Pinterest For Affiliate Marketers

I am a writing a thesis on Pinterest and affiliate marketing as a part of my business administration studies of which conducting a research is a part of. I have created a short survey of less than 30 multiple choice questions.

Filling the survey takes only about 5 minutes. You can answer the survey even if you do not use Pinterest, the survey will just be slightly shorter in that case.

You can participate to the survey here: https://www.webropolsurveys.com/Answer/SurveyParticipation.aspx?SDID=Fin1094730&SID=8d8d1bca-95cb-4dd9-b849-07cc8b988c57&dy=1420228009

I would again like to remind this is a school project. I do not gain financial benefit from this.

All answers are anonymous. I will share the results as a thank you with everyone who leaves their email address at the end of the survey (NOT required).

If you have questions, ask them below. Thank you in advance!

 

Here are some tips on how to use this social platform for affiliate marketers:
- create a product that incentivizes signup (building a strong email list is imperative for every affiliate marketer. Your goal is to present yourself and your product in a thoughtful and professional manner that stands out among something beautiful);
- focus on original content (take photos or create infographics. Any timeyou have relatively bland information to deliver, find a way to spice it up with bold original content. Since Pinterest is a predominantly visual platform, eye-catching content is absolutely key);
- follow the trends (it would be advisable to use current events that interest demographic that use Pinterest);
- combine tactics (consider incorporating trending topics into your contests, include a beautiful peace of original rich content to make the contest eye catching);
- Pinterest and affiliate link (place a link to a landing page on your site , which is the safest form of link allowed by Pinterest).

 

I will answer the survey, let us know your discoveries
