I absolutely love Pinterest! It’s my go-to for planning meals, house renovations, and so much more. But beyond that, Pinterest offers amazing opportunities for making money. I’ve previously shared various ways to earn on Pinterest, from pinning affiliate links to driving traffic to your website. However, many of these methods take time to yield results.
If you need immediate income, consider becoming a Pinterest Virtual Assistant (VA). This side business can potentially turn into a full-time income within just a few months.
A Virtual Assistant provides online services to bloggers and small businesses. Since all the work is done online, you can do it from anywhere, and the hours are usually flexible. VAs offer a range of services like email management, blog management, editing, proofreading, bookkeeping, and social media management. But today, let’s focus on being a Pinterest VA.
As a Pinterest VA, you’ll help blogs and businesses improve their Pinterest presence. Your tasks might include setting up business accounts, creating pin designs, scheduling pins on Tailwind, researching and applying to group boards, and using analytics to report back to clients. You can offer a variety of services or a comprehensive monthly management package.
Why become a Pinterest VA? The job is flexible, allowing you to choose your hours and clients. It’s a perfect job for stay-at-home parents or anyone needing extra cash. You can start making money quickly, unlike blogging, which can take a while to generate consistent income.
Most bloggers and small businesses are aware of the traffic Pinterest can bring. For instance, I quadrupled my blog traffic by using Pinterest effectively. Etsy sellers, T-shirt designers, and other small businesses can also benefit from increased Pinterest traffic. Many business owners either don’t know how to use Pinterest effectively or don’t have the time, making them ideal clients for a Pinterest VA.
How much can you make as a Pinterest VA? Many start as a part-time side hustle with potential earnings of $500-$1,000+ per month for just a few hours of work per week. The average hourly rate is around $20-$50, with monthly packages starting at $250. With a few clients, you can build a healthy income.
To find Pinterest VA jobs, start with Facebook groups related to blogging, entrepreneurship, and online business. Also, consider reaching out to local businesses and offering your services on freelancer marketplaces like Fiverr. The course “Become a Pinterest VA TODAY!” offers modules on finding and pitching clients and even interviewing.
