How to Make Money Online This Holiday Season with Pinterest & Affiliate Marketing

Hey there, family-focused entrepreneurs! Are you ready to turn this holiday 🎄season into a profit party without sacrificing time with your loved ones? If the thought of hustling endlessly while juggling family life makes you want to hide under the blanket, I’ve got you.

In this blog (and the podcast episode embedded below), I’m breaking down exactly how to make money online this season using Pinterest and affiliate marketing, the platforms and strategies that actually work, even when Facebook and other channels feel like quicksand.

Why Pinterest is Your Holiday Secret Weapon

Here’s the truth: Pinterest isn’t just a pretty place for holiday DIYs and cookie recipes; it’s a search engine on steroids for traffic and sales. Unlike social media feeds that bury your content after a few hours, Pinterest pins live for months (even years!), continuing to bring people to your content.

During the holiday season, people are actively searching for gift ideas, festive inspiration, and shopping solutions. That means your affiliate links and products can get in front of the right audience without spending hours glued to your screen.

Here’s what makes Pinterest so magical:

• Long-term traffic: Pins continue working long after you post them
• Seasonal trends: Capitalize on gift guides, recipes, and holiday hacks
• Visual storytelling: Highlight your products with images that convert

Affiliate Marketing Made Simple for Busy Entrepreneurs

Let’s be real, running a family-focused business means your time is limited. That’s why affiliate marketing is perfect for you. Instead of creating your own products from scratch, you can promote trusted products your audience will love and earn a commission.

How to make it work this holiday season:

1. Choose the right affiliates: Pick products aligned with your niche and audience. Think gifts, tools, or resources your followers actually need.
2. Create holiday-specific pins: Think “Top 10 Gift Ideas” or “Holiday Must-Haves” with your affiliate links.
3. Leverage seasonal trends: Use keywords like “Christmas 2025 gifts,” “holiday self-care,” and “holiday décor” to boost visibility.
4. Repurpose & recycle: Don’t be afraid to reuse pins and posts, Pinterest loves consistency, not one-time flashes.
