Can you get Massive Pinterest Traffic to your business?
By having an account with Pinterest and simply pinning
will not get you many results.
Take a closer look to my recommended 15 Pinterest
Strategy Tips to Get Your Pins go Viral and start getting
well-deserved traffic to your site.

1 Usingphotobadgesinyourpins.
One of the most effective ways to refer traffic to your website is by
creating photo badges and adding them at the top of your blog
post as a featured image. Here are few added tips if you will be
using photo badges in your Pinterest posts:
Use only real photos – real photos as background usually get more
traction as compared to using text only over a plain background
Write your best blog post titles – the better the titles are, the
better that this technique will work for you!
Use light and appealing colors – never use dark or neutral colors in
your Pinterest posts.

2 Alwaysgetyourtimingrightwhen
postingpins.
The window frame for your Pinterest post to get viral is as meager as 20-30
minutes. Your pins, however, stay on your pinboards and on rare occasions
will be picked up by a user and will be repinned a few times. But the number
of Pinterest users who will bother to pick up your old pins is minuscule.
You need to think about your own Pinterest Strategy when it comes to
pinning your images. Timing is everything.
Always ensure that you pin your images when the greatest number of users
in Pinterest will see them.
For most niches, the best time to post is between 6am and 6pm, Eastern
Time. (Take note though that this is not a rule of thumb)
The wiser strategy is to look at your traffic stats and analyze which time it
usually reaches your audience.

3 AlwaysPinNewstufftoyourboards.
The more creative you get, the better chances you have to get
repined by other users in Pinterest.
Pinners love new stuff and original content. Be original and take
chances once in a while to analyze the interest of your audience.
Pin new and interesting content on a daily basis will help increase
your followers.

4 Gatherexceptionalcontent.
To be an awesome curator, you need to gather and post awesome
content related to your niche.
Your job as an online curator serves the same purpose as to art
curators gathering artifacts for museums and galleries – you have
to gather, organize and display the best items.
To be a good Pinterest curator, you need to pick the best images
and organize these images in a way that your core audience will
find them interesting.

5 Neverpinonlyyourownstuff
mostofthetime.
Curating might be tempting enough to let you post only images
from your own website.
Remember to always resist this urge. If you are only pinning your
own stuff as a pinner, it will be a huge failure! You will fail to see
the consistent flow of targeted traffic you wanted.
Always stick to posting good content from other places aside from
your website.
Remember to have a balanced mix of the business pins and
personal pins.
If you are building your brand, show your pinners that you are a real
human and you will absolutely get more followers.

6 Giveyouraudiencewhattheywant.
Make it a habit to review your source page (which is laid out like
this: [ https://www.pinterest.com/source/annazubarev.com/
] and you’ll need to replace your Pinterest ID instead of mine, as
what you see here)
This will give you a clear idea of what your audience are pinning
from your site.
By regularly checking out your website source page, you can easily
assess which images are resonating among Pinterest users.

7 BuildyourPinterestaccount.
Your primary aim in Pinterest is to get massive amounts of traffic.
To obtain this goal, you need to get a lot of followers.
You can get a lot of followers by simply pinning at peak hours,
following other people and cross-posting your pins on Twitter and
Facebook.
Showing some personality can also do the trick.

8 HostDiscussions.
Pinterest can be a great avenue where you can host discussions.
Doing this can help you gain more interaction to your posts and
probably help you receive more comments on your Pinterest
images.
These discussions can be found in Facebook groups related to
Pinterest and also on Twitter by applying a Hashtag and a Keyword
related to the chat you are interested in joining for a discussion.

9 SponsorAwesomeCompetitions

Overdoing contests on Pinterest can have a negative effect on your
business.
Critics may say that you are using contests to buy followers.
To avoid this, think of contests on Pinterest that don’t suck.
The contest must be exciting enough for you to get more followers
without the negative connotation.

10 BrandyourphotosonPinterest.
Always add your brand in your photos as not all visitors may be
from direct links that can be found in your descriptions.
A great tip is to include your website link at the corner of all your
pins.
Just like you see a very large image on the bottom of this post.

11 UseVideos
YouTube is a great avenue for brand awareness.
If you’re not utilizing YouTube for your Pinterest Marketing as of
the moment, you should start using it now.
You can combine high quality videos with a couple of social media
sites like Pinterest – and the results will be endless.

12 UtilizingInfographicsinyourpins.
It is much easier for your content to go viral when you put your
content in images for your infographics.
I definitely recommend that you format your images as infographics
to gain more audience in Pinterest.

13 Correctlystructureyourimageson
Pinterest.
Structure your images on Pinterest by posting quotes related to
your business, graphs and statistics, infographics and even
testimonials.
Always add branding to your photos simply by including your
website URL in the corner of your images.

14 StayupdatedonfortheHolidays.
If you are a keen observer, you will notice that you’ll see pins for
national holidays 2 months ahead of the actual schedule.
This only goes to show that as a blogger, you need to be ahead of
the holiday curve.
Pin for the holidays a few days before the said date.
This will help increase your traffic in a way.

15 OptimizeyourPinterestposts.
Optimizing your posts is as simple as adding image titles as well as
alt tags.
Always take the time to ensure that your descriptions are correct
but most pinners will repin your image as is.
Adding keywords and alt tags ensures that you are still targeting
the right audience.
