Yes, dont sleep on Pinterest! I was experiencing a bit of a depressing summer slump, so I used my extra time to work on Pinterest the past month, i put in an hour a day on it, and YES, I noticed a big uptik in sales! Had a great 4th of July sales day.

I need to try and get my head around it, and muster up the mental energy. I just lack the enthusiasm to be consistent at the moment, given the track record of social media in helping in the marketing of small businesses. I need to get my a** into gear!

Feel there's been a bit of a resurgence in Pinterest lately, I did notice a bit of a slump last year but now they're changing things up a bit recently and introducing video pins etc., so I'm giving those a try. I do feel it drives a huge amount of traffic to my Etsy shop - or that's what my Etsy stats tell me at least, if those can be believed. I'll keep pinning away and see what happens. Thanks for the great advice as usual Kara

i noticed Pinterest loves personal home page direct pins, as you mentioned, the right way written SEO (Title) works right away

@KaraBuntin Жыл бұрын

What do you mean by personal homepage direct pins, would that be things that just go to the homepage of your website? I get more traffic to individual pages.

Hi Kara, Thank you so much for this, do you have any videos on KZfaq which will help with setting up an account the right way & creating pins correctly? Many thanks. Alex :)

I have a Pinterest class, I'm not sure what I have for Pinterest on KZfaq. There could be some stuff on my tutorials channel but I haven't concentrated on making youtube content about Pinterest because I do that for my class.

I'm not sure how long the whole thing is, I tend to change things around in there a lot to keep it updated. You can double-speed the playback.

Everything I listed in my Etsy shop, I added to Pinterest almost right away. Manually, not through Etsy. I don't get any visits from Pinterest, or maybe one every 30 days. I haven't seen on in a while. I basically used the same title and description as I used in my Etsy listing. What am I doing wrong? BTW, one of my most recent Etsy listings is outperforming my most popular item, in the last 30 days, in both visits and favorites.

@KaraBuntin 11 ай бұрын

Pinterest SEO is totally different from Etsy SEO. Pinning the listings directly isn't the best strategy, because you need to get people's attention when they're on Pinterest, and a listing photo probably won't do that. I have a Pinterest class, the Teachable link is in the description of this video, but I'll be doing some more tutorials on my other channel soon: kzfaq.info

@@KaraBuntin I’ve selected the 4 best photos that show off my product. Are you saying the photos I put on Pinterest should be more than just a “product photo”? Should they be more like “my product in action”?

@Amaymay1000 2 ай бұрын

I added 5 pins. Not one showed up on the search. This seems like a big waste of time. I will not proceed further

@KaraBuntin 2 ай бұрын

That's not how Pinterest works. It will take a few days for the pin to get into the system and a few months to get and real traffic. Then a few more months to get real traffic. If you quit after 5 pins it's pointless for sure.

@PhyllisMoon Жыл бұрын

Not sure what you mean about "if you do the SEO the right way in Pinterest". The only option is to tag an Idea Pin & the tags are extremely limited & poor. Could it be you mean using the right keywords in the title & description?

@KaraBuntin Жыл бұрын

They got rid of Idea pins, they're all pins now, which is good. SEO in Pinterest includes text on the title, description, text on the image, the board title, the other things on that board, the url the link is going to, and the content of the page the link goes to. That's the first step, and there's more to it than that because of the interaction algorithm that Pinterest uses. But tags are the least of your concerns for Pinterest!

@@KaraBuntin At least 75% male. The ladies that buy from me for my main sellers, well, I use 'ladies' loosely, lol. Which is why I offer my basic patterns for sale in my vintage/supply shop; if they are so dissatisfied, they can try to make one, and good luck to them. I wish I got feedback from the pattern sales, as it would be good to know how well the makers have done. Crickets, but I do make sales...

@KaraBuntin Жыл бұрын

I find that the fastest way to get people to shut up with their complaining is to give them the pattern and tell them to make it themselves if they're so good at it.
