📌 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. |

Last night, I was reading a Forbes article about connected marketing for 2026. It talked about how big brands are finally treating all their channels as one system, not random posts. And I thought, this is exactly where many online business people get stuck. See, for example, you post on Instagram, write a blog, send an email, but nothing seems linked. The idea is simple. Every channel should help guide one person on one clear path. Start with the first click, build up trust step by step, and...
You sit at your laptop, adjust the gaps, feel good, and press publish. Then someone checks it half asleep on a bus, holding on with one hand, with your whole content packed into a tiny phone screen. Most people do that now. Around 96% use the internet on their phones (Global Overview Report, DataReportal), even if they sometimes use a laptop or desktop (60%) too. Still, mobile is where most of the action happens. So if your content looks good only on your laptop but is hard to read on a...
Let me tell you a secret I wish I knew at the start: When you’re building something online, talking to “everyone” is a waste. Like trying to light a fire with wet matches. No spark, no flame, just effort wasted. What I mean is, you put out content after content, post on almost every social media profile, create countless Pinterest pins, and feel like nobody’s caring. Most people do this, and it feels safe for a while, but the truth is it just gets you nowhere. And finally, yes, you just give...
