Pinterest this, Pinterest that...

If you're like me and follow what some of the best online marketers do then you probably hear about the crazy traffic they often get from Pinterest.

Well, I've just experienced a bit of this for the first time...

and it's finally like the penny has dropped!


This pin has received some serious attention for me (and if you look closely it's so badly edited... notice the white box going over the shadow on the left side.)

As you can see it's helped me achieve a few 100+ views in a day for me and get over 1k sessions in a month.

All of this from 1 pin!! Just imagine if you can make 10-20 pins like this...

This has confirmed that Pinterest is a crazy free traffic tool if used properly.

But be warned there is quite a lot to learn for it!

It's not as simple as just making a pin and watching the traffic flow in. It's important to understand how Pinterest works and how you can use it to your advantage!

First of all Pinterest is NOT a social media platform:

  • Facebook- User to user
  • Instagram- User to user
  • Twitter- User to user
  • Google- User to content
  • Pinterest- User to content

Can you notice the difference?

Simply put, social media platforms try to keep you on their own platform. Pinterest is similar to Google in the sense that it helps users find the content that they are searching for.

Honestly, people actually type in keywords in Pinterest and find content (i.e. your website) just like they do on Google.

I just wanted to share my mini piece of success as it's been like a lightbulb for me!

And if you are interested in learning more, check out the "Free Become a Pinterest Master" course I have made about all the best tips and hacks to make Pinterest work for you.

If you use this in line with the WA training to get free traffic from Google and improve your SEO then you can imagine how quick this could scale!

I hope this helps... it is possible to get free traffic in other ways other than Google!

Keep changing for the better,

Mike

I have been using Pinterest for a while now but for some reason my pins for my SAC website are not doing so well, I am not sure what I am doing wrong, I have changed the keywords and dome keyword research on Pinterest but still, most impressions I get on a pin is 50 and no clicks to my website.

There's a key strategy there, actually. :) It's not about the keywords, but joining group boards and engagement with other pinners. I did the same thing and immediately my traffic went higher than I expected, which surprises me time by time.

Hey Rose. Personally, I find that reviews don't work too well on Pinterest. If you think about what people type into Pinterest (make money online/ make money quick/ use work from home etc.) that won't bring up "wealthy affiliate review". So change the titles to suit what people are looking for...

I personally use Pinterest for my podcast and other posts mainly rather than other reviews I'm writing.

This does mean I'm not spending all my time writing reviews so maybe it's not the best strategy short term but I'm playing for the long game here

Check this out it will hopefully make more sense. It really does matter how your Pinterest account is set up too...

You have made great points, I will go back and edit my latest pins.
We shall see if thats helps.

Awesome! I had the same experience which my 1 pin got 3K impressions and 14 clicks 2 hours after I published it. It's really crazy how traffic goes high today, too. :)

Yep and the best thing is that one pin can provide you traffic in a years time! Unlike Twitter or Facebook etc.

Yes, thats why I love Pinterest, there is a pin I created about 5 months ago and it’s still getting clicks 👌👍🏻

amazing!

Yes, it's true. Which is why I'm experimenting Tailwind as a tool and see how using this would increase my Pinterest engagement. :)

Awesome!

Thanks Hanna, it's starting to go even crazier recently. Another post will come out soon!

Ingrid

Thanks Ingrid, I hope it helps

Thanks much. It's my intent to work on my pinterest site, so your post is timely. I am checking out your guide.

Keep at it Fran. It defo grows and from what I can tell it can explode!

Excellent post and thank you for the training tip. I am checking that out!!!

I hope it helps! There's a steep learning curve for Pinterest but this is my first real sign how it can work

Yes it does seem to be a growing animal. Non make money online niches do seem to do a lot better, but I am starting to get some traction on my MMO pins as more and more marketers move onto the platform.

Agreed! It certainly is possible for MMO on Pinterest though... check out BTOP and thesheapproach

Congratulations!
I have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest... Had a lot of success with it with my parenting blog, but when I switched to MMO niche I could not make it work.
Thanks for the inspiration, will try again.
Best,
Alenka

I know exactly what you mean about the love/hate relationship! It defo is possible from what I've seen. BTOP and thesheapproach are great examples

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you!
