Introduction: Wait… Pinterest for Business?
Yes, you read that right. Pinterest isn’t just wedding ideas and aesthetic food boards—it’s a search engine in disguise.
In fact, many bloggers and digital marketers get more traffic from Pinterest than from Google.
And the best part? It’s free and long-lasting.
📌 Why Pinterest Works (And It’s NOT Just Social Media)
Most platforms push content down the feed fast. But Pinterest is different. It’s:
-
Searchable (like Google)
-
Visual (like Instagram)
-
And evergreen (pins stay alive for months, even years)
That means your blog posts, products, or services can get seen long after posting.
💡 It’s not a “post and pray” platform—it’s a “pin it and grow” machine.
🧠 Pinterest Basics You Need to Know
-
Pinterest = visual search engine, not a social network
-
You create Pins (vertical graphics) that link to your content
-
Users search for ideas like:
-
“Instagram growth tips”
-
“Small business marketing”
-
“Free digital marketing tools”
-
“Work from home setup”
-
If your pin shows up, and they click… BAM! Website traffic.
🎯 How to Use Pinterest to Drive Traffic
✅ 1. Set Up a Business Account
-
Switch to a Pinterest Business profile
-
Claim your website
-
Add a keyword-rich bio and profile name
Example: Mannat Goyal | Digital Marketing Tips & Tools
✅ 2. Create Boards Around Your Niche
Each board should target a niche keyword. For example:
-
“Freelance Marketing Tips”
-
“SEO for Beginners”
-
“Social Media Strategy India”
-
“Pinterest for Business Growth”
Use board descriptions with keywords too—Pinterest loves context.
✅ 3. Design Click-Worthy Pins
Use Canva to create vertical pins (1000×1500 px).
Add:
-
Eye-catching title
-
Brand colors & logo
-
Keywords in filename + alt text
-
Call to Action like “Read the Full Blog” or “Save This!”
🎨 Pro tip: Repin older blogs with fresh designs to revive them.
✅ 4. Write Keyword-Rich Descriptions
When uploading a pin:
-
Add 2–3 relevant keywords
-
Use 2–3 niche hashtags
-
Make the first sentence super engaging
Example:
“Struggling to grow on Instagram? This blog post shares 5 free tools to get more engagement fast! #SocialMediaMarketing #PinterestTips”
✅ 5. Be Consistent
Pin daily if possible. Even 3–5 fresh pins a week can work.
Use tools like Tailwind or Pinterest’s native scheduler.
📈 Real Results: What You Can Expect
-
Pinterest accounts can grow from 0 to 50K+ monthly viewers in a few months
-
Even a small account can send 30–100 visits per day to your blog
-
Pins compound over time → old content keeps bringing new traffic
And guess what? All this can happen without spending a single rupee 💸
