Can you post affiliate links on Pinterest?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you can post affiliate links on Pinterest. The platform doesn\u2019t prohibit it, as long as your pins are useful and follow the rules. This means your pins should link to a relevant page. Plus, you need to clearly explain that it\u2019s promotional \u2013 provide an affiliate disclosure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Pinterest rules allow affiliate links, your program\u2019s rules might limit it. Some brands don\u2019t allow direct linking, while others might prevent you from using the platform as a traffic source. Before starting with Pinterest affiliate marketing<\/a>, check your program\u2019s conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to add affiliate links to Pinterest: step-by-step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s walk through the process. Follow our guide below to learn how to add affiliate links to Pinterest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Create a relevant pin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, create a new pin or find an existing one that matches the affiliate product you\u2019re going to promote. For example, if you\u2019re in the travel affiliate niche<\/a>, you can use a photo from a cruise to promote a platform for booking them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Add your affiliate link<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Give your pin a title and description. Then, add your affiliate link to the Link field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re sending your audience to a product page directly, paste your full tracking link. Don\u2019t use a link shortener, since Pinterest may flag your content as spam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this example, I\u2019ve added a link to Klook to a new pin about Istanbul cruises<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Beyond adding a link, you can also tag affiliate products in a dedicated field. It can work especially well for affiliate programs<\/a> like Amazon Associates, but others might restrict it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a travel content creator and work with more than one affiliate program, link management can be difficult. If you join Travelpayouts, you\u2019ll get access to over 90 brands and user-friendly tools to create and track your links in one place. <\/p>\n\n\n

Step 3: Add an affiliate disclosure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pinterest rules and FTC guidelines require you to specify the commercial nature of your content. This means that if you\u2019re linking directly to a product page, you need to add an affiliate disclosure to the pin description. This can be a simple hashtag, like #affiliate and #ad, or a simple sentence, like \u201cThis post includes affiliate links.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The user needs to clearly understand that they\u2019ll see an affiliate offer following your pin\u2019s destination link. Be transparent and avoid vague language, like \u201cbrand collaboration\u201d or \u201cpartner post.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what if you\u2019re not using direct links and instead lead users to your blog or website? In that case, you technically don\u2019t have to add an affiliate disclosure because it\u2019s already on your website. However, you can earn your audience\u2019s trust by being as transparent as possible. It\u2019s best to add a disclosure to your pin and also before the first affiliate link on the destination page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Check the destination page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before you hit the post, double-check your work. Paste your affiliate link into your browser and make sure that it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
