Below is the exact method he used to achieve this.
He applied this method and earned around $30 per day (with approximately 3,000 visits per day to his blog), only counting traffic from the United States. The current traffic is from his Pinterest account.
Since today is March 1st and the day hasn’t ended yet, you can see the chart showing half the usual traffic.
He has maintained this traffic for over 4 years now.
The screenshot below depicts his current traffic, although it’s only half, it has been sustained for over 4 years.

All traffic comes from his main Pinterest account.
You can see that the internal traffic within Pinterest is about 300k views per month, but the external traffic is only around 30k per month (because he averages about 1k traffic per day).
All of this traffic is from Pinterest.

Here is what he did:
He went to Pinterest and used the tool sortpin.com to find the pins with the highest number of saves (not repins), the more saves, the better.
Why are pins with many saves the best?
It means that the original article has received both direct shares and re-pins.
This implies that the article is liked by many people.

Prioritize selecting niches with high search volume potential
His niche focuses on keywords like “how to” (Information).
Because it has the largest traffic volume, but its drawback is poor conversion rates.
That’s why despite having about 3,000 visitors per day, he earns only $30β50.
This is because the traffic to the landing page requires an additional step of sharing, connecting, and building credibility and trust with potential customers. (The image below categorizes keywords into clear SEMrush-studied categories, comprising 4 types of keywords)

He would modify the images using Canva:
- The images would be different from the original but still have similar content (Re-design).
- He used keywords and titles based on the pins he was redesigning.
Of course, if you are too busy to do this, you can skip editing the images. You can reuse images found on Pinterest, but the effectiveness might not be high as sometimes accounts are deleted due to content violations.
He reused the titles and keywords of the pins he found, then he posted them on Pinterest.
So, by now, you know how to do it, right?
You use the keywords and titles of the found Pin, only differing in the image content (re-design using Canva).

However, please note that:
This part is important: You use Pretty Link to shorten the link pointing back to the website afterward.

And replace the link of your blog post with the shortened link you created. Then publish.

He uses Pretty Link for several reasons:
It’s a WordPress plugin, and he frequently uses WordPress for his websites, making it convenient for him to shorten links.
It allows him to easily shorten links and provides a dashboard to track link traffic daily.
This means that when visitors click on his posts, they are still directed to the original author’s website. However, after a period, when Pinterest consistently allocates traffic to his posts and it reaches a sufficient level, he can redirect those links to his own blog.
His blog shares similar content within the same niche.
Once redirected, he can:
- Display advertisements around his blog.
- Sell his products.
- Include affiliate marketing links.
With traffic, he can monetize his blog effectively.
He also provides statistics for some links he receives traffic from Pinterest, which can be edited and redirected to his blog posts in a similar manner.

You might wonder why not just edit the direct link on a Pinterest post, right?
Instead, why use a pretty link for redirection?

Because every time you edit a post on Pinterest, you lose the interaction of that post.
- The post will reset to zero.
- That’s Pinterest’s mechanism.
Then you repeat that process.
For a new account, you can only post 5 links per day, gradually increasing to under 20 posts per day after a month.
Absolutely no more than 30 posts per day.
Even for long-standing accounts. Because from his shared experience, he said the account would be locked.
Now, what about POD (Print On Demand) products? Of course, they are buyer keywords, so they have fewer searches, meaning fewer saves (reposts and direct shares) compared to how-to keywords (knowledge-based).
So you will see that product-type posts will have fewer saves than sharing-type posts.
Saves is king on pinterest

So the most important thing is still the saves.
You should focus on posts that have a high number of saves, whether they’re knowledge-based or product-based posts.
Always prioritize those saves.
