Growth on Pinterest
Remember that data series I ran? No. Well, here’s a refresher since it was two months ago. I took all the data I had collected over the last year and a half from Google analytics and started crunching numbers and creating graphs so I could prove to myself that what we were doing was working, or not working. What a fascinating study! I learned so much about images, scheduling tools, and pinning frequency. I detailed my findings in all of these posts:
- Does pinning frequency affect traffic?
- How do scheduling tools affects traffic?
- Should I Use Branded Images on Pinterest?
So why did I share all of this with you?
One of my core values as a Pinterest for business strategist, is to teach healthy pin habits. Ones that are business building and designed to increase traffic, grow your email list and make money. I want whatever advice I put out there to be founded on facts and not create mayhem. It’s a waste of my time and yours.
What matters the most is knowing your account. No quick fix strategy, number of pins per day, branded image, scheduling tools or deleting pins is going to be your surefire way to success on Pinterest. It takes work!
Those that know their tribe and consistently work to provide useful content will win. And the wins don’t happen overnight, they happen over the long haul. (Picture the slow moving locomotive crawling up hill.) That’s the beauty of Pinterest. What works today will most likely still be working for you in 2 years!
Read through the data, ponder on some of the findings and come up with a system that works for you. Pinterest isn’t confusing. Pin the best of what’s already working for you mixed with some new content and you’ll see forward movement.
Happy pinning!
I actually stumbled across this series on Pinterest last night. I’ve read every post, and have even subscribed to your blog.
Thank you for sharing this information as it will really help me in improving my every changing Pinterest strategy.
As you said, I’ve learned that there is no one size fits all trick to being successful on Pinterest. I’ve been working on trying different things to see what works for ME.
Again, thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for stopping by Tiffany! Yes, try what works for you. I’m excited to hear of your success.
I love the fact that Pinterest now allows people to directly post their affiliate links. I feel it’s a good move for Pinterest to do and here’s why. 1st, those who are just starting out in the side hustle and trying to get away from their cushy day jobs and quit their day jobs in the future can experiment with promoting affiliate links on Pinterest without shelling out one dime for PPC advertising or buying a domain name and server and not knowing what to do at 1st. So this way, when new side hustlers do promote affiliate links on Pinterest and don’t earn sales, they didn’t churn out one red cent for paid advertising. This’ll keep them inspired to continue moving forward with learning how Pinterest affiliate marketing can help them take the side hustle of working from home to the next level.
