Pinterest - My New Favourite Social Media Platform!
Up until a couple of weeks ago I was not a fan of Pinterest.
Sure, I signed up for it during the training, but I couldn't really get in to it. I didn't understand how it worked, and spent my time on other social media platforms that I knew how to navigate quite well.
I wasn't seeing the results I wanted from other places I spent more time at like Instagram and Facebook, so I decided to venture down the Pinterest road and really see what it is all about.
I had to watch some training on how it works, just to make sure I was really doing it correctly.
Fast forward 2 weeks:
- I have had two sales, both came from a Pinterest post
- I have over 1.5k monthly views, and it hasnt been a month yet
- A number of my "pins" are saved each day to other peoples boards
- A good majority of my traffic comes from Pinterest or Organic Searches
- My numbers are growing each day. It is like Christmas morning when I wake up and check out my Pinterest account
I highly recommend checking out the Pinterest world if you haven't already. A "pin" lasts about a week on Pinterest, which gives it a lot more of a chance to be seen by your followers.
This is the longest of any of the social media platforms. Twitter I believe, is just seconds and then it is lost in the world of "tweets" never to be seen again!

Ive also discovered the productivity from pinterest. Pinterest is definitely where its at. Congrats on your success
Its sound so rewarding to go for Pinterest as your marketing channel. I will definitely go for it. Thanks for sharing your experiences
I've had a pinterest account for some years now and like you have never really got into it. are there any trainings that you can recommend to watch please?
Honestly, I just youtubed "how to use pinterest" and a ton of videos came up. I then googled "how to use pinterest for business" and went from there. I plan on creating a training here in the next little while for it! Good Luck!
Thanks Montana, I need to retrain myself on all the ins and outs of using Pinterest.

Need Pinterest help. Want to claim my url on my Pinterest act and it says to go to my website and find my index.html file. I am using WordPress. Can anyone tell me where I should be looking? Didn't see any options in Settings.
just added a reply in live chat - but go to your all in one general settings and scroll down to the verification section - paste in the code from pinterest and save - should be good.
good luck

I’m definitely going to check it out more. Right now I just post to it but don’t see much results wise.
Totally! I will have to create a training on how to use it. Must put it on my to do list which seems to be getting longer by the day! haha
What a wonderful post and thanks for the information.
I think getting traffic is always the most difficult part of any business. No traffic => no business.
I think those of us who are "more mature" don't appreciate other less well known or appreciated sites (compared to Facebook) like Pinterest.
Thanks Montana for the post as well as the roadmap. I too am right where you are in that i signed up in training but still don't get it...so I will watch the videos and try and catch up!
