I’m at a point in my business where I’m pretty tired of all the click-bait articles that promise me explosive sales and pageviews. I’ve clicked a lot of them and they’ve let me down. Never mind the fact that most ‘how-to’ posts don’t ever tell you ‘how-to’ do anything. So annoying.

Turns out there is no formula for making your business a success. You’ve got to march to the beat of your own drum so to speak. Your business, your rules.

So that’s what I’ve done with my Pinterest strategy. I’ve made it my own and this strategy has been working really well for me.

Here are some of my stats:

  • Monthly Pinterest viewers: 3.7 million

  • Monthly Pinterest engaged viewers: 132K

  • Number of Pinterest followers: 12k

  • Blog monthly pageviews from Pinterest: 28K

  • Pinterest accounts for about 30% of my Etsy shop views.

My sincere hope and belief is that this simple Pinterest strategy can work for you too, but I’m not going to sit here and promise you explosive results. That’s crap and I won’t do it. All I can do is share the strategies that work for me.

Above are my personal stats, but Tailwind (the Pinterest scheduler I use, but which isn’t a requirement for this strategy to work) also publishes Tailwind for Pinterest Members, so you can see the average growth rate for their members.

If you give my strategy a try, try it for a minimum of 60 days. That should definitely be enough time to see if it’s working for you. You should see your followers start to grow daily and your views go up dramatically. You’ll know it’s working for you when the process doesn’t feel like a huge chore but you’re still getting great results.
