Now what I find even more impressive is what this ad seems to have done for my profile and account as a whole when I started this 2 days ago if you see by reading under Pinterest heading my avg daily viewers were at 68 (WHAT A JUMP)
So I got it into my head earlier today to play on Pinterest not a small feat I tell ya! I am still learning this land of pins and though I know next to nothing about it I have 1.8k monthly viewers and 115 monthly engaged on my business account. Not bad not great like some but cool nonetheless. Now I also noticed looking at my pinterest analytics that my average daily viewers are at 68 not a lot but it is up over 54% from last month so must be doing something right. Plus on my main mmo site I do get some traffic from pinterest.
Pinterest Ads
So I have this new amazon site I have been working on and I have already been pinning from it the past 2 weeks. Curiosity got the best of me while I was looking at how these visual ads worked. Soooo I decided what the heck I know nothing!! BUT I am going to test the waters and jump right in.
Results After Only 10 Hours!
I am happy to report after only 10 hours and also keep in mind I literally was only experimenting. I threw an ad up, no fancy canva image first or anything just a plain item pin from my site. I added all of 4 keywords, and I gave it a lifetime budget of 30 dollars. Not much right? I was not expecting too much and of course next time after some more research into how all this works my next ad will be better,
Ok The Results Thus Far For Real :)
Not to many clicks but over thousand impressions - that equates to brand awareness
So far my spend for those impressions and clicks has been just under 5 dollars
Will be interesting to see how this plays out. I did check google analytics and those 9 clicks are accurate so far.

Thanks for sharing your experiences with Pinterest, Cathy. I am very close to jumping in myself. I'll be interested in your updates for sure.

That's awesome I was thinking of doing some of that because I was told Pinterest is a great source for brands and ROI is supposedly pretty decent as well. Can wait to hear the follow up to this.
Some times the best results can come from just playing around at the very least we can increase our skill set.
You will be pleased with how it is going, Cathy best wishes for a successful outcome.
Keep us updated.

Very useful information, there is such a lot to be done just to get the clicks and this sounds like your mapping out a plan. Best wishes.
