Get Loads More Traffic with These Pinterest Tips
Okay many mom bloggers, foodies, fashionistas, travel lovers, DIYers, Photographers and SOME Internet marketers know the power of building a good email list.
In order to build that list, (by the way you should start building that list right away) you need a constant flow of traffic to your online assets!
The most traffic generous platform online today is hands down Pinterest! And I know this because it delivers over 79% of our blog traffic and we are able to see messages like the ones below in our email on a weekly basis!
Understand the results are NOT Typical
Now trust me when I say that this was not an overnight thing, not by a long short! Yet how will you ever get there if you don’t get started TODAY?
And to get started without floundering and messing about with DIY you need the Ultimate Pinterest Roadmap which you can gift yourself this year!
Now the reality is Pinterest has changed a great deal since we first joined way back in 2015. More changes came just before we run our social experiment to increase our follower base then from 200 – 800. You can read all about that here!
Funny thing is, at time of publishing, we have just over 6k followers on our business Pinterest profile and our focus has never been followers. And I’ve been singing it out loud that you didn’t need followers to attract traffic to your offers for the longest!
Well, what do you know! In the recent update Pinterest has woken up to the value of having an ever growing audience aka followers so now they matter.
You can learn our pinterest tips on increasing your followers here. Simply because the principles haven’t changed even though the interface has morphed in a major way! ?
Question is: are you willing, ready and ABLE to help yourself?
#1. Pinterest Tips – Competition is Great!
Okay someone was saying to me recently, isn’t there so much competition on Pinterest. Wont that mean I won’t get any? What?
Listen my friend, I said, people are going to compete with you in all types of businesses and internet marketing is no exception. Pinterest is on the internet and you cannot get more global that that!
So, whatever you happen to be offering online, and in whatever niche, there will always be people going up against you. You can let that competition scare you or you can push forward and be stronger because of it. It’s the same which change.
With Pinterest changing stuff almost on a weekly basis…well monthly okay! #rollseyes One can either say I’m done or go with the flow.
By the way there has been another Pinterest algorithm change in the last 2 weeks!
So instead of caving in, take heed from your competitors and you will succeed before you realize it. Internet marketers need to realize that all platforms online are constantly changing things up to stay afloat as well.
When you understand how the Basic Principles of online marketing work esp. on a platform like pinterest, you’ll be able to avoid simple blunders and you’ll be able to operate effectively.
That’s why people create resources to help you cut your journey shorter and we have done that for you on Pinterest.
To step up and match or even beat your competitors, analyse their strategies and why they’re doing what they’re doing that way. You will always have competition so you should just accept it and learn from their mistakes.
The better you know the other side, the higher will be the chances of you being successful. You will find at times that getting ahead of your competition seems impossible, but with internet marketing this will never last.
Your competition is doing something different and you need to find that out if you want to avoid common blunders. And on Pinterest a small tweak can be your saving grace.
If you can point out the mistakes before you make them, you’ll make the right choices and your business will last.

