How I Became a Pinterest Manager (and Earned within a Month)
Is this the first time hearing people will actually PAY you to be on Pinterest all day - something you already do?
My journey began a few years ago while I was an international teacher abroad, blogging about my experiences and trying to get more eyes on my website. Naturally, I found Pinterest could be used to drive traffic to my little slice of the internet and quickly became obsessed with designing pins and testing out different strategies.
As I outgrew teaching I wanted to start exploring options for online remote work and decided to start my very own Pinterest Marketing business. To be honest, when I first started out I didn’t see it as ‘starting a business’ - I simply wanted to earn my teaching salary while working remotely. And so my journey began.
My Journey to Becoming a Pinterest Manager
Learning the strategy behind marketing on Pinterest was easy. You can find most of this information online for free just like I did. If you’re motivated enough and really want to make this work for you, finding the information you need to succeed will come naturally.
Figuring out how to land clients and actually get paid was another story. Not only was I intimated by what seemed like the mammoth task of trying to convince a person I didn’t know to actually pay me for Pinterest marketing, I had no idea where to start. I tried absolutely every strategy out there to get clients (I was 100% determined to make this work) and suprisingly was able to sign my very first client within 30 days. Not everyone sees success this early on and it can take time to figure out the best way forward for you, but sticking with this once you’ve decided this is the path for you is the key to winning.
When I started working in Pinterest Marketing 6 years ago my ultimate goal was to replace my teaching salary and travel full-time. This meant I would need to make $1,500 a month and I would need to sign four clients. After only three months I achieved this goal and it still blows my mind to this day. What’s even more mind bending is that I’ve now grown this business to $30,000 months and hired a team to help me take on more clients and expand bigger than I ever thought possible.
Does this feel in alignment with something you want for yourself?
While the income and earning potential is something you can easily get onboard with - the truth is that there are so many options today to be able to generate this kind of wealth for yourself online. Is Pinterest Marketing the right option for you? Remember that while money is absolutely a great motivator, you’re still going to have to actually be working on Pinterest everyday to make this work for you. This means you’ll need to get comfortable with going out of your comfort zone and putting yourself out there on social media when reaching out to potential clients, you’ll need to be constantly learning and developing your Pinterest skills, you’ll need to invest in creating your business whether its by purchasing a course or paying for an invoicing system or buying a stock photo subscription, and face pushing through challenging times when your business is taking a bit longer to gain traction than you expected.
If you’re 100% committed and want this for yourself, with no option for failure, you’re bound to succeed. If the thought of getting to play on Pinterest all day - writing descriptions and getting creative with pin design - is appealing, you’re definitely on the right track. If you want the perfect balance of getting to communicate with potential clients while still getting to quietly work from your laptop anywhere and anytime speaks to you like it did to me - becoming a Pinterest Manager and starting your own business is worth exploring.

Where to go after the course?
What contributed to my success the most was taking my learnings one step further. On top of learning about Pinterest and business, I’ve studied and learnt everything I can about website design, social media for business and branding - deciding on this path means constantly learning and becoming obsessed with furthering your skills and knowledge.
My success can be attributed to putting a lot of effort into my brand, and building a business that was authentically me. I’ve invested thousands of dollars into mindset and inner work. I began blogging and started seeing significant traffic to my own website - through marketing it on Pinterest, of course.
Before the end of the month, I had my first client contact me through my website wanting to book me, no questions asked! They had simply found my content and really connected with my brand and message so they wanted to hire me. Just. Like. That.
I now earn my full-time income from this little business and am so grateful I took the leap and started.
I absolutely love being a Pinterest Manager and having my own business that allows me to travel full-time and work on my own schedule - and I really want that for you, too! There is absolutely need to be stuck in a soul-sucking 9-5 day job.
If becoming a Pinterest VA and owning your own Pinterest business is something that resonates with you, this is your sign to take the leap.
