Why become a Pinterest virtual assistant?

Well, yes. But Pinterest offers much more than just a place to find a last minute cupcake recipe.
Did you know that 93% of Pinterest users reported that they’ve used the website to plan for a future purchase? That’s great news for businesses and bloggers who are selling good or services!

Victoria is an alumni of Become a Pinterest VA. She earned her first paycheck within two months of completeing the course and now she earns an average of $5,000+ per month as a Pinterest virtual assistant.
What does a Pinterest Virtual Assistant do?
As a Pinterest Virtual Assistant (Pinterest VA for short), you can help build a client’s reach on Pinterest and maintain their presence on the social media platform.
That’s the simplest definition of being a Pinterest VA. Here’s a quick breakdown of some of the tasks you’ll be handling as a Pinterest VA:
1. Create awesome pins
You know how when you’re scrolling on Pinterest and a pin catches your eye? Whether it’s a beautiful image or a title that makes you want to click to read more – there’s something special about the pin that captured your attention.
That’s what creating a click-worthy pin is all about! A good pin has either:
- A great image that makes you want to click through to find out more.
- Or it contains intriguing text that makes you want to click through and read more.
Each pin on Pinterest leads to a website or sales page. You’ll be creating pins to help drive traffic to your client’s online business.
Still confused? I can appreciate if this sounds a little confusing right now. Here’s another way to think about it. Let’s say your client runs a travel blog and they publish one new blog post per week. The best way to help your client get traffic to their new blog posts is to create multiple pins for each post.
This means you’ll want to create at least 3 different pins for each new blog post. Then you can share these pins on your client’s Pinterest account. This can help grow your client’s traffic like crazy!
If the blog post is called “10 ways to visit New York City on a budget”, you can create a pin using this headline. You can also create 2 more pins with different headlines, such as “How to visit NYC on a tight budget” or “10 ways to save money when visiting New York City”.
You never know which headline is going to jump out and resonate with your client’s audience. This is why it’s so important to create a few different pins for each blog post. You’ll drive more clicks to your client’s website by following this easy strategy.
2. Write pin descriptions
Did you know that Pinterest is more of a search engine than a social media platform?
As a Pinterest VA, you’ll write a pin description for every pin that you share on your client’s Pinterest account. This will let other users on Pinterest know what your pin is about.
It’s also good to include relevant keywords in your pin’s description. This will help your client’s pins show up in the search results on Pinterest.
3. Use a tool to schedule pins
The great thing about Pinterest is that you don’t have to be on the platform all the time pinning for your clients.
Instead you can use a handy tool, such as Tailwind to schedule your client’s pins so they’ll be shared to Pinterest even when you’re not logged in. This means you only need to spend a few hours each week (depending on how many clients you have) scheduling pins in Tailwind.
This is known as task batching, and it’s a great way to save time and become an efficient Pinterest VA.
What skills do you need to become a Pinterest virtual assistant?
The good news is that you don’t need to have a background in graphic design in order to create beautiful pins to share on Pinterest. You also don’t need a degree to become a virtual assistant.
You can easily learn how to make awesome pins on a free websites like Canva or PicMonkey. This is how I started creating pins for my own online business.
Here’s a good way to help you create click-worthy pins:
- Check to see what pins are already ranking well on Pinterest.
- What images are these pins using?
- What colors are being used on these pins? Warm colors? Cool colors?
- What fonts are being used on these pins? One type of font? Multiple fonts?
- What are the pin descriptions? What keywords are these pins using in their descriptions?
By just paying attention to these few elements, this can help you create better pins for your clients. This helped me get more traffic to my website.
Dama is an alumni of Become a Pinterest VA. She earned her first paycheck as a Pinterest virtual assistant in less than a week after finishing the program. Now she earns an average of $1,050 per month as a Pinterest VA.

Pinterest Virtual Assistant success story
I was impressed by Erica’s story, who landed her first Pinterest client in less than 30 days after starting Kristen’s course. The impressive part is that she landed this client while still working full-time and parenting two young boys!
Erica found the services module in the course, Become a Pinterest VA, the most helpful. This is because she was able to master the skills she needed that would let her offer high-paying services to her clients.
Erica didn’t have a background in design. She was also surprised to learn that you didn’t need to be super good with technology in order to be a successful Pinterest VA. She did find the tech training in the course immensely helpful though, especially when creating pins, which she refers back to when managing her client’s Pinterest accounts.
