If you’re in the Amazon Influencer Program and you’re not on Pinterest, you’re leaving money on the table. And if you are on Pinterest but manually uploading everything, you’re burning time you don’t have. Viral Vue just changed the game with a Pinterest integration that automates nearly the entire workflow — including a revenue stream most influencers don’t even know exists yet.
Here’s the full breakdown of what Viral Vue does, how the Pinterest integration works, and whether it’s worth it for Amazon content creators.
What Is Viral Vue?
Viral Vue is a platform built specifically for Amazon Influencers. It helps you manage your storefront content, cross-post videos across platforms, track media links, and now — post to Pinterest with AI-generated pin details. It’s designed to cut out the manual steps that eat your day and replace them with automated workflows.
The Pinterest integration is their most requested feature, and after seeing what it actually does, it’s easy to understand why people were asking for it.
Cross-Posting Your Amazon Videos to Pinterest in 30 Seconds
When you upload a video to Amazon, Viral Vue adds a Pinterest button right in the upload flow. Instead of finishing your Amazon upload and then separately recreating everything for Pinterest, you click that button mid-upload and it handles the rest.
Here’s what happens automatically:
- It pulls the ASIN from the product you tagged
- It toggles on the affiliate disclaimer for compliance
- It generates a pin title (three options to choose from) and description using AI
- It adds the hashtag disclosures
- You pick a board, hit publish, and you’re done
The whole thing takes about 30 extra seconds on top of what you were already doing. You were already uploading the video — now you’re also getting a Pinterest pin out of it with almost no extra work.
And here’s the part that makes it actually useful at scale: as soon as you publish a pin, Viral Vue grabs the Pinterest content link and adds it to your media links inside the platform. So when you submit content links for brand campaigns or Creator Connections, your Pinterest links are already in there alongside your Amazon and YouTube links.
You Can Also Cross-Post Your Old Videos
If you’ve been in the Amazon Influencer Program for a while, you probably have a library of videos that never made it to Pinterest. Viral Vue’s Storefront Optimizer lets you download those old videos and cross-post them the same way — with the same AI-powered pin builder, the same ASIN tagging, and built-in tracking so you don’t accidentally repost the same video twice.
That’s a backlog of content that could be generating Pinterest traffic right now. Most influencers have dozens of videos sitting on Amazon and nowhere else.
The Income Stream You’re Probably Not Using: Sponsored Products for Creators
This is the part that caught my attention. Inside Amazon’s Creator Connections, there’s a program called Sponsored Products for Creators that most influencers haven’t tapped into — because finding the right products and creating pins for them was too manual to make sense.
Here’s how it’s different from your regular affiliate commissions: instead of earning when someone buys something, you earn when someone clicks. These are called earnings per click (EPC), and some products are paying $2.00 to $2.50 per click or more. You need gold status or above in the Amazon Influencer Program to access this.
The problem has always been: Amazon recommends up to 5,000 campaigns daily. Nobody has time to scroll through 5,000 products and figure out which ones have the best EPC, have budget remaining, and are actually on sale or discounted enough to get clicks.
Viral Vue solves this. Their product view loads hundreds of campaigns at a time, sorts them by EPC from highest to lowest, and shows you which ones have deals happening — like 39% off — so you can filter quickly for the products most likely to generate clicks. Then, directly from that view, you click a Canva button and the whole pin-creation workflow kicks off.
How the Canva + Pinterest Workflow Works
Amazon has a direct integration with Canva called Amazon Creator. Once you link your accounts, you can paste in an ASIN and pull the product image directly into a Canva template. Viral Vue connects this to their Pinterest assistant so the entire flow — find product, design pin, write copy, publish — happens in one continuous workflow.
You can use your own saved templates or describe what you want and let Canva’s AI generate a design. Either way, once the design is ready, you switch to the Pinterest tab inside Canva, and Viral Vue’s AI pin builder generates the title, description, and hashtags. You select a board, generate a deep link (more on that below), and publish.
The whole thing is designed to be repeatable. Once you have a template set up, you’re basically: find product → click Canva → paste ASIN → add image → suggest pin details → publish. It becomes a rhythm.
The Deep Linking Feature (URL View)
One of Viral Vue’s features is a deep linking service called URL View, and it’s now Pinterest-compatible. This matters because when someone clicks your Pinterest pin, a standard link opens in a browser. A deep link opens directly in the Amazon shopping app.
People who are already in the Amazon app convert at higher rates. Getting them out of Pinterest and into the app — not a browser — is a meaningful difference for affiliate conversions. Very few deep linking services are Pinterest-compatible, and this is one of them.
For Sponsored Products for Creators specifically, this matters even more: the deep link that Viral Vue generates isn’t just any link, it’s the specific associate link tied to that campaign. If you use a different link, you may not get credit for the EPC. Viral Vue pulls the right link automatically when you click through their workflow.
Who Is Viral Vue For?
This tool makes the most sense if you’re actively creating content for the Amazon Influencer Program and you want to extend that content’s reach without doubling your workload. If you’re already uploading videos to Amazon, adding Pinterest takes 30 seconds per video. That’s a genuinely easy yes.
The Sponsored Products for Creators angle is where it gets interesting as a side hustle. Pay-per-click income doesn’t require a sale to close — it just requires a click. If you can put the right products in front of the right audience on Pinterest, you’re earning on traffic, not just conversions. Combined with affiliate commissions on any resulting sales, you’re stacking two income streams from the same pin.
To access Sponsored Products for Creators, you need gold status in the Amazon Influencer Program. If you’re not there yet, the cross-posting and pin-building features still work for your standard affiliate content.
What You Need to Get Started
- An Amazon Influencer Program account (gold status or above for Sponsored Products for Creators)
- A Pinterest business account linked to your Amazon storefront
- A Canva account with the Amazon Creator app connected
- A Viral Vue pro account
Setup is straightforward — link your accounts, add your Canva templates, and the workflows start making sense fast. Viral Vue has a walkthrough that covers the account linking steps.
If you’re building income streams around content you’re already creating, this is worth a close look. The Pinterest integration alone — automating cross-posts you’d otherwise skip — adds distribution you’re currently leaving behind.
