5 Things You Can Do Today to Get Traffic to Your Website from Pinterest

amomentwithfranca · 14 June 2020 · 21 Comments

This is a guest post written by the lovely Emma from Me and B Make Tea called “5 Things You Can Do Today to Get Traffic to Your Website from Pinterest”. If you are interested in ideas or suggestions on how to improve your Pinterest, you will find this post very useful.  If you would like to know more about Emma, please scroll down to the bottom of this post where you can find her details, under “About the Author“.

It goes without saying that Pinterest can do wonders for driving traffic back to your website. A lot of people see it as another social media platform but really it’s a super powerful search engine. Want to find homemade slime recipes? Pinterest. Minecraft party food ideas? Pinterest. If you’re a blogger or small business owner, there’s plenty of scope for getting your content on Pinterest to drive traffic. Today I’m sharing five tips for getting started with Pinterest Marketing. Don’t have time to manage Pinterest yourself? There are always options for outsourcing the work to a virtual assistant. I can help with that too – Pinterest marketing help.

Top Tip 1 – Optimise

Optimise your Pinterest profile. Make sure you use keywords everywhere you can to describe your business or blog. Pop them in your profile, your board descriptions and your pin descriptions. Pinterest likes a few relevant hashtags too. Here’s an example of a description for a LEGO storage pin. I use words like “hacks”, “ideas” and “storage” because these regularly come up in keyword phrases.

 

Top Tip 2 – Research

I always have a quick look on Pinterest to see what people are searching for. Most of my audience come from the States. Therefore, I often use the word “mom” in pin descriptions, as well as mum. Think about what your audience might be searching for and then research that to confirm. I often use keyword research to brainstorm other blog post ideas too. Win win!

Top Tip 3 – Create Great Graphics

Pinterest is a visual platform so it’s super important you have some beautiful, long, Pinterest images. You can create these fast using an app like Canva. I find it’s worth getting the paid for version as it makes creating multiple pins very quickly, super easy. I create pinnable images for my clients so you could always outsource pin creation if you don’t have the time.

Top Tip 4 – Use a Scheduler

There are a couple of options for scheduling pins, but my favourite is Tailwind. It’s easy to use, suggest the optimal times to pin, and makes sure you’re not seen as spammy. Always a plus. The paid for version is well worth it if you really want to sky-rocket your Pinterest marketing. The use of “tribes” is great too for sharing relevant content and pinning third-party content which your audience will love. Tailwind makes scheduling and sharing content very easy.

Top Tip 5 – Facebook groups

Over the past few years I’ve joined a lot of Pinterest group boards. You need to pick the right ones though. Choose boards which fit your niche and will resonate with your main audience. My go-to for finding group boards is Facebook groups. Quite often people will advertise if they’re looking for collaborates. Also directly searching for relevant boards within Pinterest can be useful, it takes time and effort but if it’s an active board, it can pay dividends.

The Facebook groups are a good place to start:

And these Facebook groups will help you get started.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/PinterestPalsGroup/
https://www.facebook.com/groups/PinTips/

It can seem daunting but once you set up your profile and boards, it can reap huge rewards. If you don’t have time to manage Pinterest on top of all the other platforms out there, consider hiring a virtual assistant who specialises in this area. Be sure to find out what the service involves – as a minimum you want someone to get you set up, optimise your pins, track performance and get you into some relevant group boards. Pinterest virtual assistant services can save you a lot of time.

Are you making the most of Pinterest for marketing your website? Do you have more tips to add to this list? You can find Emma at Me and B Make Tea blog HERE and you can follow her on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, & Pinterest. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

I have been trying to keep eating a good breakfast every morning to help me with my low iron! .Most days I have branflakes and sometimes weetabix but Fridays to Sundays, I make a little effort and prepare overnight oats. I love them! They are so tasty and leave me satisfy for hours which means not craving for snacks until lunch time! Win win 😀.I prepare the oats with chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, honey and leave it overnight. In the morning, I serve it with strawberries, blueberries, banana and honey.

✨Teacher’s Strike Day✨.Happy hump day! So ✨Teacher’s Strike Day✨.Happy hump day! So we have our first teacher’s strike day today which means no school and learning from home..Bella is doing her school work via Google classroom so she will follow her normal school day that way and Sienna doesn’t have a structured day from school today so she should have a day off but we have agreed for her to do some work too, so she will be reading, practicing for her spelling test and doing some maths. This way we can all have a productive day 😉, well hopefully! 😬. Have you been affected by the strike today? What are your plans? .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #sisterhood #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #westfield #westfieldlondon #londonkids
✨Happy Friday✨.Did you have a good week? Unf ✨Happy Friday✨.Did you have a good week? Unfortunately, it wasn’t that good for us because the girls have been under the weather. Bella started first with a sore throat and high fever for a few days and then when Bella got better, Sienna started! She got a horrible cough but no temperature. Her cough was that bad that she couldn’t sleep very well for a couple of nights. They are both much better now and back to school.. The weather hasn’t helped either. It has been so cold lately! I literally feel frozen all the time. Thankfully it is looking better atm as the temperatures are starting to rise. I decided to get my flu vaccine, so I hope it protects me from all these viruses that are going around! Have you had the flu vaccine too? .On another note, I went yesterday to a parents meeting about GCSE options for Bella. I can’t believe she needs to think about it already ahead of Year 9. The time really goes fast. Are your kids dealing with GCSEs too?.📸 Sharing this beautiful bouquet of flowers from @freddiesflowers to brighten up our day.#flowerarrangement #flowerdelivery #bouquetofflowers #flowersmakemehappy #loveflowers #flowersoftheday #flowersoftheweek #flowerlover #freshflowers #flowerobsession #bunchofflowers #foreverflowers #flowersofinstagram #homesweethome
