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. ​ |

Think about being at a party. Someone says in a boring way “There’s some food if you want.” That’s a weak way to get people interested. But what if your friend comes up to you all excited and says “Hey! Sarah made this amazing chocolate cake - you need to try it, it’s right there in the kitchen!” That’s how you get people excited and ready to act. When it comes to online marketing, that’s what holds the power of guiding your audience on exactly what to do next, and we call them CTAs...
Did you know that the average employee working in an enterprise business does over 1,000 copy-paste actions each week? Even someone who uses a computer regularly, we can say, likely performs this action at least 100 times a day without even realizing it. We copy-paste because it's quick and convenient. But what if there was a way to make it even better? And no, I'm not talking about copying someone else's work at all. Copy-pasting is a core function of every device we use today, yet most...
