How To Turn Your Beauty Passion Into A Profitable Side Hustle

Learn how to create a Pinterest page that will help you earn money while sharing your love of beauty and fashion

Do you spend hours browsing online for the latest or best foundation or curling cream? If so, you could be turning your passion into a profitable side hustle with affiliate marketing on Pinterest.

Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money online by promoting products from other companies. When someone clicks on your affiliate link and makes a purchase, you earn a commission. Most large e-commerce sites offer affiliate programs, and some of them are beginner-friendly, so you don’t need to have a large follower base or a website to sign up.

Pinterest is a great platform for affiliate marketing because it’s a visual platform where people are constantly looking for inspiration. It’s also the second-fastest-growing social media platform after TikTok, and the users browsing are usually looking to buy products or services.

In this post, I’ll show you how to start a Pinterest page and optimize it to grow your follower base and get traffic to your affiliate links.

Step 1: Create a Pinterest Business Account

The first step is to create a Pinterest Business account. This will give you access to analytics and other features that will help you track your progress. The best part is, it’s free to join!

Step 2: Choose Your Niche

If you’re passionate about beauty, you could focus on a specific category like makeup, nails, perfume, or haircare. Or, you could create a more general beauty board that covers a variety of topics. You can always create separate boards for each category.

Step 3: Find Products to Promote

Once you’ve chosen your niche, it’s time to start finding products to promote. There are a few different ways to do this. You can create an Amazon Associate account, and once you’re approved, search for products on Amazon. Make sure the products are being sold by trusted sellers on Amazon to avoid tarnishing your reputation. You can also sign up for the eBay affiliate program, but Amazon is a good start.

Step 4: Create Eye-catching Pins

The most important part of affiliate marketing on Pinterest is creating beautiful and engaging pins. Your pins should be visually appealing and easy to understand. They should also include clear calls to action, such as “Shop Now” or “Learn More.” My favorite platform to create pins is Canva. Canva is your best friend if you want to grow your Pinterest page. Again, it’s FREE!

Step 5: Optimize Your Pins

In addition to creating beautiful pins, you need to optimize them for Pinterest’s search engine. This means using relevant keywords in your pin titles and descriptions. You can also use hashtags to help people find your pins. Relevant pins in this category include #pinterestfinds #nailsinspo #hairinspo #viralproducts #productoftheday

Step 6: Grow Your Follower Base

The final step is to grow your follower base. This can be done by pinning regularly (three-five times a day is ideal), interacting with other users, and following relevant boards. You can also promote your Pinterest page on social media sites like Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook.

Conclusion

Pinterest is a lucrative platform for affiliate marketers in the beauty niche. Stick to these steps to watch your business grow and make money from sharing products you love.
