Pinterest so let's dive into it so first I'd like to talk about the income
potential and the first blogger I wanted To show you her name is Debbie her site
is the flooring girl It's a typical home decor site but she
has a very strong focus Except everything related to flooring
and she started another separate blog Not to mix the two different topics the
blogging tips and her home decor stuff She started a separate blog where she
shared her income report for April 2019 She made $22,000 from her home decor
blog just in a few moments I'll tell you More about how exactly she makes money
with her blog but just to inspire you Debbie is a person who started her blog
specifically because she was in a very
Critical financial situation she had a
huge debt to pay and really fast So actually this blog helps her do this
even much faster than she ever could Dream about it and now if we scroll down
a little bit you'll see here that she Shares the exact sources of income and
the biggest is for her is affiliate Links and she makes mostly money from
Amazon but then she also added links to A reward style and other some other
affiliate products and then she also Makes quite a lot of money with ads on
her site it's display ads and she uses Mana metric network it's similar it's
also considered a premium ad network Just like media vine or AD thrive you
need a lot of traffic though to get Access to some of this premium ad
networks and also part of her income in That month comes from selling her own
SEO ebook for about it's about six Thousand dollars but even those six
thousand dollars is a lot especially for Someone who just starting I want to note
here that the majority of her income Comes from the affiliate links and the
advertising that she has on her blog Itself right on she makes this money
through her niche home decor niche and I'd like to also show you this DIY blog
by Jennifer from Jennifer maker and she Published her latest income report on
the blog in 2017 when she made almost $15,000 but actually she is now making
seven figures with her blog per year and She stopped sharing her income reports
on the blog pages but she sends her Income reports only to people who are
signed up to her list But before we move to her current income
and some information she shares through Through the email I just wanted to show
you this old income report from 2017 Because here you can see all the details
from let's call them humble beginnings Even though $15,000 that she made in
that month is already a huge amount of Money for most of people who are just
starting now so she made in that month $900 from media vine ads it's display
ads on her side then she had quite a Good affiliate income and the biggest
income stream for her it was her own Product it was a course she made about
$12,000 that month from selling her Courses so she made a course for such a
narrow niche for people who like these Cricut machines and know how to use them
or want to learn how to use them and she Made so much money and probably it
wasn't probably it was the time when she Launched her course I believe and now I
just went to my inbox to show you what She's sending now well this is the most
recent I've got from her in December 2019 she shared how much money she made
specifically in this email she focused
On advertising income and in that month
she I just want to make a little note Here that December it's the last month
of the year and it's the last month of The highest season for ad income so the
rpms like the payment that you get for a Thousand visitors on your side is the
highest in that month so she made about $40,000 with media vine ads on her blog
and we're still talking about the same Blog that in 2017 made nine hundred
dollars with media vine ads now you can Tell the difference right and she's done
a lot of work in these years but anyways Just three years of difference and you
can tell how even ad income is very much Scalable if you know what you're doing
and if you're using quality traffic Sources and the second income stream was
her YouTube channel so on YouTube you Are monetized through Google Adsense ads
right and she made over a thousand Dollars just with ads on her YouTube
channel this also sounds crazy but she's Done a lot of work to grow her YouTube
channel but still $8,000 is the money That she's making through her blogging
business it's not exactly on her site That she makes this money but her
YouTube videos are also shared of course Through other social media that she is
using on Facebook she is sharing them All the time and she has them as well in
her inside of her blog posts and I can Also show you her October 2019 income
report because here she shared Specifically her affiliate revenue for
that month and you can see here that Advertising revenue in this month she
didn't cover it on in the email but she Focused on affiliate revenue and just
with Amazon affiliate program she made Over $4,000 and you can see here some
other affiliate networks and specific Products even sometimes that she's using
for affiliate income on her blog and now I'd like to show you another income
report from Sorella blog it's in February 2018 she made about $9,000 and
you can see here some words that are Already familiar for you probably first
it's a drive ad income right it's Display ads on her side at thrive is one
