I have been telling my clients over and over that it’s time to put out your holiday content on Pinterest, so I figured I better listen to my own advice and put out my work from home gift guide!
Yes, I understand that this is outside the norm of my typical blog posts, but I’m going to share something with you that might be a surprise–I think every business owner should put out a gift guide.
Why? Because not only is it a chance to make a little bit of affiliate income, but it’s a chance to create a blog post, which then get’s found on Pinterest, which creates an opportunity for you to be put infront of a new audience, which gives you an opportunity to grow your email list, to grow your social media following, and potentially find new clients/leads/sales.
This post contains affiliate links, which means that I make a small commission at no additional cost to you if you make a purchase. I appreciate your support, feel free to reach out with any questions.
How To Make A Gift Guide:
- Round up things that make sense for you and your niche. If you’re a blogger, create a gift guide for your blog niche. If you’re a photographer, create a gift guide for photographers. If you’re a small shop owner, make a gift guide and include items from small shops (include yours!) or create a gift guide for small shop owners with tools you use, self care, etc.
- Create a Pinterest sized graphic. I personally love and use Canva for all of my graphics, and love it. Especially because you can screenshot the product you want to use and use the background eraser. That’s a Canva Pro feature, and you can try Canva Pro out here free for 30 days!
- Create a simple blog post with the image, a list of your products, and use affiliate links to make a couple of bucks. You can join the Amazon affiliate program, or if you need a referral for LikeToKnow.it feel free to send me an email and I’ll refer you! Make sure that you are following FTC guidelines and disclose that you are using affiliate links in your post.
- Make sure you have a good CTA where people can learn more about you, what you do, and how they can follow you!
- Post it on social media & Pinterest.
That’s it! It takes mayyyybeee an hour if you’ve never done it before, but it gives you a chance to reach other people in your niche, new customers, and give your current followers the opportunity to support you in a way that maybe they couldn’t before.
