I am Indenting this Blog to Give a Basic Introduction of the Process and then I will Add Question And Answer Format to Give the Actual Steps and Clear the Doubts You Might be having while Reading.
But Before I Start the Actual Process I would Like to Inform you that I am Edwin and I have been Content Editor and SEO Practitioner since Last Decade.
I am No Stranger to the Publishing World. In Fact He has been crafting content online since before Google even launched Adsense.
Let me take you back a bit. I spent years running an agency that supported over two dozen food bloggers globally, helping them rake in six figures monthly through ad revenue.
But this year, I decided it was time for a shift. Armed with heaps of data, I realized there was a colossal opportunity not just in selling organic traffic from Pinterest but in becoming the advertiser myself.
So, I set my plan in motion, and by March 15, everything was up and running.
In these Mean Time I Quickly Bought a Domain Related to Recipe Name From Godaddy and Bought New Website Hosting from Hostinger for 1 Year.
One of My Team Member is WordPress Developer So, He was able to Setup a Website From Scrate to Finish in 3 Days. He Installed Most Recipe Friendly WordPress theme Cheer Up and Build all the Essential Detail Pages.
We Quickly Gathered Most Trending Recipe Ideas from Ahref’s Free Keyword Research Tool.
Two of Our Writers wrote 16 Blog Recipes in As Much Detail as Possible and 4 Listicle Blogs for the Newly Build Recipe Site.
Fast forward to 19th March, We had a Complete Brandable Site with 20+ Blogs Published and Pinterest Business Account to Run Ads. We Also Published 2 Listicle Pins and 8 Recipe Blog Pins into Pinterest Account to be able to Run Paid Ads on Pinterest.
We Avoided Creativity to the Pins and Quickly Created Pins from Ready to Create Canva Templets, Which was available on Canva’s Pinterest Portfolio. Avoiding to create Creative Pins came to be Our Best Decision in the Process Because It was Simple to Read and Compresence to Our Pinterest Ads Audience.
We Quickly Started Running Ads on Pinterest After Watching These Two Videos :
- How to Setup Pinterest Business Account
- How to Launch your First Pinterest Ads
Of Course We Watched Videos to Learn the Basics, And All the Targeting and Demographic’s Decision was Taken by Our Team.
We Started Running Ads on Pinterest From around 15$/Day. And After 2 Days Hardly 17$ was Spent in Ads and We have Toing Notification on Merchant’s Affiliate Dashboard. We Check Toing Right Away and We Saw We had Conversion. At the End of that Day We had 2 Conversion.
After the First Day We Realized We had Nothing was nothing short of Miracle. So We Ran “Website Traffic” Kind of Ads on Pinterest and We Targeted Women Only, Targeting women aged 35-55 in tier 1 countries, I was stunned to see steady clicks coming in at a mere $0.09 per click.
Now, let me tell you, marketing to this demographic on other platforms is usually a pricey endeavor. But I was on a roll and needed to prove that this traffic could convert.
I reached out to a client who targets this audience and negotiated a custom affiliate deal-35% commission with weekly payouts.
I studied the top food blogging brands with 10M+ monthly views, replicating their ad placements and using “dog whistle copy” to speak directly to my audience.
And then the magic happened. On day one, I got my first sale. By day two, there was another.
Fast forward six days, and my ad campaign has generated $2,369.50 in sales and $829 of which is mine. My client was thrilled, eager to keep me happy, and sent my payment right away.
Here’s the kicker: my total ad spend was just over $90 for those six days of traffic, and I’m sitting on nearly $830 in commissions from a recipe blog that’s less than two weeks old. Plus, running ads on Pinterest is supposed to boost organic traffic-although I’m still confirming that!
But here’s where it gets even more intriguing. I counted the available ad blocks on my site, and there are over 32 available zones that could be used.
I don’t like sites that are packed with ads, but there’s ample room to add a few other affiliate programs without compromising the visibility of my current ad that’s producing sales.
I’m already in talks to sell ads directly to several other clients, and I’ve begun crafting ads for a few of my brands that target this audience. With more working capital now flowing into this project, I’m ready to increase my ad budget and really ramp up my efforts.
Here I will Answer All the Details of this Process in terms of Question & Answers. to Make it More Interesting and Easy to Digest.

But Isn’t the Supplements & Weigh loss Products are banned on Pinterest ?
YES. It is Banned and will be Flagged Soon after you Upload. But in Our Case We Didn’t Advertised Product Directly. We Advertised Recipe’s Pins Instead.
Do you Run Consideration Ads or Conversion ?
Consideration Ads.
We are Getting $1 to $4 Per Click and You are at 0.09$ How ?
We Tricked it this to Only Run Ads in Tier 1 Countries and Not Top Tier Country USA. To Establish Low Cost Per Click, and avoided Direct Supplements and Product Ads.
So, People Click on “If You are Women Over 40+ Having Trouble Getting Sleep” (Read More Button) and Lands to Product Page ?
YES
What is your Optimization Strategy ?
In Between Outbound Clicks and Pin Clicks, We Always Choose Pin Clicks.
But Your CPA will Increase After Adding USA Right ?
YES. But Idea is to keep and Set CPA As Low As Possible Before We Add USA.
With Pinterest Ads isn’t Outbound Click = Pin Clicks ?
Yes, Very Much Similar But I think Pinterest will Promote Pin Clicks Better than Outbound Clicks.
After the End of Around 6-7 Days of Ads We Spent around 90$ in Ads and Revenue to Merchant Partner is $2,369.50 in sales and $829 is Our Commission and $740 is Our Net Profit
