We're diving into a 3-part series on troubleshooting your Pinterest marketing. We're going to take 3 aspects of marketing and provide guidance on what can be improved. The 3 topics we're covering are  – images, keywords, and content. First up, images! The flagship way users interact with your content. I believe these are where you get the most bang for your buck. Intro - Call to Action: At Simple Pin Media, we have a team of designers that will not only create pins for you but can also help guide you through pin creation.

Let's talk about volume vs. conversion and how that relates to your Pinterest marketing strategy. There are two camps of people in my community – those who want more traffic and those who want more sales. There are some that have both but more often than not one of those goals wins out. Add to it the frustration of the internet changing and you have a lot of confused, overwhelmed, and frustrated people. But I would argue the frustration isn't always about what's happening TO us but it's the lack of a clear understanding of our business model and what our ultimate goal is. So the question I'm asking today is what's the difference between volume and conversion goals in online business and can you achieve both, especially with Pinterest marketing.—-------Here are some helpful links from the podcast:

Send us a textIf your Pinterest traffic has taken a nosedive, there's a good reason—and a way to fix it. In this episode, we break down Pinterest's latest update that's hiding the "Visit Site" button on some pins, explain why it's happening, and give you the exact steps to get your clicks back. Featuring insights from Pinterest expert Kate Ahl of Simple Pin Media.My insights here are based on Kate Ahl's blog and podcast, which offer some of the most up-to-date guidance available. That said, Pinterest is an ever-evolving platform, and changes can happen quickly—so nothing is ever truly set in stone.I always hesitate to present things as black and white because Pinterest's algorithm and business goals are fluid. What works today may shift tomorrow. But this is the most accurate and helpful information we have right now, and I wanted to make sure you had it.As with all marketing strategies, treat this as a series of micro tests—observe what resonates, adapt to what the platform favors, and refine your approach to get the best results, whether that's in traffic, engagement, or ROI (including the time you invest). Keep testing, keep adjusting, and keep marketing your business with intention.

You can drive traffic from Pinterest all day, every day, but converting them to long-term buyers is a little more difficult.

The Power of Pinterest for Business: Tips and Insights for Pinterest Marketing Strategies Pinterest has emerged as a powerful tool for businesses looking to drive traffic to their websites and grow their online presence. You can leverage Pinterest for business success. Learn different Pinterest marketing strategies, common pitfalls, and practical advice for getting the most out of the platform. Understanding Pinterest: A Search and Discovery Engine Pinterest should be viewed not as a social media platform but as a search and discovery engine, much like Google, with a visual twist. Users flock to Pinterest for ideas and inspiration rather than for social interaction. This key distinction sets it apart from platforms like Instagram, where the emphasis is on social engagement. Think of Pinterest as a library where people come to curate their own lives, in contrast to Instagram's bar-like atmosphere where social interaction is the focus. Should Your Business Be on Pinterest? For businesses that thrive on web traffic—be it for leads, ad income, or other revenue streams—Pinterest can be an invaluable tool. However, its utility varies depending on the nature of the business. For instance, local businesses that rely on a community presence may find Pinterest less effective due to its broad, global reach. Conversely, businesses with a national or international audience can significantly benefit from Pinterest's traffic-driving capabilities. Challenges and Successes with Pinterest Marketing Strategies Many businesses invest years into Pinterest, posting content religiously, and still need help to see significant conversions. The cold nature of Pinterest's audience means that engagement and growth can be slow, often taking six to nine months to see substantial results. While warmer traffic sources like podcasts and summits may yield faster growth, the cold traffic from Pinterest signifies a different kind of success. Given the platform's unique audience behavior, even achieving a steady trickle of email sign-ups from Pinterest is notable.

We often talk about creating a connection from the pin to your website for the pinner. Why? Because this tells them they clicked on the right pin and they are in the right place.
