Pinterest Win: Scout Pin Share
Hey there,
I wanted to share something I've been working on lately that's no stranger to my imagination as I've been dreaming about this for an eternity quietly collecting videos and pictures from my travels to beaches and or other places with my family both carefully staged captures and natural ones.
Truth be told I'm the annoying one with the camera in everyone's face or taking pictures of everyone's food anyway so I guess it all goes hand in hand with my little passion project here.
What I am talking about is a family travel brand focusing a lot on beaches because that's where my family mostly travels. And of course being from an island myself, the beach is in my blood. You can call me a beach snob, yes, I am silently judging every beach to see if its better than the ones I grew up with 🤭
Anyway, moving on, I already had the homepage built on the domain (its called Fun Shores Ahead, btw) and since there's not real rush for stats, I thought it would be just the right time to get some marination time for Spring & Summer plan rankings both for search engines and Pinterest alike.
What This Scout Pin Is Showing So Far
On January 4, I posted several scout pins at the same time, one for each board I created. Out of that group, this pin clearly started to perform better than the others.
It has reached over 800 impressions, generated around 30 pin clicks, earned multiple saves, and even produced an outbound click, though I'm not sure how that happens from a pin with no information attached to it but ok.
What I've Gathered From This Pin
In general, that scout pin results have shown me what is popular on Pinterest. I've already gained some insight for future boards and content with more clear understanding.
Before now I didn't even know what a scout pin was and I didn't really think they made much sense. After tonight's training, things are starting to become more clear about the strategy behind gathering information from scout pins.
In addition to that, I was a bit apprehensive about posting the pins because the images are not perfect.
(For reference, I did not use Image Studio to create this set of scout pins)
It just goes to show you that things don't always have to be perfect. I'm working on not being a perfectionist, lol. It took some heavy nail biting to hit the publish button but I did it. And ngl I'm picking my nails again to post it right now, lol.
For the future, I will try image studio but for now, my AI credits bank account is looking a little slim, LOL! 🤣
Anyway, all jokes aside, if you are wondering if you 'should' do something but afraid of what everyone else will say or something like that, just do it. You will be the happier person for it.
I think this about wraps it up. Have you been following along with Jay's Pinterest Strategy? How have your results been? Would love to hear it in the comments.
Have a good weekend and be safe in the winter storm if you are on the east coast like me,
Marlinda

Do this over and over, and you are going to have a solid base of traffic Marlinda. This is a "repeatable" strategy, and you are seeing it start to take shape for you here. Thanks for sharing, nice work!
Hi Marlinda, I love your Fun Shores Ahead project! You show very well that authenticity beats perfection hands down, and your pins already prove that taking action opens doors. Bravo for your courage to post despite doubts, it’s inspiring!
Hey Marlinda
Before your post I didn't even know what a scout pin was. So thanks for sharing ^_^ Cheers
Hey, Marlinda, thanks for the updates. Keep going. More results sooner or later, if you persist.

Hey Marlinda,
Great post and loving the direction of your niche, what a wonderful idea I imagine this will be hugely successful for you.
Beautiful pic of you and the family, the ai adaptations are pretty good too.
Beach snob, lol. 🤣
I haven't tried out this pin scout angle, I must check out Jay's training to learn more on this, but I get the gist and clearly you're getting important data back from yours, very interesting and good for you.
Hope you continue to get good results!
All the very best,
Cherie 😊
I had never heard of a scout pin before I watched Jay's trainings and it's kind of amazing to see what they can do. I am not fully following it at the moment, adapting what I can for my bootcamp site for now. I do plan to fully follow it in the future, most likely in the travel niche somewhere, so it is great to see what you are doing.
By the way, beautiful pictures of your family!!

Love this, Marlinda! This is such a great example of taking imperfect action and letting the data guide you instead of waiting for everything to be “perfect.” Those scout pin results are solid and clearly show you what your audience is already responding to. I also love the personality behind Fun Shores Ahead. The beach snob line made me laugh. You’re building a real brand here, not just posting pins. Excited to see how this grows going into spring and summer!
