How to Grow Your Blog with Pinterest ✨

Pinterest and blogging are a match made in heaven 💘 I know I say this about a lot of different niches, but there are two things in particular that make using Pinterest to grow your blog a no brainer.

1. You’re already creating lots of content. Pinterest accounts see the most success when they consistently Pin fresh and interesting content.

As a blogger, your job is to create lots and lots of fresh content, so you already have all of the material you need to share to Pinterest!

2. You can see quick results. Pinterest’s main function (from a marketing perspective) is to drive website traffic. For a lot of industries, this traffic fills the top of their sales funnel, and there they need to nurture these leads into becoming customers or clients.

But as a blogger, getting website traffic is a goal in and of itself, so simply getting traffic from Pinterest is a complete funnel in itself!

Of course, you can use this traffic to do other things (grow your email list, click through affiliate links, etc.), but the traffic itself is also beneficial.

You’re already creating tons of great content and website traffic is one of your main marketing goals, so Pinterest is a no brainer!!

The two Pinterest ESSENTIALS: strong visuals and strong SEO. ⚡️

Why?

Because Pinterest is a visual search engine, so to see success you need to optimize these two elements.

Strong SEO (ie. a solid keyword strategy) will help Pinterest to understand who you are and what content you offer and then get your content ranking high in relevant search results (ie. getting your content in front of your ideal audience).

Strong visuals will catch users’ attention and encourage them to then engage with your Pins.

The two work together! Without good SEO, your content won’t be seen in the first place, but if you only have good SEO and poor visuals, your Pins may be seen but no one will take action on them (aka Save your Pins and click through to your website).

There is a LOT of info out there about how to grow on Pinterest but if you’re feeling overwhelmed, just keep these two elements in mind and you’ll be way to Pinterest success! 💘
