Hey, welcome back. In this video, I want to talk to you about the Penner spam method, we're going to go over a few different ways to market on Pinterest. And as you can probably imagine, this is not the way I'm recommending that you do it, I'm just gonna let you know about this, you can take this information and do what you will with it. Just fair warning, if you use this method, you most likely will end up getting your account shut down. And you have to go through the whole process of getting invited to Pinterest on another account, another email, they could even fly your IP. And I've seen this happen in Facebook, I've seen this happen on other social media.
So I'm really more or less telling you this method more as a what not to do. And so you can watch out and see when other people are doing it as well. And you can always report those people if they're extremely obnoxious and you just don't like them. So if you use this method, just know you may end up getting your account banned. It's probably not going to help you build and your relationships. You may make a few sales but The end of the day, you know, it's great to make sales.
But what we're really after is repeat customers. So the first thing you do is you acquire your account. And then Pinterest accounts are invite only. So if you did get your account banned, like I said, you'd have to read, you have to redo it all. Okay? And then second step, you generate invites to create new accounts.
Okay, so generate lots of invites, and then just auto confirm accounts. Okay? So instead of having to individually confirm each person you've invited, you can just set it up to auto confirm everyone you invite. And then you implement auto following based on keywords I say, so you can create a human looking account. So then you'd post 10s of product images with affiliate links built in by the hundreds, if not thousands per day, okay. There's people that just sit around and do this.
Do you ever get these kinds of offers on Twitter or Facebook or in your email, you know exactly what I'm talking about. And you probably hate them I know I do. The note the most popular bot does this by searching Amazon RSS feeds by keyword. Okay, so you did an mp3 player and you'll be creating pins of iPods and zooms in no time. Okay? So remember, this is not something I'm recommending you do.
It's more of a don't do this type of stuff. Okay? Don't. And in fact, I've seen several Twitter accounts get banned. Haven't seen this yet with Pinterest, because it's kind of a new thing. But with Twitter, if you send someone directly to an affiliate link, typically, Twitter will go ahead and ban your account for you.
Okay. And without explanation, most of the social media networks have not so great customer service. So it's really hard to get an answer as to why your account was banned. Somebody could report you as a spammer or they could have their automated system figure it out. Either way, these aren't the best methods to use. Okay.
And then you're just repost the most popular pins, okay, and then there's a bot that simply looks at what's been most popular on Pinterest, and read pins that in your account inserting your affiliate link, and then you just keep repeating this and definitely Okay, so I'm not giving I'm not giving any links to these bots or any of this stuff. Um, if you're, you know, kind of spam savvy, then you probably already know where to go. If you don't really know, then I'll tell you right now, just don't even don't even go this route. Okay, there was a time when this could be very profitable. There was a time when email you know, spam rules weren't so. so strict, but the social media networks are they had built in spam filters.
It doesn't work anymore. If you if you get tempted to do this type of stuff. Then just remember that with Pinterest, you got to get your account, read, you have to get re invited. You got to start all over from scratch. So it's better just to build quality content, put up cool pictures, build a following and go The techniques that we're going to talk about in the rest of this course. And then you're actually going to have, you know, followers that like and trust you and buy from you repeatedly, and you kind of build yourself a little money machine and you do it all legit.
Okay. So in the next video, if you haven't guessed already, we're going to talk about some legitimate marketing techniques that you can use in art, all this that aren't spammy, that are actually going to help you start ranking and getting followers and making money on Pinterest.
