Did you know that there are over 290 million monthly active users on Pinterest<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Over 290 million users. In just a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For you, a blogger noob, this means only one thing: Pinterest is THE PLATFORM that can help you get traffic and increase the number of your blog followers (no matter if you are a beauty, fashion, lifestyle, food or even a travel blogger).

Why, though?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason is pretty simple \u4e00 Pinterest is like an online scrapbook<\/strong> everyone enjoys making. It\u2019s easy to use, well-organized, and contains helpful content followed by stunning images. On Pinterest, users can express their interests, get ideas, and learn something new every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic steps of using Pinterest as a blog promotion tool are:

1. You publish a blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. You log into your Pinterest account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. You add a pin that is related to the blog post, followed by some interesting pin description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. You link the pin to your blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, the truth is, doing these steps won\u2019t get you traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, when EVERYONE is trying to get traffic from Pinterest, you need to \u201coptimize\u201d your pins, and boards<\/em><\/strong> if you want to raise the number of users in your Google Analytics. To help you promote your blog and get to users that are genuinely interested in reading your blog posts, we have decided to write about several tips you can use today to get traffic from Pinterest. Here are those tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #1 How to get traffic from Pinterest: Sign up for a free business account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Being a blogger in 2019 is a profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A blogger like yourself needs to be present on social media. You need to have a personal account and business accounts that you use to update your followers about the latest blog posts. This is why you need to set up a page on Facebook, accounts on Instagram and Twitter for your blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also needs to have a free business account on Pinterest<\/strong>.

To sign up for a business account, all you need to do is go to Pinterest.com, click on the Create a business account<\/em> link, type in the email address, and a password, and you\u2019re good to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason why we recommend you choose Pinterest Business instead of a regular account is that business one gets you access to Pinterest Analytics<\/strong>, the data that will show you how well your pins are performing. For example, you\u2019ll be able to see which pins are being repinned the most, how many visitors saw your pins, how many users visited your website directly from Pinterest, how many users clicked on your website, etc. This data will also show you which pins perform the best, so you can adjust the pin design and description according to users\u2019 preferences. If you want to learn more about Pinterest Analytics, be sure to check out a post on Hootsuite\u2019s blog<\/a>.

Bonus tip:<\/em><\/strong> Check your Pinterest Analytics to find out when the best time to post pins is. According to HubSpot<\/a>, the best time to post on Pinterest is between 8 and 11 p.m. or between 2 and 4 in the morning. Naturally, the worst time to post is during work hours. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #2 How to get traffic from Pinterest: Make sure you name the boards properly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you make a business account, you need to make sure users can find your account quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing you need to know about Pinterest is that people use this platform the same way they use Google<\/strong>. They type in the long or short words in the search bar (for example \u201csummer outfits\u201d or \u201cdiy face masks\u201d), and they wait for the results to pop up. Which only means that the words they use to search for pins are the keywords you should include in your boards\u2019 name, pin titles, and even pin descriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are not sure what we mean when we say keywords, here\u2019s an example of how it would go for a fashion blogger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s imagine that you are a fashion blogger and that your latest article was about couture, summer dresses. In fact, let\u2019s imagine that you write about all kinds of dresses and that you have a series of blog posts covering high-fashion dresses. If that\u2019s the case, you can name one of your boards \u201cDesigner Dresses\u201d. In that board, you can add a pin that will be linked to your latest blog post titled \u201c5 Dior Summer Dresses that You Need in Your Life\u201d.

The result? Your blog post about Dior summer dresses will be shown to the people that search \u201cdesigner dresses\u201d, and the pin will have the \u201cPicked for you\u201d feature<\/strong> placed under it, visible every time Pinterest users hover over your pin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s how you get new users to your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #3 How to get traffic from Pinterest: Write a compelling, keyword-filled pin description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Besides optimizing your account so users can find you quickly, you also need to optimize your pins by writing a compelling yet keyword-filled pin descriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first rule for writing pin descriptions is: don\u2019t be afraid of writing them. A pin description shouldn\u2019t be too different from the text you write when you share the blog posts on other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some tips that can help you write pin descriptions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
