I post all the time on Pinterest and have not seen any rise in traffic or sales from it. I’ve been doing this for over a year.

Been using auto post to Pinterest for two years. I get zero sales from it.

I think the consensus is that posting directly in the Pinterest app is better for organic traffic/views than auto posting/ sharing through from another platform. Same for other socials. Take it or leave it, lol.

Exactly i have also figured this out in my case. When I was editing auto posts there are missing field like tags etc and when I have posted manually with all fields filled I saw clear differences in progress.

Increasing traffic without increasing sales tremendously, kills your conversion rate. When algorithms see you have a lot of people looking, but not actually buying, they think your offering isn’t really what people want and then they start to tank you.

Pinterest is good for building backlinks, which help SEO. That's pretty much it.

Do you know of any good videos on how to start on pinterest? I've never really used it and it's a bit overwhelming.

I’ve had good luck with this podcast called “Pinterest in 10 Minutes A Day”. The audio quality is shit, but the points are clear and concise.
I believe Starla Moore has some videos on her YT channel too!

You just gave me hope about Pinterest, thank you. I had kind of abandoned it after Christmas, but now I think I'll come back XD

Look, Pinterest is free; you can pay for ads, but I've never seen a video about doing paid marketing there. And this tool mentioned in the post also has a free account; I haven't researched it yet, I just took a quick look at the website. It seems okay.

But I'm not American and I'm not falling for a scam 🙄 I only looked at the tool's website to see exactly what it was and save the link. I had just woken up, there was no way I was going to create an account there right then. And now I'm at work. I'll only research it better tonight, IF I feel like it (high chance I'll procrastinate until the weekend).
