GET PAID TO PIN

Make money on Pinterest with Picsart Earn

Here is the honest version: Pinterest has no creator fund that pays you to post. You make money on Pinterest by turning saves and outbound clicks into affiliate, product or sponsored revenue - and, from day one, by getting paid through Picsart Earn for the pins you create and publish. Design the pins in Picsart, earn on what they do, no established board required.

No creator fund? You still get paid

Pinterest will not cut you a cheque for pinning. Earn will - on the pins you publish from your very first one.

  • Open from pin one

    There is no reach or save threshold to clear. The Earn opportunity board is live the moment you join, long before a board builds a following.

  • Measured by the pin, not the profile

    Payouts follow verified engagement on the content you publish, so a strong pin from a tiny account still counts.

  • Boards stay in your name

    You publish to your own profile and keep the audience. A campaign adds income without renting out your account.

THE EARN PLAYBOOK

How to make money on Pinterest with Picsart Earn

Four steps between an empty board and a paid pin. What you earn depends on eligibility, reach, the offer, and how good the pin is.

How to

Match a brief to a board you'd actually keep

Open the Earn dashboard, scan the creative prompts, and pick one that would sit naturally on a board you already pin to.

START EARNING EARLY

Get paid while your boards are still growing

On Pinterest, reach compounds slowly - a pin can sit for weeks before saves snowball, and a profile worth sending traffic to takes months to build. Earn does not make you wait for either. You pick a brief, make the pin, publish it, and get paid on how it performs - so the months you would normally spend pinning for free become months you spend pinning for income, while your own saves and outbound clicks build in parallel.
  • No save or follower threshold
  • Affiliate and shop links keep running
  • Slow-burn pins earn in the meantime
CREATE FOR THE CLICK

A pin lives or dies on the thumbnail

Every route to make money off Pinterest - affiliate links, shoppable product pins, sponsored collaborations - rests on one image doing its job in the feed. A pin is a thumbnail first: if the crop, the hook and the colour do not earn the save, nothing downstream gets the click. That part is entirely in your hands. Design a tall, legible, scroll-stopping pin in Picsart, and whether you earn from Pinterest through affiliate traffic or through an Earn campaign, the stronger pin is the one that pays.
  • Affiliate, shoppable and sponsored pins
  • Crops, hooks and 2:3 sizing you control
  • Verified engagement in, payout out

Pinterest money questions, answered

Straight answers, no overnight-riches promises.

  • Yes - just not by posting alone. Pinterest has no pay-per-view fund, so income comes from the saves and clicks your pins send to affiliate links, shoppable pins or your own products, plus performance campaigns like Picsart Earn that pay for the pins you publish.
