list creates a direct communication channel with your audience. Use Pinterest to direct traffic to a landing page where you can collect emails in exchange for freebies or discounts.
Method 7: Sponsorship
A significant Pinterest following can lead to high-paying sponsorships. Stay consistent with posting quality content, and over time, brands will start reaching out to partner with you.
Conclusion
These seven methods demonstrate that making money with Pinterest is accessible to everyone, regardless of experience or audience size. Choose a method, stay consistent, and success will follow.
