Pinning Habits = Long-term Success

 

Let’s take a closer look at some great tips for developing pinning habits that help get more traffic to your site:

 

1. Focus on pinning to niche boards. Ensure your pins are relevant to your audience and the topics around the business you run.
2. Pin consistently using a scheduling tool, instead of pinning all at once.
3. When you Save a Pin from Pinterest, always check the link first.
4. Create at least 2 pins for each blog post.
5. Use unique descriptions for each and every pin you save, even if it’s for the same blog post.
6. Start pinning as early as 45 days in advance when you want to promote a launch, a special offer, or a seasonal blog post or product.
7. Get your content on Pinterest as soon as it’s published and your pin will be prioritized.
8. Save pins to the most relevant board first.
9. Add the Pinterest save button to your website.
10. Connect at least one social media channel to Pinterest to help promote your pins – you can post your pins to Facebook using Tailwind. Tailwind will send out your pins in a group, so you don’t have to worry about spamming everyone with individual pins.

Why should you use Pinterest?

 

Ultimately, you use Pinterest as another channel to connect with your audience where they are hanging out, and to showcase what you have to offer. You want people to find your website because they’ll find useful information on your site. You want people to have a good experience with what they find on your site and on your social channels.

 

Plus, you really want people to be satisfied with your content if they click on your pin. That should always be the aim of your Pinterest strategy.

 

How do I Make Pinterest Work for Me?

 

Build a website and a Pinterest profile that people will want to visit. Create brilliant content that people will want to read. Make products or services that people want to have or experience.

 

Knowing your target audience and giving them a positive experience will help you be successful in your business, and on Pinterest. If people click through to a quality website that provides them with content that helps solve a problem, then they will be more likely to visit your site again, and pin more of your content on Pinterest.