#2. Pinterest Tips – Quality Over Quantity:
Now I am sure if you are like me, you track your actions, right? You do check your numbers, Business is the right numbers game.
Then you will have noticed, if you haven’t yet that sometimes Pinterest traffic is pants…
And this comes from someone who loves Pinterest. So why is this?
Because Pinterest users are finicky. They’re mostly searching for that bargain, they dont hang around for long, causing atrocious bounce rates for many a new website pinner!
Solution?
Well, if you shift your focus from wanting to be just popular and reaching millions of just about anyone, to Attracting Loyal Fans and Serving them with your targeted offers you will make more sales…You will start to attract more targeted followers and views. And the bounce rate wont matter…
The highly untargeted traffic will only result in a High Bounce rate for you and affect you if you know not what to do! And that’s NOT what you want!
If this is you, then this may help. Imagine its you searching for something on Pinterest.
What would you do?
What is your intention when you login to your Pinterest?
Are you looking for answers to a specific Need, Question, desire?
Then how do you turn this round for your audience?
What would be their next question.
In other words, put yourself in their situation and provide what they need, you will find people stay longer on your site and visit more of your amazing content, and pages, reducing your bounce rate…And you get to serve them more as they will come back and buy!
They too are looking for answer so they will bounce if your resource doesn’t answer that question! Sometimes I have like 6 sites open and I am searching for a specific thing…
So, understand your audience needs and you will attract better quality traffic from Pinterest, traffic that actually converts!
For you my friend with an e-commerce understand that you website will always have a higher bounce rate. WHY?
Because it’s an e-store. People come browse and go or they come buy and go. There is nothing else much keeping them on your page unless you have a blog on it!
The average time is less than a minute on an eComm site. BUT here is the sweet news; Most people always come back. Imagine amazon, Yup!
Most people visit an ecomm site 3-5 times before they convert aka Buy! And that my friend is why people are able to sell on other sites like Shopify, Etsy, eBay etc!
Most people visit the site 3-5 times before they convert aka Buy![RECOMMENDED: 7 KILLER STRATEGIES TO DRIVE PINTEREST TRAFFIC TO YOUR SITE!]
#3. Pinterest Tips – Are you keeping up with the Trends?
So, you have noticed a major overhaul on this platform. Did you think that your strategy should stay the same?
Here is what I would recommend you do or outsource to a VA. We had to do this following the much talked about Tailwind/Pinterest interview on Facebook.
- Update your Pin images and descriptions. Try adding new images to old posts, i.e. refresh those posts and expose them to your new increased followers. Add keywords, add some hashtags to each description 5-6 tops we did that and we are starting to see a rise in traffic!
- What group boards are not delivering for you and yet have a ton of unrelated pins. Ditch such Group Boards that no longer serve your brand. They are dragging your reach and rank in search down. Do it, thank me later.
- When was the last time you created a Board? Well, now’s a good time to Create new boards that are aligned with your website categories or Keywords. That way you have at least 5 Boards where you can pin your content every time you publish! FOCUS MORE on your Personal boards

#4. Pinterest Tips – Get the Basics right – Keyword research!
Basically, if you are selling anything online, blogging or want traffic to your online brand you must do some Basic SEO. With pinterest I created a whole Pinterest SEO resource for you for free. No optin necessary, read it here!
Please don’t tell me you rely on just searching on Pinterest for keywords? Be more pro-active. When we do our keyword research we use a tool called “Question Samurai” and We also check Google console, Keyword suggester, Quora and YouTube.
You will see a better flow of traffic to your website within 90 days for sure if you are consistent and Pin at least 5 Pins daily from your website.
If you are getting a pitiful number of views, how does 500 daily website visitors sound to you? How about 5000? And your offers start to attract subscribers, sales, buyers?
Well get started with these Pinterest Tips and you will have that and way more!
#5. Dial in Your Lead Generation
Okay with these Pinterest tips, you will start to attract traffic. Thus, at least once a week point your traffic to your capture page so you can actually follow up with those who truly chose to be served by you.
For this you need offers that help your audience in a deeper way. If you promote or sell anything for a commission on or offline, a blogger, an affiliate marketer, online marketer etc… I can tell you with hand on my heart that the one resource you want to have in your LEAD GENERATION and SALES kit is this one!

I love this information – Pinterest can be overwhelming for bloggers and marketers alike. It’s important to focus on one step at a time, but hiring a VA can be really helpful if you are feeling like you can’t handle it on your own.
exactly Sarah,
So many marketers and bloggers want to do everything themselves 🙂 Start small start hiring and delegating some things now and you attract more to free your time too! 🙂
It always feels like there is so much to keep up with, then once you finally get it, everything changes. We also get a bit of traffic from pinterest so we keep up with it, but wow it quickly becomes time consuming.
Pinterest is definitely more of a versatile platform than most. yet I focus on the essential basic Principles of Social media marketing combined with SEO as it is half of each of these. And I never go wrong! Do the same and try to automate some of your efforts and you will be okay too!
Great information. I’m just getting started on Pinterest but this information seems like it will be a big help.

Ah! 40 pins a day is so much work. Ha! But I did just upload a bunch today b/c Pinterest remains one of my high sources of traffic for sure!
Hey Jennifer,
You dont have to do the manual labor. Use Resources as suggested in article above to soften the workload and 40 Pins will be easy work! 🙂
🙂 Julie pinning 5 pins daily to my Pinterest board is a lot.
So, does this mean that I can pin older content that was never pinned before?
And thank you for sharing your expertise on Pinterest!
What Renard?
Okay hang on you deleted your old blog and started afresh.
Thing is you dont have to pin your fresh content daily, you have older content, FB Posts, YT Videos, Tweets.
Any post you have with a link, can be pinned via Pinterest optimized image bro. So go for it!
And you are most welcome 😉
Julie
