How to Use Pinterest to Drive Website Traffic and Make Money (What Worked for Me!)

By

If you’re looking for a way to grow your online presence and generate income—without dancing on TikTok or fighting the Instagram algorithm—let me introduce you to your new best friend: Pinterest.

I know Pinterest is often associated with recipes, home decor, and DIY projects, but behind the pretty pins lies a powerhouse search engine that can drive consistent traffic to your website and help you build a thriving online business. Whether you’re into blogging, affiliate marketing, selling digital products, offering services, or even launching physical products—Pinterest can work for you.

Why Pinterest Works

Pinterest isn’t just social media—it’s a visual search engine. People come to the platform with the intention to discover, plan, and purchase. That means your content (when optimized properly) can live for months or even years, bringing in traffic long after you’ve published it.

In fact, I have Pinterest pins that continue to generate traffic that I pinned almost a year ago. The “residual” effects are real and you can harness them to continue driving traffic day after day, month after month.

Compare that to Instagram posts that last a day or two… you can see why this platform deserves your attention.

My Personal Pinterest Journey

When I first started using Pinterest, I wasn’t seeing much traffic to my website. I wasn’t consistent and I didn’t have a plan – I was failing to be organized and run this part of my business like a business. I had products and content, but I needed eyeballs on them. I needed a plan. After investing in Pinterest Prosperity (more on that in a second), everything changed. Pinterest Prosperity isn’t my program. I found this particular creator on TikTok and what she had to say just resonated. I was inspired.

In just 12 months, I tripled my website traffic. I’m updating this blog post on May 25, 2025 to give you all accurate information. To give you a 30 day snapshot – from April 25 – May 25, 2024, my website visits were 3,900. As of April 25 – May 25, 2025, the website visits are 12,000. That’s a huge jump!

This growth has translated directly into more sales of my digital product lineup—without needing to post constantly or run expensive ads. In truth – I haven’t run one ad. It’s allowed me to focus on creating and let Pinterest do the heavy lifting.

So What Is Pinterest Prosperity?

Pinterest Prosperity is the exact course I used to learn the ins and outs of Pinterest marketing. I had taken another course for Pinterest marketing years before but for some reason it just didn’t resonate. I mentioned above that I found Pinterest Prosperity via a creator on TikTok and decided to jump in. It was a right time moment. It’s a step-by-step program that walks you through:

  • Understanding how Pinterest works (and how it’s different from social media)
  • Setting up a Pinterest business account the right way
  • Designing click-worthy pins (without needing to be a designer)
  • Building a blog or website and connecting it with a shop
  • Learning how to create and sell digital products
  • Consumer psychology
  • Using affiliate marketing, resell rights products, and services to monetize
  • Accessing resources, templates, and tools that make the process simple

It’s not just theory—it’s practical, hands-on, and gives you everything you need to start seeing real results.

If you’re wondering what my process has been:

  • I’ve pinned consistently everyday for the last year (yes, you can schedule pins so you don’t have to manually pin daily)
  • I’ve refined my messaging
  • I’ve tested pins to see which perform the best
  • I’ve written a ton of blog posts to drive traffic
  • My product line up has grown and evolved based on what sells
  • I also drive traffic to my retreats (a high ticket item but Pinterest travelers are all in)
  • I run the digital product side of my business like a business and I take it seriously

I don’t currently have a Pinterest course but I do offer coaching. If you’re interested, feel free to book your session here: Coaching
