I recently joined an ad network which is a social influence platform called AdvertisePals. I basically use my pinterest to drive traffic to my site and earn from adsense BUT I was limited in posting to NOT make it look like a spam. With adsense my earnings were also very low - I was making about $10 per 1000 views with adsense. With AdvertisePals I can now make $30-70 per 1000 visits by pinning for them. Within the first 48 hours, I earned $5 from the company. I know it is not that much but if I get some of the pins viral, I will be making much more in a few weeks. So basically if you have a pinterest account with more than 3k ACTIVE followers then basically you can earn a lot.

I haven't tried your way of pinning but I can say for sure pinterest is really working and it doesn send you lots of interesting traffic to my sites.
You have to be careful with that site. I was a member for some months. However, Pinterest has updated their terms and conditions for sponsored pins. They are catching on to these types of companies. If they catch you, your account will be banned and you have missed a valuable source of free traffic to your blog.
Will let you know when my account is ban.. Usually pinterest will ban your site after a week. So far $20 on my fifth day. Did you get your account ban? Cause there is someone, who is earning $2000 every 2 months.. and he started around july and still earning much
