Making Pinterest My Top Traffic Referral Site
When I first signed up for Pinterest in 2012, I set up a personal account and used the program for the pure sense of the word fun. I mean, who didn’t get that initial feeling of “Holy crap! How cool is this thing?” when you first logged on?
As I continued to pin a few of my favorite things, I started dropping in a some blog post pins into one of the business boards I set up.
Every month, I would check my Google Analytics and everytime I’d check my stats, I’d see clicks coming from Pinterest. Within six months, Pinterest quickly beat out Facebook and Organic Google Search as my top traffic referral site.
I was just pinning at that time. I didn’t have a Pinterest marketing plan or a pinning strategy worked out. I didn’t even have a business account!
When I hit my first 1,000 followers, I realized that it was time to get serious about how I was using Pinterest. My site traffic was growing as a direct result of posting on this visual site and I could easily see the potential that this powerful social program could do for my small business.
Let’s Be Honest
There’s a ton of people writing about Pinterest to give you tips and tricks to grow your Pinterest followers. And I know, because I read the articles and tried out almost every bit of advice that I could find.
I kept detailed notes and tracked what worked and tweaked the best of the pinning recommendations to fit my schedule. I kept working and changing and shifting my Pinterest strategy until the day came that I finally hit 10,000 Pinterest Followers.
{ I believe I heard the sound of trumpets go off when I saw my followers hit that 10,000 number! }
It didn’t happen overnight or even in just a few short months.
It happened because these steps I discovered worked. I used this process to create my Pinterest strategy and I follow these steps every week.
And now I want to share it with you!
