Pinning From Communities You're Part Of

🔥

If you're part of Skool communities that offer affiliate payouts, Pinterest can quietly become one of your best traffic sources.

Instead of just “sharing links,” you’re building long-term, searchable assets that can generate clicks - and commissions - for months.

Here’s exactly how to do it.

Step 1: Find Your Affiliate Link Inside Skool

All Skool communities offer an invite members link...

If they pay commissions and if you're a member of the community you will automatically be associated with the new members that join through your link and entitled to commissions.

When you click the INVITE MEMBERS link, you’ll see your unique referral link.

Copy that link. You will notice there is a ?xxxxxxxxxxxxx (where the x's are a long list of numbers) That is your referral code.

👉 This is the link that tracks your commission.

Step 2: Append the Affiliate Link to a Specific Post (Optional but Powerful)

Instead of sending people to the general homepage, you can link directly to:

• A specific Skool lesson

• A sales page inside the community

• An event replay

• A free training post

To do this:

Open the specific Skool post you want to promote.

Copy that full URL.

ADD YOUR AFFILIATE CODE TO THE END OF THE URL

Some Skool affiliate links automatically redirect no matter where you send traffic. Others require you to add your referral parameter.

If your affiliate link looks like this:

https://www.skool.com/community-name?XXXXXXXXXXXX

Then you can append it like this:

https://www.skool.com/community-name/specific-post-ur?XXXXXXXXXXXX

If you’re unsure, test it in a private browser to confirm your referral still tracks.

Make sure you have the referral code added to the url before you pin to Pinterest.

Step 3: Use the Pinterest Pin Extension

Install the Pinterest browser extension if you haven’t already.

Once installed:

Open the Skool post (with your affiliate link appended).

Click the Pinterest extension button.

Select the image you want to use (or upload your custom pin image).

Choose your relevant board.

Publish.

That’s it.

Pinterest now has a direct link to your tracked affiliate URL.

Pro Tip: Use Your Own Designed Pin (Best Practice) especially if pinning your own content

Skool pages aren’t optimized for Pinterest visuals - but we are hoping more of you will understand this amazing process and start pinning from communities and creating pins for your own posts - why use a gif when you could add a pin and get traffic from not just posts but your comments too!

For better results:

• Design a 1000x1500 vertical pin

• Make the headline outcome-driven

• Use strong keywords in your description

• Link directly to your affiliate URL

This gives you control over click-through rates and conversions.

Why This Works

Pinterest is a search engine.

That means:

• Your pin can rank

• It can bring traffic long after posting

• It compounds over time
