Why I'm Sharing These Pinterest Tips Hello you! Before I jump into sharing these Pinterest tips I have a question for you. Did you ever dream of achieving 100k? It could be $100,000 or maybe you wanted to get to 100,000 followers on one of your social media accounts. Whatever it is or was that was your big number and behind that big number is your 'why'. Why is that number so important to you? Just over four months ago I found out about Pinterest after seeing someone's Pinterest results and how realistic it is to grow traffic to a blog or website. I decided that I wanted to give it a try, after all, what do I have to lose? I have tried all sorts of other platforms or techniques like SEO, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. See my results at the time of writing below. I experienced successes with these other platforms but Pinterest looked like a lot more fun. How difficult can it be? It seems less hype than Instagram but most importantly it looks like it adds a lot more value to people's lives. Before I took the plunge I really need to understand why I was doing this? What is my motive? I needed to set a goal and promise myself to achieve that goal no matter what happened and to celebrate that success once that goal was achieved. and carefully followed the instructions as I wanted to get this absolutely right and set a good foundation. I have to confess that the prework before I even created my Pinterest account was challenging. I almost skipped this part of the course but I am so glad I didn't as it set my account up for success. I set up this blog in the first instance to help other women so the goal of this post is to share some golden nuggets and give you not just 2 or 3 but 11 Pinterest tips that got me from zero to over 100,000 views a month on Pinterest 1. Set Up Your Pinterest Account for Success Like I mentioned before one of the secrets to my success is at the very start is that I set up my Pinterest account for success. The hardest part was deciding who is my audience. Deciding on her age, what she does in her day to day life as well as the challenges she currently faces. If I don't understand who my audience is then what on earth am I going to write about? I needed to set up my brand and even decide on my colour palette and fonts. I am not an artist by any stretch of the imagination so what do I know about colours or fonts? Although, I do remember as a teenager trying to impress my then boyfriend by doing a drawing of him from a photo. I was quite chuffed with myself to have accomplished such a stunt. Don't worry I would not show you as I have no idea where that is right now. My memory of the drawing is probably better than the reality anyway. Lol! Of course, the technical bits of claiming my website and enabling rich pins were all part of the process so let's look at what's next on the list. 2. Keywords Having the right keywords are so important but before I go there let me back up a bit. I needed to know not only who I can help but what I am going to write about to help her. I was going to write about LinkedIn but that came to an abrupt end as there are only so many things one can say about that topic. I then thought about SEO but that is kind of boring for my audience. SEO does have cute animals like Pandas but that's as cute as it gets. My real passion though is traffic to a blog. Yes, I can create a blog in my sleep at his point after 10+ years of practice but I love the fact that there are so many ways to grow your blog traffic using so many highways that can lead to your blog. Once I decided on the topic then I needed to ensure that I chose keywords that were relevant to my topic but also that these k...
