As a home based business and travel bloggers, we do blog on a variety of topics; home business training, email marketing, lead generation, branding, winning mind-set, on one site and travel related content on another etc. But I know that not everyone can do 1 blogs per week or even produce such varied content. So my advice is you need to zone in on a niche.

That will help reduce overwhelm and avoid burnout for you, and you will start to produce much better quality content! In my case Pinterest is a topic that I found had a gap in the Internet marketing sphere on Pinterest. The content is lacking and most pins have broken links either due to expired promos or inactive domains/websites!

My focus on Pinterest has been very good for our audience too because lots our audience: bloggers, network and affiliate marketers are looking to learn more about; How to use Pinterest as an Internet Marketer!

First let me make a bold statement: if you use Pinterest as an internet marketer correctly you will see an increase in affiliate receipts. That’s for sure. Don’t throw affiliate links on Pinterest willy nilly. Be strategic in your shares and make sure it benefits your audience and that they like it! Pinterest does allow affiliate links on your Pins. So if you create an optimized image, cross promote it, and ensure that the affiliate link is presented via a blog post, you will get targeted traffic! Every once in a while add a direct affiliate link. Make sure to cloak it and use a branded capture page!
