đź“Ś Here's What You Might Be Doing Wrong on Pinterest
|
When I first started using Pinterest for my blog, I had no idea what to pin. I was posting random images and link them back to my posts and hoping something would stick. Spoiler alert: It didn’t. But after some time, I finally wrapped my head around the core concept that I had completely missed. Pinterest isn’t just a platform for pretty pictures. It’s a search engine. Yes, you may have already heard this, but something you might be doing wrong is not pinning what Pinterest users really want to see. If you’re not creating pins with your core audience in mind, you’re missing out on a massive opportunity to drive traffic and boost sales. 👉 The core concept of Pinterest is visual discovery. In other words, Pinterest helps people explore new ideas and organize visual content they find inspiring or helpful. It’s not just about browsing; it’s about discovering what’s next and saving it for later. And when it comes to who uses Pinterest the most, 70% of its core audience is made up of women, while Gen Z is the fastest-growing demographic, accounting for 42% of the global user base. Well, now here’s where it gets interesting: what should you pin to reach them? The short answer I can give you now is, it depends on your audience, niche, and goals. Your strategy should be personalized. And it’s not about quantity, it’s about making sure your pins hit the mark, and that made me reach my goal of getting around 3M monthly views. With all these things in mind, I’ve gathered 10 pin ideas that will help you make your Pinterest strategy feel more strategic, effective, and aligned with what your audience wants to see. ​Check out the full list of pin ideas here. I have a good feeling these ideas will make it clearer how to use Pinterest. Cheers, Minosh. |

The other day, I saw a brand on Facebook trying really hard to sound young. The video had loud music, quick cuts every second, and big captions jumping on the screen. The person in the video kept saying things like “This product is honestly crazy good,” and “You guys are not ready for this.” Slang everywhere and trendy words in almost every line. But after watching the whole thing, I still didn’t really understand what the product actually did. No clear example. No simple explanation. So even...
The other day, I was thinking about how most people still treat TikTok like a place to scroll when they’re bored. You know, just for watching that random stuff, like someone reviewing a $14 croissant like it’s a life event. Or a guy explaining how to get rich while sitting in a rented Lamborghini. Anyway, you get the idea. But that view is getting old. People now open TikTok and type in questions like they used to do on Google. They want a quick answer they can watch. And believe it or not,...
