02:32 – How did Vanessa get into doing Pinterest for business
05:07 – Pinterest: a visual search engine, not social media
- When you post on social media, the traffic & engagement happens immediately and then die down after a few days.
- When you first pin on Pinterest, not much is happening with that pin right off the bat, but over time, it starts to build more engagement and bring new traffic even a year or two later.
07:26 – The best Pinterest gameplan to have for your business
Identifying your target audience – what do they search for; what do they like; what kind of boards do they have – is the first step.
After that, provide valuable content for your target audience – a before-and-after video of your project, or a video with a few interior design tips.
10:04 – Why you need a blog to grow online
Having a blog provides more information about your Pins.
It helps build trust with you and learn more from you.
It makes you come off as an expert.
Pinterest loves fresh content, and having a blog gives you new blog posts every so often, where you can pin those fresh blog posts.
12:31 – Another way to grow your business using Pinterest is to pin to your social media posts
14:28 – Pinterest SEO for local audience targeting
Add keywords related to either your local city or your state

Incorporate keywords in your Pinterest bio
20:12 – Tips for pinning on Pinterest
Try different pins, such as plain images and images with text overlays, and see what works best for your audience.
Don’t pin to the same page too much. Instead, pin to different links like blog posts or social media posts.

Use Pinterest to repurpose your social media content, then give it time because it will be worth the investment.
