How Garrett Barry Earned $2.5K/Month on Pinterest in Health Niche

Case Study: Turning Pinterest into a $2.5K/Month Affiliate Engine

Garrett Barry started full-time affiliate marketing about five years ago and recently discovered a reliable way to drive free traffic from Pinterest. By promoting a keto meal plan with an average order value of $41, he now clocks in about $2,500 per month in passive revenue. This study breaks down each step—from product choice to pin scheduling—so you can adapt the method without spending a dime on ads.

1. Choosing the Right Offer

He tested several networks—ClickBank, JZoo, WarriorPlus—but settled on Digistore24’sUltimate Keto Meal Plan($37 sale, 85% commission). He aimed for impulse-buy products priced $30–$100 to avoid lengthy follow-up sequences.

2. Setting Up a Pinterest Business Profile

Creating a free business profile gives access to analytics and a wider reach. Garrett used a health-and-fitness cover image, a relevant profile logo found via Google Images, and added his affiliate link to the bio. Then he switched to a business account to unlock scheduling and analytics.

3. Crafting Clickable Pins in Canva

Canva remains his go-to drag-and-drop tool. He selects “Pinterest Pin,” picks a template, swaps in niche graphics and bold text. Each pin includes clear benefit statements and a teasing parenthesis like “(MUST-SEE).” He downloads 5 designs at once to keep a daily schedule full.

4. SEO-Style Keyword Research

Pinterest ranks pins by keyword. Garrett types niche phrases into the search bar and picks long-tail options (4+ words) to avoid high competition. His go-to title:health and fitness tips for women (MUST-SEE). Then he writes a short description explaining what the pin links to.

5. Link Redirection via TinyURL

He shrinks his affiliate link with TinyURL to keep the URL tidy. This also prevents Pinterest from flagging obvious affiliate URLs. The shortened link goes into the pin’s destination field.

6. Content Hub on Blogger

Instead of linking directly to the vendor page, Garrett creates a simple article on Blogger titled “Keto Diet Revealed!” and embeds a “CLICK HERE NOW” affiliate link. He then points his pin to that post—this builds a lightweight landing page that Pinterest approves more easily.

7. Growing a Targeted Following

He researches existing accounts like “Keto Diet Yum,” opens their followers list, and follows up to 50 accounts per day. Many follow back, boosting his profile views and pin engagement over time.

By combining these tactics, Garrett hit an estimated $84.60 daily revenue ($2,540 monthly). His process takes less than 10 minutes a day, costs zero ad spend, and scales easily by adding more offers.
