This is the actual toolkit I run my own Pinterest on. Some of these make me money. Some are free and earn me nothing. I have said which. No passive-income fantasy, no tool I do not use. If you want to make money on Pinterest without the hype, start here. (Disclosure: some links here are affiliate links. If you buy through one I may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. I only list tools I actually use. The free ones earn me nothing and I have flagged them.)
