That is, <a href=\"https:\/\/tailwindapp.com\/blog\/pinterest-strategy-101-buyer-persona\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>who is your customer<\/strong><\/a>? Whether you call this fictional representation of your ideal or typical customer an &#8220;avatar,&#8221; &#8220;buyer persona,&#8221; or something else, it helps you get clearly in mind who you are talking to &#8211; and that will help you be more effective no matter the marketing channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">If you don&#8217;t have that person clearly in mind, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/buyer-persona-research\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">start here<\/a>. A few things you&#8217;ll want to know are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Demographic information &#8211; age, gender*, location, job, income and education levels, family status (so many Pinners are moms!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interests &#8211; not just those related to your business<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How does she make decisions? On impulse, or with a lot of analysis?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Where does she get her information? List particular publications\/websites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What challenges or life situations lead her to your business?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What questions might she ask in her journey to discovering you?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What does she REALLY want from you? Think beyond the product and service you offer. Is what she&#8217;s really buying more time with her kids or greater success for her business?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The answers to your questions above are going to inform the rest of your strategy. Ideally , you&#8217;ll have interviewed some of your best customers to find out the answers. If that&#8217;s not possible, think of your one favorite customer and find out as much as you can about her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">*Note: While the majority of Pinners in the US are women, the it&#8217;s more evenly split in other countries, and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.pinterest.com\/en\/150-million-people-finding-ideas-pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">50% of new Pinterest users are men<\/a>. I&#8217;ll refer to your customer\/Pinner as &#8220;her,&#8221; but don&#8217;t forget the guys!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-know-your-pinterest-marketing-goals\">Know Your Pinterest Marketing Goals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Pinterest is great for driving website traffic, which can lead to email signups and sales. It can also help increase awareness of your brand or products. Don&#8217;t get too caught up in follower count &#8211; followers mean nothing if they don&#8217;t go to your site. Remember that <a href=\"https:\/\/tailwindapp.com\/blog\/pinterest-not-social-network\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pinterest is NOT a social network<\/a> but is a search and discovery engine will help you shape appropriate goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">If you need to set a target for how much traffic Pinterest should drive to be worth your time, figure that out, but realize that it will take several months before you start to approach that goal. It&#8217;s a long game, but the work you do now will pay off for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pinterest-strategy-prep-get-your-keywords-in-mind\">Pinterest Strategy Prep &#8211; Get Your Keywords in Mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Your Pinterest keywords might not be EXACTLY like the keywords you use for Google SEO, but they&#8217;ll be pretty close. Start with your standard keywords (or just what you think they should be) and do some <a href=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/using-pinterest-keyword-research-235557\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pinterest keyword research<\/a>. Once you have your list, you&#8217;re ready to move on! Keep the list handy and be ready to add to it when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prepare-to-exercise-patience\">Prepare to Exercise Patience!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Pinterest is a long game. The work you do now may not pay off for a few months, but once it starts to deliver results, these typically snowball. The work you do today can bring you website traffic, leads, and sales for months and even years to come &#8211; even if you were to stop Pinning someday. But you won&#8217;t. \ud83d\ude09&nbsp;<a name=\"\u201cprofile\u201d\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-create-a-standout-pinterest-profile\">1.

Add them to your business name and description on your profile. While people may not often search for profiles specifically, Pinterest&#8217;s algorithms do look for keywords.

They&#8217;re often group boards. You&#8217;ll likely want to keep all of your top ones, but click through to the Pin inspector and see what&#8217;s going on with the individual Pins on each board. Is one crazy-viral Pin skewing your numbers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pinterest Analytics<\/strong> &#8211; Look at <a href=\"https:\/\/analytics.pinterest.com\/profile\/?tab=clicks&amp;app=all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Website &gt; Clicks<\/a>&nbsp;and scroll down to see the boards with the most clicks in the last 30 days. If any of those boards are yours, keep them &#8211; they send traffic to your site. Also, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/analytics.pinterest.com\/profile\/?tab=clicks&amp;app=all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Profile &gt; Clicks<\/a>. These may not be sending traffic to your site (the clicks could be on your Pins to other people&#8217;s site), but people are clicking on Pins in them, so if the board is a good fit for your content, keep it and start Pinning your own content there!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">You might also enjoy this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplepinmedia.com\/clean-pinterest-boards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">board audit process from Simple Pin Media<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-pinterest-boards-should-i-create\">What Pinterest Boards Should I Create?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">This process can be used to rehabilitate existing boards, but let&#8217;s assume we are starting from zero. The first consideration for creating Pinterest boards is &#8211; where will my content fit? Every Pinner should <strong>have a Pinterest board for the content they create<\/strong>. Eighty percent of the Pins on Pinterest are repins (saves), so if you can make a board with only your own content on it, you&#8217;ve made a unique resource. It can also serve as a virtual portfolio for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Look at <strong>the categories of topics you cover<\/strong> on your site. Each one of those should be a board. Remember to use your keywords here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Now, <strong>let your audience tell you<\/strong> which additional boards you need. Go to Analytics &gt; People you reach &gt; Interests and look at &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/analytics.pinterest.com\/audience\/?tab=interests&amp;app=all&amp;audience_type=all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Boards with lots of your Pins<\/a>.&#8221; This will tell you how people are characterizing your Pins and lead you to create new boards. It may lead to new keywords for you as well!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/twprod.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-04-at-3.08.19-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12007 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">With these results in mind, if I don&#8217;t have a &#8220;Teaching Ideas&#8221; board already, I will soon!

