Everything is Possible
Probably if someone told me few months ago that the Pinterest is so valuable for a blog, I wouldnโt believe it. Once I have decided to recover my blog and make the impact, I was spending the days reading the internet about all techniques and ways to promote it. Pinterest was on top of the list for every blogger so I decided to make an business account and connect to my blog.
Fast Growth
In less then 2 months my Pinterest hit 253k monthly unique viewers. I was shocked how quick was it as I was reading many blogs and stories how bloggers take much longer to reach that number. Did I do something differently or I was just lucky? I like to believe it is a hard work and dedication. Today, my blog has the biggest amount of organic traffic comes not from Google (not yet) but Pinterest.
You Can Do It Too
1. AESTHETIC MATTERS
Every time you post something, you must ensure it is beautiful. Pinterest is somehow so popular and people who are exploring it will most likely click on your pictures if they are โattractiveโ to click. Therefore ensure to use canva with Pinterest pins as they have unlimited number of pictures and plenty of inspiration.
2. ALT TEXT
Each time you post pictures it is crucial to write descriptions of them -otherwise it will be hard to be found. Make sure to write attractive description so people can be curious about the topic and click on the link to visit and read your blog.
3. 3:1 TACTIC
One post you write on blog equals to 3 pictures you post. The point is to post 3 different pictures: I normally do 2 aesthetic ones and 1 made in canva. Then you can see and track the views and click so you will know what goes the best.
4. ENGAGE
Ensure to engage with other bloggers on the social media. Follow, comment and you can even request for group boards where you will post together with the rest of the bloggers which will give you transparency.
I hope I helped you and gave you some instant idea and inspiration to start your journey with Pinterest. 80% of my blog traffic is coming from it. It is worth of starting and if you follow there steps you will be able to grow quick.
5. READ, READ, READ
I can’t thank enough to all the ebooks I have read and that taught me different strategies to implement. It is really all up to you to research, read and implement. Sharing below one of the great books I read, get your free online copy.

I was accidentally growing very well on Pinterest, but because I couldn’t completely explain what I was doing, I started falling off. I’ve been looking into this more, and I’m going to start being more intentional about it. I’ve heard several bloggers praise Pinterest blog traffic as well. Thanks for sharing this info. Any additional help you can give with Pinterest would be great!

Thanks for this post! I know it is extremely important to use pinterest as a blogger. I love your suggestions about using canva and creating multiple pins for each blog post. The only issue is that I am not getting a lot of link clicks. I’m sure that will come with time as I continue to grow. Slow and steady wins the race especially in the blogging world.

OK thank you for those reassuring words! I am only at 10K monthly views and I probably get 0-1 links a day. But I will keep at it.

I personally can’t figure out the right formula… I tried everything you mentioned and it wasn’t really working, so I gave up on Pinterest altogether.

Hi Shelly sorry for late reply ๐ Your profile looks great to me honestly! I just seen you have few posts with the title โwordpress.com โ so I think that would be hard for people to find the topic you write about, so you should ensure title is filled with the key words ๐

Thanks for checking hun! I guess those WordPress ones are from the lazy pins I created by sharing the post instead of actually creating a pin. Iโll redo them, thank you! ๐
