Expertise
So much more
than pretty pictures
If you have a feeling there is more to Pinterest than meets the eye, you're right.
If you have no idea where to begin with Pinterest, or if you're feeling overwhelmed by the learning curve, I can help.
Let's Start at the Beginning.
PINTEREST IS A SEARCH ENGINE
Not a social media platform.
You've likely heard this before. Pinterest is a visual search engine. It's more accurate to compare it with Google or YouTube than Facebook and Instagram.
Users retreat to Pinterest for introspective time, to specifically NOT interact with others. It's basically "un-social media." Users know there will be no unwanted political banter, annoying selfies, or photos of "perfect" lives on display cluttering up in their feed. Instead, they'll be greeted with a refreshing collection of images their prior search history has curated specifically for them to explore.
Pinterest users spend time here in discovery mode. They want to be inspired. They're looking for ideas on topics from vacation destinations to birthday party themes, recipes, fashion trends, home decor and everything inbetween.
More importantly, they're dreamers in planning mode for future events and even future versions of themselves.
Think about that!
That means people planning life events (weddings, babies, new home decorating) or "trying on" internal or external lifestyle changes like becoming a vegan, an artist, a blogger, a DIY-er, etc. are all just scrolling around looking for new ideas and products to improve themselves and their lives.
They're also using the search bar and looking up very specific topics that interest them. If you put engaging content in front of them, there's a good chance they will look at it.
This is where the search engine part comes in. Just like optimizing your website for Google to find you, it's important to optimize the content you want to get noticed for Pinterest SEO, otherwise no one will find the amazing content you're creating!
How do you do that? Keywords. (And of course, some pretty pictures!)
Users want inspiration.
They're planners.

CAN PINTEREST MARKETING BE DIY?
Yes!
That's exactly what I did.
I bootstrapped it with tons of trial and error, until I started hitting brick walls and discovering Pinterest is constantly changing its game - which forces marketers to always be on their toes.
I decided to start looking for help. I found out who the REAL influencers were online who didn't mind sharing their trade secrets and seemed to actually know what they were talking about. I invested in online courses, listened to podcasts, read blog articles and books, joined Facebook groups, poured over Google Analytics, and dedicated myself to my first beta client, for over a solid year. I lived and breathed Pinterest.
As soon as I felt like a had a solid handle on my strategy and was getting results, Pinterest changed it's algorithm. Luckily the influencers I had come to trust didn't let me down. They held the hands of their faithful students and we fought our way back to solid ground together.
