If your reading this and would like to add some more tips and tricks to encourage Pinterest ❤️ please feel free to share, I think its safe to say that we all have some great tips and tricks when it comes to using Pinterest.

Some things to consider when starting out on Pinterest and looking to grow your Pinterest Business Account👇🏻

  1. First things first, Pinterest is what many Expert Pinterest Users consider a Slow Burn. What does that mean? It means that it takes time to grow on Pinterest. Many people expect that their new Pinterest Business Account will take off the moment they have posted their first pin but often a new Pinterest Business Account will take time to grow, evolve and produce.

    When I first started using Pinterest circa. 2008 it was very much a follow and be followed platform and working online wasn’t a ´thing´ yet. Personally, I never had any numbers expectations when I first started using Pinterest for my business, perhaps because I was learning how to use the platform in a different way Business vs. Personal use.

  2. For any Pinterest User Account & Board Organization Is Key. Keeping your account and boards organized on Pinterest is perhaps one of the most overlooked items when planning and preparing for Pinterest ❤️ and growth. I have always stressed the importance of having a Secret Personal Board or two for all your personal likes and saves. Having a business account is great on Pinterest but not when one is sharing their personal favorite mascara hacks, messy bun pins or a favorite sports car pick and you have a Graphic Design business or your a  Marketing Professional. If Pinners don’t understand your visual message then they won’t be able to understand what you do or what you want them to do or worse what your asking for.

    I am a CPT & Fitness Coach and many of the boards I have created are specifically related to fitness and health in addition to my target market. I have three Secret Personal Boards where I pin my favorite pins and these are boards only I can see and pin to (Secret). In addition to organizing pin content, I also created Board Covers using Canva to add some life and interest to my public boards, encouraging more Pinterest ❤️.

  3. Its all about pinning consistently with fresh homemade content and keywords to wet the Pinterest Algorithms Appetite! There is nothing that Pinners here on Pinterest love more than fresh content that is pinned consistently. Consider using Idea Pins (Pinterest´s latest 📌 creation tool) you can absolutely let your creative side shine through while growing your Pinterest Business Account. Just like reaping the benefits of fresh consistent content if your not pinning regularly prepare to watch your numbers come down and don’t blame the Algorithm.

    I recently moved with my family and really didn’t have the time to create and share, but the moment I stopped pinning my content and more specifically for me Idea Pins my numbers instantly started to go down, it was a long line down to the bottom of the graph (I was tired when I got to the bottom). While I am currently building my numbers back up it is clear to me that if you don’t consistently create and pin 📌 fresh content it will definitely impact your analytics here on Pinterest.

  4. 📢 Sing it from every corner of the internet I Am On Pinterest Please Follow Me nameofpinterestbusiness Its the proverbial if you don’t ask you don’t get. If you are looking to grow your following here on Pinterest (everyone loves to get followers) then ask. If your creating content that you post here on Pinterest in addition to other Social Media Accounts then create a Call To Action and ask for the Follows & Love ❤️. When creating content consider what you want your viewers to do after they have watched. The rules around Follows | Likes | Loves & Saves have changed its okay to ask for what you want.

LOVE these tips @bodymindmood!  

Having optimized boards is key to getting your pins in front of the right people! 

I'll add a few onto the list too... ☺️

1. Embrace change!  When a new feature rolls out, try it out a lot of times you will see great results from it.

2. Don't neglect your website SEO.  Your metadata gets pulled through when people pin from your website, so make sure you have your keywords/interests on your website too! Pins rank higher when the content is tied to a specific keyword or interests.  Have the keyword(s) in the image file name, blog title, page seo, pin title, description, etc.
