Pinterest is a search and discovery platform. It thrives on creators sharing their ideas, products, and experiences in order to support the pinners. Pinners are looking for ideas, products or experiences to enhance their lives, dream into the future, and discover something new. The hard part about that is the burden of creating content can feel overhwelming and tough.

As a creator we’re looking to leverage all of these platforms that are asking us to create content that is engaging, new, different, and so much more. If we cater to one platform will it work for the other platform? What if something works on google but doesn’t work on Pinterest?

Or maybe you know that a trend is going crazy on Pinterest but you’re not really sure your main website readers will like it. The spin and tornado swirling around content creators can feel suffocating and crush creativity before it even gets started.

This is part 3 of our 3 part series about troubleshooting your Pinterest marketing. I don’t want to fill your brain with more ideas, but I want you to just listen and take ahold of one thing. And at the end, walk away with something that feels doable and approachable.

I also want to share a recent article that Pinterest put out about creator burnout. Not only was the timing good, but it’s important that a platform driving a force for good and positivity address the issue by bringing it out into the light instead of just heaping on more responsibility.

Intro - Call to Action: Before we dive in I want to highlight a product we have that may help create a deeper connection with your audience. It’s called the Pinner Persona project. It’s a video teaching that will help you use tools to figure out how to create content and pin images that target the exact peson you hope to reach on Pinterest. Not only is this good for organic Pinterest marketing but when you’re ready to dive into Pinterest Ads this will support your efforts there as well. Simply click on the link in teh description or go to the simplepinshop.com and search pinner persona.

Keywords have been a part of the Pinterest ecosystem for over 10 years. It’s how pins get surfaced when pinners are searching. How pins end up in their home feed after they have previously searched for a product or topic. Without keywords we wouldn’t have Pinterest. So then as a marketer what’s the problem? Why are people struggling so much to use keywords?

I’ve convered this topic extensively in the last 9 years. I went back to look through all the posts and lost count. I’ve tried to get creative with how I’ve covered the topic and sometimes you just need to call it like you see it and say the quiet part outloud. That’s what I’m sharing in this short but sweet episode today. Stay with us.

Let’s talk about volume vs. conversion and how that relates to your Pinterest marketing strategy. There are two camps of people in my community – those who want more traffic and those who want more sales. There are some that have both but more often than not one of those goals wins out. Add to it the frustration of the internet changing and you have a lot of confused, overwhelmed, and frustrated people. But I would argue the frustration isn’t always about what’s happening TO us but it’s the lack of a clear understanding of our business model and what our ultimate goal is. So the question I’m asking today is what’s the difference between volume and conversion goals in online business and can you achieve both, especially with Pinterest marketing.
