Stop Just Posting Pretty Pictures and Start Solving Problems
Here’s the truth nobody’s telling you…
Pinterest isn’t social media. It’s a visual search engine.
People don’t come to Pinterest to be “entertained” or to doom scroll - they come for answers, ideas, and solutions. So when you’re posting something that looks nice but doesn’t actually say anything, you might get views… but you won’t make money on Pinterest.
To make money on Pinterest, you need clicks, clicks, clicks!
You need to be driving traffic to your monetised links. This could be:
Your product sales page
Affiliate link
Blog post
YouTube Video
TikTok video or TikTok Shop video
Whatever link you have monetised, you need to be getting clicks to it.
So, What Does This Look Like in Reality?
Here’s the difference between a pin that looks good and gets views, and one that actually drives clicks and earns you money.
Let’s say you are a beauty blogger, trying to drive traffic to a blog post that is jam-packed with affiliate links…
Most People might post a generic image of a serum bottle without any context or a basic title like ‘Top Skincare Tips’
Vague. Boring. Just No.
Instead…
Use AI to create a bespoke high-quality beauty image, with a text overlay that says:
“The £12 Serum That Cleared My Skin in 10 Days”
Or: “5 Skincare Swaps That Helped My Hormonal Acne (No Prescription Needed)”
In travel, it might be:
A pretty beach photo that says “Summer Vibes”
Sure, it’s cute, might get some saves, but what if instead:
You Posted a beautiful specific location image with a a text overlay that says:
“How I Flew to Greece for £50 - Budget Travel Tips That Work”
Or: “7 Hidden Gems in Italy That Aren’t Packed With Tourists”
Or: “The Top 10 Non-Hipster Coffee Shops in Brooklyn”
In business, it might be:
A pretty BossBabe picture with a motivational statement like “I get rich doing what I love”
Again, cute, pretty, motivating and these definitely do well on Pinterest for getting saves and views (and these are a big oart of mine and my clients strategies), buuuuuut, if you want those clicks, try:
An empowering BossBabe image, with a text on the screen that says:
“How to Make £10K Per Month, Working 10 Hours Per Week”
“How I Use Pinterest to Climb to the Top of Google”
“17 Faceless Business Ideas Anyone Can Do
Do you see the shift?
One’s just visual fluff. The other teases a solution or benefit your audience wants - whether that’s clear skin, affordable travel or a new business plan.
That’s because solving a problem gives people a reason to click - and that’s how you start to earn.
So hopefully now you understand:
Pretty = good
Pretty + clear value message = results aka CLICKS!
If your pins are just “nice to look at,” but don’t communicate what someone will get (knowledge, profit, happiness, savings), then they’ll scroll right past.
Think of your visuals like a book cover - but the title on that cover better tell me why I need to open it.
Visual Tips That Convert
Stop using generic product shots alone
Add strong onscreen text that teases a payoff
Use contrast & readable fonts
Tell me why I’m supposed to care
nscreen Hooks Are Your New Best Friend
2. On-Screen Hooks Need To Be Your New Best Friend
This is where most Pinterest creators trip up…
You may have nailed your keywords (so your pins are showing up in searches), but if the text on your pin isn’t juicy, then users won’t stop scrolling long enough to click through.
This is why pin design + copy matters just as much as Pinterest SEO.
How to Write Hooks That Work
Think of your pin text as a mini sales page:
What problem are you solving?
What desire are you fulfilling?
What benefit will the user get?
If you’re stuck with boring hooks like:
“Top 5 Skincare Products”
… that won’t cut it.
Instead, try leveraging tools like ChatGPT to turn plain titles into scroll‑stopping ones:
“7 Passive Income Pinterest Hacks That Paid My Rent Last Month”
“How To Get Paid For Reading Books"
“The Overnight Skincare Hack That Cleared Up My Acne”
“The Skincare Product That Is Killing the Botox Industry”
“How I Created Generational Wealth From my Bed”
This is exactly the type of copy that gets clicks - which means more traffic, more commissions, email sign‑ups, and more sales for your business!
How to Actually Make Money on Pinterest in 2026 - The 30‑Day Action Plan
Now for the juicy, actionable part. If you want to make money on Pinterest in 2026, follow this plan step‑by‑step plan and you should start seeing those clicks, clients and cash over the next 30-60 days:
Step 1: Define the Problem You Solve
Whether you are an affiliate marketer, a YouTuber, or selling digital products or services, just ask yourself:
What specific result am I helping people achieve?
What desire am I fulfilling with my content?
Be specific.
“Helping people make money online” is too vague.
Try:
Helping women make their first £500/month on Pinterest
Teaching people to earn without a website
Knowing your audience’s core desire is the foundation of monetisation.
Step 2: Create at Least 10 New Pins That Solve That Problem
Your goal isn’t quantity - it’s intention.
Each of your 10 new pins should:
Target a specific search query
Include a juicy, value‑driven onscreen hook
Solve a problem or offer a clear benefit
Use searchable keywords in title + description
These pins are strategic content, not decorations.
Step 3: Pin Them to Multiple Boards
Don’t just pin once.
Pin each of your 10 designs to at least 3 different relevant boards - this boosts visibility and gives Pinterest more opportunities to show your content.
Schedule them out over the next few weeks so you maintain consistency without overwhelm.
Step 4: Track What’s Working (and Pivot Fast)
Pay more attention to clickthroughs and engagement than “views.”
Why? Because views don’t pay bills - clicks and conversions do.
When you see certain pins getting traction:
Create more like them
Use similar hooks
Optimise descriptions with better keywords
This simple feedback loop lets you amplify what’s working fast.
Can You Make Money on Pinterest Without a Blog?
Yes, absolutely - and lots of people do.
Here’s how:
Affiliate marketing via strategic pins
Lead magnets and email list building
E‑book or digital product promotions
Service promotions (Pinterest management, coaching, etc.)
Affiliate partnerships (high‑ticket or recurring)
You don’t need a blog to get paid - you do need strategy, clarity, and pins that convert.
Why This Works (And Why Most People Fail)
Most people get stuck because:
They optimise for views, not clicks
Their pins are pretty, but not purposeful
They skip the why should I care? part
They don’t have a system to turn clicks into income
But you?
You’re about to flip that.
The goal isn’t more pins - it’s better pins.
Pins that serve a searchable need.
Pins that give users a reason to stop scrolling.
Pins that pay you.