of the premium ad networks then she had About $1,000 from sponsored posts about
$700 from YouTube a little bit from some Affiliate networks and also her sales on
Etsy we're about $1,200 you probably Know that I'm sharing the best comment

inspiration and now moving to the second Part I promise to show you why Pinterest
is the best place for you to get traffic Fast from if you start a new website in
one of these niches we're talking about Today so let's look at the Pinterest we
need to go to analytics audiences sites And then from here you'll click on book
interest users and here inside this Report you can scroll down a little bit
and you will see that DIY and crafts Home decor are actually some of the top
niches and if you click on one of them You will see on the right side some
additional subcategories and subtopics And you can see the popularity of these
topics on the platform now I also invite You to check the page Pinterest comm
slash categories because on this page You will see some of the biggest niches
on Pinterest and if I open DI wine Crafts you will see here that there are
almost 68 million followers of this Niche on the platform and then if I open
home decor you will see that this niche Has 139 million followers on Pinterest
now maybe you've seen me doing this in Some of my previous videos if you look
at the big category and then you scroll Down to related topics you can find some
additional ideas of what can be like the Narrow niche inside this big niche of
DIY and crafts for example so we're Looking now at quilting or embroidery
and you can see exactly how many people Are following this exact topic so it's
about 2 million followers for this one Now getting back to our successful
bloggers in this niche I just wanted to Show you some of the examples of how
they use Pinterest to drive traffic to Their sites so Debbie has about 7.4
million monthly viewers on her Pinterest Account
now and you can see how many bores she Has it's almost 400 boards so she's
doing a lot of work on Pinterest you can Tell I know that Debbie is a good
specialist in SEO Google SEO so the Majority of her traffic comes from
Google it's about three hundred thousand Monthly page views but also she mentions
here that she's using Pinterest
Strategies that allow her to generate
between 140 and 180 page views a month From Pinterest alone so even though
Debbie is doing so well on Google she's Not ignoring what what's going on with
Pinterest and she's trying to get as Much traffic as possible from Pinterest
as well I can tell you that Google SEO game is
not easy for beginners because you need Time and you need patience while you're
building those backlinks and while You're writing those long articles for
that will rank high on Google and it's Not the same with Pinterest because here
you can start getting traffic within Several months since you start your
account and this is really helpful for Beginners I always recommend anyone who
wants to start a website in one of these Niches to start from Pinterest because I
can show you here an example of one of The students of my Pinterest SEO traffic
secrets course her name is Olga and she Has a site on a pretty narrow niche her
site is called age burry and she's Focusing on suing tutorials I'm now on
my course page and showing you her Testimonial for the course and at this
time when she wrote it it was about six Point seven million monthly viewers on
Pinterest and she was very happy with The course but I'm really proud looking
at her account now even a little bit Later when I see that she reached over
nine million monthly viewers on Pinterest and it's not just the this
monthly viewers on Pinterest that she Gets I know for sure that her blog was
accepted to media vine and network she Also has some affiliate income through
Amazon on her site and probably by now She's getting also some significant
amount of Traffic from Google because her site has
this long style articles with very Digital descriptions and all the videos
and instructions for her readers but I'm Really happy that Pinterest gave her
site this initial boost and allowed her To start making the first money with her
site if you ask me what's her secret What she is doing different from maybe
you or maybe some other people who are Not success successful on Pinterest you
can tell that she has a ton of boards They're all optimized for SEO you can go
and check how many keywords she included In the descriptions of her boards you
can tell that she is working hard on her Account that she's adding digital
descriptions to her pins she has this Huge variety of styles and designs of
her Pinterest images and all of that Helps her to get a lot of traffic from
Pinterest so if you're interested in Joining my Pinterest SEO traffic secrets
course you can click on the link in the
Top right corner and also in the
description below this video and also I Have a free Pinterest masterclass I'll
give you a link as well in the top right Corner and in the description below this
videos and of course I'd like to go back To the blog of jennifer maker and also
show you her Pinterest account so she Has over 10 million monthly viewers you
can tell that this is all DIY home decor Crafts right this is what her account is
about and you can see here that she has Over a hundred and seventy two boards
