You ever start something thinking it’d just be a side project… and then realize it turned into its own little empire?
That’s kind of how Pinterest snuck up on me this year.

I’m now running three different brands on there
Brand One: Bigfoot,
Brand Two: Paranormal, and
Brand Three: Affiliate
and every one of them is moving forward purely through organic traffic. No ads. No shortcuts. Just good old-fashioned storytelling, curiosity, and showing up week after week.

Let me walk you through what’s been happening and what I’ve learned along the way.

Brand One: Bigfoot

This one’s the heart of it all.
I started Wildfoot Explores back in March 2025 just to post my Bigfoot stuff morning coffee shots, theory posts, book links, and those deep-forest mystery visuals that make people stop mid-scroll.

It didn’t happen overnight, but little by little, the page started to snowball.
Now, Wildfoot has crossed over 1.3 million views, all from organic growth.
No ad budget. No gimmicks. Just story and soul.

These days, Wildfoot averages well over 130,000 views a month, and I’m seeing more engagement than ever.
People connect with it because it feels real a mix of myth, mystery, and forest truth.
That’s what Wildfoot has always been about.

One of my favorite parts about Pinterest?

A Halloween post I made last year suddenly started blowing up again this October proving that Pinterest never really forgets a good story.

Posts don’t die over there; they just wait for the right moment to wake up.

Here’s the funny part: that pin actually leads to Instagram. Why? Honestly, I have no clue. It was one of those old pins I thought had completely flopped.

But here’s the wild twist I barely even post on Instagram. Most of what shows up there is just shared automatically from Facebook. Last year, I was testing ways to connect everything together, and this was one of the results.

The best part?
Both my Instagram and Facebook bios link straight to my website, so even this accidental little chain still drives traffic full circle.

Brand Two: Paranormal

This one’s my quieter brand, but it’s starting to find its rhythm.
I launched Paranormal Curiosities Realm in April 2025 as a home for my ghost-related books, blogs, and investigations. I’m still working on the website, but I started posting pins anyway small pieces of curiosity, spooky imagery, and story teasers.

Even with light posting, it’s gaining traction.
The past month alone saw impressions jump more than 700%, and engagement rose over 400%.
That’s from just showing up.

I like to think of this page as my slow-burn brand it’s not trying to race anyone.
It’s just quietly building an audience that’s genuinely into the deeper side of things hauntings, theories, and that unexplainable pull toward what we can’t see.

It’s growing, and it’s doing it the right way: one true believer at a time.

Brand Three: Affiliate

Now, this is my main digital brand the one built around freedom, growth, and helping people build something real online.

I launched Just Me Built With Dreams at the start of 2025, and it’s been quietly building behind the scenes.
Since then, it’s hit over 300,000 impressions and 7,000+ engagements, all from organic reach.

I’m not running Pinterest ads right now because my ad focus is on Facebook testing storytelling-style campaigns and watching the numbers there.
But even without ads, Pinterest has been performing incredibly well.

Just this past month, the page pulled 51,000+ views, up more than 60% from last month. Engagement’s up too over 1,300 interactions, and saves have doubled.

The top pins say it all:
“From the Driver’s Seat to Digital Success”
“In six months, you’ll be glad you started today.”

These are personal. They come straight from the life I’m living long days on the road, long nights building something I believe in.
And people connect with that because it’s real.

That’s what Just Me is all about showing that you don’t need to be famous to build something meaningful online. You just need consistency, a plan, and a story people can relate to.

Pinterest has turned into my silent builder working in the background while I drive, write, or create. It keeps sending people into my ecosystem, and many of them end up discovering my Wealthy Affiliate blogs, my websites, and everything else I’ve built.

What I’ve Learned from Running All Three

Each brand serves a different side of me.
Wildfoot connects people to mystery and the wild.
Paranormal Curiosities brings them into the unseen.
And Just Me Built With Dreams shows them the path to freedom.

They don’t compete with each other they complement each other.

All three are growing organically, all three drive traffic to my websites, and all three are tied together by one system the training and tools I learned right here through Wealthy Affiliate.

Pinterest has become one of my biggest traffic machines, and it doesn’t cost me a cent to keep building it.
It just takes time, consistency, and purpose.

That’s the real secret.
Don’t overcomplicate it.
Post with heart, connect with your story, and let the platforms do the rest.

Final Thoughts

Running three brands might sound crazy, but it’s actually taught me one of the most important lessons about online business you don’t need to pick one dream.
You can build around all the things that matter to you.

Bigfoot.
The paranormal.
Affiliate marketing.
They all work together because they all come from the same place me.

If you’re building something here at WA, don’t be afraid to test different ideas.
Each brand teaches you something new, and all of it stacks over time.

Pinterest is just one example of what happens when you keep showing up.
It’s slow at first. Then it grows quietly. Then one day you realize you’ve hit over a million views, and it all started with one pin.

So wherever you are right now keep going.
Tell your story.
And remember, the small things you post today might be the ones that bring people to you a year from now.