But there may be more crossover than is immediately obvious. Here, I might create a &#8220;healthy classroom snacks&#8221; board or &#8220;Inspirational quotes for teachers&#8221; and more. This allows you to fill the needs of your audience even if you to not necessarily create that content or sell a completely related product. When you share great content your audience wants, <strong>your content will get more exposure<\/strong> as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>Group boards<\/strong> can be highly effective for getting your content seen and shared. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tailwindapp.com\/marketing\/tools\/pinterest\/group-board-finder?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=cta&amp;utm_campaign=2024-group-board-finder&amp;page=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tailwind&#8217;s Pinterest Group Board Finder<\/a> can help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tailwindapp.com\/marketing\/tools\/pinterest\/group-board-finder?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=cta&amp;utm_campaign=2024-group-board-finder&amp;page=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">find group boards in your niche<\/a>.

See which boards they&#8217;ve created. Pay particular attention to the ones they use in their profile showcase. If they&#8217;re paying attention, those SHOULD be their top boards.

The easiest, fastest way to do this is with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tailwindapp.com\/pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tailwind<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Next, <strong>add your post to any relevant <a href=\"https:\/\/tailwindapp.com\/blog\/introducing-tailwind-tribes-work-faster-grow-faster-together\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tailwind Communities <\/a><\/strong>to increase your reach as others Pin your content, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>Pin any still-relevant content you created before you started Pinning<\/strong>. You might find it helpful to export a list of all your blog post URLs and put them in a spreadsheet. <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/export-all-urls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">It&#8217;s pretty easy in WordPress<\/a>. Just mark them off as you schedule them. You can also schedule the entire list out and then start over again. It is a good idea to <a href=\"https:\/\/business.pinterest.com\/en\/set-yourself-up-for-success\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">share your content more than once<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>Create new, better, or just additional images<\/strong> for your blog posts. Giving people multiple options to get to the same piece of content increases your chances of raising website traffic! Start with your best-converting pages and make just one or two additional images to Pin each week.<br>\n<a name=\"\u201ccuration\u201d\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-pinning-strategy-content-curation-and-collaboration\">4. Pinning Strategy &#8211; Content Curation and Collaboration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Unless you blog five times a day and have been at it for years, you don&#8217;t have enough content to ONLY Pin your own articles. Even if you did,<strong> there is value in Pinning other people&#8217;s content<\/strong>. Why? <a href=\"https:\/\/tailwindapp.com\/blog\/pinterest-smart-feed-pin-visibility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pinning quality content from high-quality domains tells Pinterest you are a quality Pinner<\/a> &#8211; and that helps all your Pins get seen more. So, it&#8217;s in our best interests to Pin quality content &#8211; whether we wrote it or not. And let&#8217;s face it, no matter who we are, there is probably someone out there that Pinterest sees as having a higher-quality domain. So, put that to work for you, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">So then, what will you Pin? You can absolutely <strong>repin (save) content you see in your Pinterest feed or in searches<\/strong>. But always make sure you click on the Pin to make sure the link is good. Pinning images with broken links (or leading to spam) can get you flagged, which will hurt all your content eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">One of the best ways to <strong>collaborate AND curate content on Pinterest is by using <a href=\"https:\/\/tailwindapp.com\/blog\/introducing-tailwind-tribes-work-faster-grow-faster-together\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tailwind Communities<\/a><\/strong>. I know, we might be a little bit biased, but it really will save you so much time! When you&#8217;re in a good Community,&nbsp; you&#8217;ll have a constantly-updated stream of quality content from quality domains to Pin whenever you want. AND you&#8217;ll have a Community of people ready and willing to share your content as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">See what some Tailwind members have to say about how Communities has changed their Pinterest strategy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yRQXanwVX5Y\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-the-magic-pinterest-sharing-ratio\">What&#8217;s the Magic Pinterest Sharing Ratio?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">80\/20? 50\/50? Ratios of how many of your own Pins to Pin versus how many Pins from others can be helpful when you&#8217;re just starting out. But like all marketing strategies, <strong>there is no one size fits all.<\/strong> If you only have 20 blog posts, you&#8217;ll need to Pin quite a bit of content from others. Once you have a huge backlog of content, you can Pin a lot more of your own.<br>\n<a name=\"\u201canalytics\u201d\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-keeping-on-top-of-your-pinterest-account-analytics\">5. Keeping on Top of Your Pinterest Account Analytics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">While Pinterest analytics can tell you quite a bit, don&#8217;t ignore Google Analytics or Tailwind Analytics. You&#8217;ll notice we&#8217;re only looking at things which can impact our bottom line &#8211; <strong>clicks and Pin performance<\/strong>!

You can also see which boards those Pins live in. If those are your boards, try to Pin more to them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/analytics.pinterest.com\/profile\/?tab=clicks&amp;app=all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Look at the overall daily clicks from Pinterest to your site<\/a>. How&#8217;s the trend? If it&#8217;s falling, is that a seasonal issue, or should you look at adjusting your strategy?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-google-analytics\">Google Analytics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Look at which Pins are bringing in the most traffic. While you can get that from Pinterest analytics, some feel that Google analytics are more reliable. Find this at&nbsp;Acquisition &gt; All Traffic &gt; Referrals &gt; Pinterest.&nbsp;Acquisition &gt; Social &gt; Network Referrals &gt; Pinterest and then set the Secondary Dimension as &#8220;referral path.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/kristiehill.com\/pinterest-dashboard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">There&#8217;s an easier way to get this. \ud83d\ude42<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look at the pages on your site getting the most Pinterest traffic.

Find this at&nbsp;Acquisition &gt; Social &gt; Network Referrals &gt; Pinterest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Kristie Hill developed a great custom dashboard for Google Analytics that you NEED to have.&nbsp;It will tell you which Pins and content are performing best on Pinterest.