her following is quite big if you click On the community you'll see that she has
over a hundred and twenty three thousand Followers and if you think of some
inspiration for growing your own Pinterest account in one of these niches
then take a look at her account really And just see how different are the
styles of her pins but how she's paying Attention to making her text overlays
really easy to read and even if you Scroll really quickly the feed you will
see that all the colors are different And they are all attractive the images
and also the text are so easy to read by The way if you pay attention to her
account you will notice that almost Every
that we're looking at has a text of Elena – on top of it and this is the
very basic recommendation that I give to All my students in the course program
that you have to have a text overlay if You are working on getting traffic from
Pinterest because I would say that in This home decor and DIY niche there is a
big tendency that users are going just To like your images if you just make
photos of your crafts or maybe of the Home decor or interior decor that you
want to show users might like them as Ideas and they might save to their
boards but if you don't give them a Reason on your pin itself to click
through from the pin to your website They will not go to your site they don't
have a reason for this it just like the Idea and they just save it to their
board with a favorite let's say living Room decor ideas okay and of course if I
go to Sorella a Pinterest account it's The the other blog that I showed you the
income report for her site you will see The same pattern she has a huge monthly
viewers number on Pinterest and I'm sure That she gets a ton of traffic from
Pinterest she also started adding lately I can tell a lot of video pins if you
click on the close up you will see that All the users now have a chance to click
on this video engagement icons and this Helps the video pins stand out as well
not just because they're moving pins but Also because they have this very
different type of engagement that is not
Available for the regular image pins and
I can tell you that for bloggers and E-commerce stores and for anyone who is
selling handmade products on Etsy for Example or maybe on your own website
ecommerce website it's a very good Strategy to have this video pins and
show the process the creative process or Maybe just the last moments before your
finishing the item because it really Matches the Snitch when you're showing
the actual process of making the item And not just showing the result in the
shape of the e let's say a pin image so The video pins really work great for
anything related to handmade to crafts And DIYs so I recommend you to start now
using your video pins because you can Tell that since there are not so many
videos on Pinterest video pins I mean The platform is trying hard to you know
to support creators who spend their Extra time for creating this special
format of pins like different from Images it's video pins you maybe also
notice some pins like this one where Part of the pin is moving it's the top
part let's say is a video and the bottom Part is some text and in just a static
image so you can create this kind of Pins in canva for example it's a free
online tool and in my course I have a Video lesson showing you how you can do
this in canva really quickly and easily And as I promised at the beginning of
this video I'll not just talk about Pinterest all the time but I'll also
mention some other traffic sources for This blogs and the biggest traffic
source for Debbie maybe you already Understood that she's a specialist in
Google SEO so she is getting a lot of Traffic from Google specifically from
Google I also know that for Jennifer Maker YouTube probably is a great
traffic source and also income source Because she makes money with YouTube ads
yeah so she has around two hundred and Sixty eight thousand subscribers right
now on YouTube and if you think that she Became so big and even she has this
verified icon on her account because she Started years ago maybe ten years ago or
something you're mistaken because if you Sort her videos by the oldest you will
see that her earliest videos were added Just three years ago and you can tell
here that just this first four videos We're published three years ago and then
she got really serious about her YouTube Strategy and started adding two years
ago she started adding a ton of videos And you can tell that this is an endless
list of videos that she created to Achieve this success on YouTube and also
with her blog and as I mentioned video Format is really great for this kind of
niches I just wanted to show you the
YouTube account of Sorella blog and
you'll see here that she also has 229 thousand subscribers now YouTube is
not an easy type of content creating Videos takes more time than just making
photos or creating images for Pinterest Getting traction on Google is also not
so easy takes time it takes time to Build your domain Authority and also to
build your backlinks so I'm not telling You that you should only focus on
Pinterest forever but as a beginner I Believe Pinterest can give you a great
boost and it can give you the first Income that allows you to draw your
presence on other platforms as well I Hope this video was helpful and if you
