Instagram influencer jailed for trafficking and slavery

When two young Brazilian women were reported missing in September 2022, their families and the FBI launched a desperate search across the US to find them. All they knew was that they were living with wellness influencer Kat Torres.

Torres has now been sentenced to eight years in prison for the human trafficking and slavery of one of those women. The BBC World Service has also been told that charges have been filed against her in relation to a second woman.

How did the former model who partied with Leonardo DiCaprio and graced the cover of international magazines come to groom her followers and lure them into sexual exploitation?

How earn money on Pinterest

How earn money on Pinterest

In this blog post I share 9 different ideas that Pinterest offers in several ways for users to monetize their activities or content on the platform:

1. Pinterest Ads (Promoted Pins):

Businesses can create promoted pins to reach a larger audience and drive traffic to their websites or products. Users can earn money by promoting products or services through these ads.

2. Affiliate Marketing:

Users can join affiliate marketing programs and promote products or services through their Pinterest boards. When someone makes a purchase through their affiliate link, they earn a commission.

3. Sponsored Content:

Brands may partner with Pinterest users who have a large following or high engagement to create sponsored content. This can include creating pins featuring the brand's products or services in exchange for payment.

4. Selling Products or Services:

Users can create pins linking to their own products or services, such as handmade crafts, digital products, or consulting services. When someone makes a purchase through these pins, the user earns money.

5. Pinterest Shop:

Pinterest has its own shopping feature where users can discover and purchase products directly on the platform. Sellers can list their products in the Pinterest Shop to reach a wider audience and generate sales.

6. Consulting or Coaching Services: Users with expertise in a particular niche can offer consulting or coaching services related to their niche. They can promote these services through their Pinterest profile and boards.

7. Selling Printables or Digital Products:

Users can create and sell digital products such as printables, templates, e-books, or online courses. They can promote these products through their Pinterest boards and drive traffic to their sales pages.

8. Brand Partnerships:

Influential Pinterest users may collaborate with brands on long-term partnerships or sponsored campaigns. This can involve creating content, hosting giveaways, or attending events on behalf of the brand in exchange for payment or free products.

9. Pinterest Affiliate Program: Pinterest has its own affiliate program where users can earn money by referring new advertisers or creators to the platform. When someone signs up through their referral link and meets certain criteria, the user earns a commission.

Above are few of the main ways from where you can earn money on Pinterest, but there may be other opportunities depending on individual circumstances and interests.

Taylor Swift's new album

Taylor Swift's new album, The Tortured Poets Society, has broken the record for Spotify's most-streamed in a single day, the platform said.

The pop sensation also became the most-streamed artist in a single day.

Her hotly anticipated album was released on Friday, sending Swifties around the world into a frenzy.

It contains 31 tracks in which the megastar lays bare her heartbreak and appears to direct anger at former partners.

The first 16 tracks dropped as scheduled at 5am UK time, but just a few hours later, an additional 15 tracks were released, giving her fans plenty to dive into - as well as sending music journalists into a tailspin.

Swift said the album was an anthology of new works reflecting "events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time - one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure".
