If you’re tired of chasing algorithms and want your content to keep working after you post it, Pinterest is your new BFF.

Unlike Instagram or TikTok, Pinterest pins show up in search results for months—sometimes years!

That means you can create a simple pin today and still get traffic (and sales!) next week, next month, or next year.

Pinterest = Passive Income Powerhouse

In this post, I’ll show you my favorite way to use Pinterest to drive passive sales of digital products using a step-by-step system that even total beginners can follow.

Step-by-Step—How I Use Pinterest to Sell Digital Products on Autopilot

1. Create a Product That Solves a Searchable Problem

Pinterest users are searchers, not scrollers.
So your product (and pin) should answer a “how do I…” type question.

Examples:

• “How to plan content fast” → sell your content planner
• “How to grow on IG without showing my face” → sell your caption swipe file

Pro tip: Use Pinterest’s search bar to see what people are already looking for.

2. Design a Simple, Search-Optimized Pin

Use Canva to create a clean, vertical pin (1000×1500 or 1080×1920).

Include:

• A keyword-rich title (“Content Planning Checklist for Busy Creators”)
• A mockup or preview of your product
• A strong CTA (“Click to download”)
• Your brand colors + website URL

One pin per benefit = multiple traffic drivers for the same product.

3. Link Directly to Your Pagewheel Sales Page

Skip the blog post and link right to your offer!
With Pagewheel, your sales page, checkout, and delivery are all in one place—no tech setup required.

✨ Bonus: Add a “freebie first” pin as well, then upsell the product from your Pagewheel thank-you page.

4. Batch Create 5–10 Pins Per Product

Each pin can highlight:

• A different benefit
• A different color scheme
• A quote, stat, or testimonial
• A step from your product

This helps you test what works—and gives you weeks of evergreen promo from one product.

5. Schedule and Loop with a Pinterest Tool

Use Tailwind or Pinterest’s native scheduler to post 1–2 pins per day.
Loop older pins after 30+ days to keep the traffic flowing.

Hot tip: Start with your highest-converting product and go deep, not wide.

Pinterest Can Sell for You (If You Set It Up Right)

You don’t need a giant audience or new content every day to make passive sales. You just need:

1. A clear product
2. A search-based pin
3. A smart sales page (hello, Pagewheel)
4. And a rinse-and-repeat system (Pinterest Powerplays shows you how to use AI to stay ahead of the competition!)

✨ Follow the steps above, and your Pinterest traffic could turn into passive sales on autopilot.
