Hello. Obviously, I'm new to Pinterest? Can someone help me out please? Also, how do you make links look discrete? Thank!

    The best way is that link is attached to image, either you can use pin it button and go to your site and pin image from their or just upload image and then edit to add link
    It is not recommended to add link in description,, But i have seen users to add links in description when they have gone viral, but before you need to look as much legit as you can to get maximum attention, i would not add direct affiliate links, lately pinterest has been severely spammed with direct affiliate links, so you can expect very less response in this case..
    So the best shot is to direct traffic to your website, and use some kind of opt in there

    Could you use a redirect on the link from your own host/domain? Such as a subdomain redirect link. This will be available if you have a hosting company.

      Yes, that would work. Pinterest doesn't allow certain url's, such as tinyurl or anything that seems to be an affiliate link. But linking to your own website is fine.

        but still i have seen since there is massive spamming of affiliate links on pinterest,
        Pinterest user's tend to report links very often, so even if you are using your own hosted domain for redirect there are always chances of getting your Domains ban, so i would certainly not prefer redirect affiliate links

          That's true, so I guess it would depend on the exact link that's redirected.
