Last month December 2024 was my first $100k profit month with TikTok affiliate.
That came from commission + brand rewards.
But it wouldn’t have been possible if I didn’t work on my mindset and journal daily.
Your mind is what makes you rich.
Pinterest has 480 million monthly users, the audience is 85% female with household income above $75k, and 87% of them have literally bought something from content they saw on the platform
And every marketer has completely written it off because they think it's a mood board app. Which makes it possibly the most underpriced distribution channel on the internet right now…
Most people have no idea what's happening on Pinterest right now. It's going through the exact same phase TikTok went through in 2020. Shopping features just went live. Shopify integration is active. AI is matching users to purchasable products automatically. But because every brand and agency is fighting over TikTok and Instagram, Pinterest has basically zero competition for organic eyeballs
Organic CPM equivalent on Pinterest right now is roughly $0.12
For comparison. TikTok organic is running $2-4. Instagram organic $6-12. Facebook paid $40-60+ in most verticals
You're getting 50-400x more reach per piece of content on Pinterest. With a higher income audience. And the content takes 15 minutes to make in Canva
But the thing that makes Pinterest actually stupid compared to everything else is content lifespan
Twitter content dies in 18 minutes. Instagram maybe 48 hours. TikTok 3-7 days on a good run
Pinterest content drives traffic for 4-6 months. Some pins still pull clicks after 2 years
Every piece you post is a compounding asset instead of disposable content. A slideshow you make today in Canva can drive traffic for the next year without you ever touching it again. I know someone running a home decor affiliate account making about $7k/month who hasn't posted new content in 4 months. Old pins just keep working. That's physically impossible on any other platform
The demographics are ridiculous for selling stuff too. Pinterest users go there to DISCOVER and PLAN PURCHASES. Not scroll mindlessly. Not argue with strangers. Highest purchase-intent commercial audience on any social platform and nobody is competing for it
Content that prints on Pinterest is dead simple. Aesthetic slideshows with 5-7 images and text overlay. "Best [product] for [specific use case]" roundup pins that get saved to boards by thousands of people planning purchases. Before/after transformations. The Pinterest audience is obsessed with transformation content. Home renovations, skincare results, closet organization, fitness progress
Some mf I follow built 6 Pinterest accounts in the home decor niche and does $30k+/month in affiliate revenue. Total effort is maybe 10 hours a month of making slideshows
(Works for men's niches too btw, just way less competition in women's verticals because all the "alpha male marketing bros" refuse to touch Pinterest. Their loss)
The same playbook that works on TikTok Shop works even better here. Faceless accounts, high volume native content, affiliate structures. Competition is nonexistent and the content compounds forever instead of dying in a week. We're already testing this as a secondary channel for some of our TT Shop brands and the early numbers are kind of absurd for the effort involved
The window is probably 12-18 months before everyone figures this out. Same window TikTok had in 2020-2021 before brands flooded in. Attention moves somewhere new, early movers build distribution cheap, masses arrive, costs go up, and the early movers have infrastructure everyone else is scrambling to build
I'll probably regret pointing this out because the whole advantage is that nobody's paying attention yet
Run the numbers
getting everything u “think” u want is dangerous
3 months ago i finished university
i stepped into the life id been dreaming abt for the past 3 years
everything id been wanting
airbnb hopping w friends
stupid expensive dinners
last min flights
but in the midst of all of it i felt like i lost myself
i stopped journaling
i stopped working out
i ate like shit
i stopped creating
i stopped learning
i started abusing more substances
n there’s no nice way to say this but i was becoming someone i didn’t want to be
but why?
i’m living the exact life i wanted 3 years ago
so everything should be perfect?
bc from an outsiders perspective it probably looks that way
but the other day i felt the need to pick up a book i read a while back
not sure where the feeling came from but it just came
like an inner voice telling me to reread this thing
picked it up, read for 30 min n put it back down
no life altering moment sorry guys
but a few days later we went out
got a little too lit
spent too much $$$
abused substances
n i hated every second of it
woke up the nxt morning brain fogged out of my mind
looked in the mirror n couldn’t recognize the person staring back
went abt the day clouded n it hit me that this life i was living was pulling me away from the reason i chased it in the first place
this morning i decided to pick that book up again
not sure why or how it crossed my mind to but it did
n what i read over the nxt few pages started to make a lot of sense
“in the absence of that which u are not, that which u are, is not”
i had experienced a version of this
i had been so caught up in becoming the person i thought i wanted to be that i forgot abt the person i am meant to be
it was never to abuse my body
it was never to stop learning
it was never to stop creating
but i had to experience that to understand exactly what i am not n what i shouldn’t be
n if I didn’t lose myself now I would have lost myself later
i’m not saying i suddenly have the answers
but i’m aware that this was happening bc of my own actions
n if my own actions created this then i’m the one who can turn it around
n part of that is accountability w myself which is why i’m writing this
if ur curious the book is called conversations w God
u can give it a read if u like
When life feels heavy, sit down for a moment and remember the hell you crawled out of. The demons you fought back then make today’s problems feel insignificant.
after a long 3am talk w my boys (all millionaires) we’ve concluded ai isn’t genderless
it’s a woman
only a female entity could be confidently wrong at scale in nanoseconds
Don’t fall for the money Twitter psyop.
Get the fuck out of your room and go lifemaxx.
I’d argued that you’ll actually make more money doing that than being in fucking loser monk mode.
You vibrate good energy into the world and it comes back to you.
