Ask Me Anything About Pinterest (Pinterest AMA)

My pleasure. I hope I can give you the info you need. It really depends on the product. As we all know the landing pages fro most ClickBank products are garbage so you will have to do some work first in creating good landing pages or articles mentioning the products. I think articles are nice and easy to share on Pinterest. Maybe some nice infographic giving info on the topic to build interest and give reasons as to why the product in the article will solve the issues or work along side the things mentioned in the infographic. I would not straight up share a ClickBank link as this might get your account noticed by Pinterest or reported by some sad idiot with nothing better to do. So my advice would be to create a nice article or landing page to share as opposed to a straight up affiliate link.



I have read many articles on how Pinterest traffic is some of the best when it comes to selling products online. Given how people feel about Pinterest and what they use it for it's the perfect platform for sharing products and getting traffic and sales. Instagram is for posting things you aspire to or want to do. Pinterest is for posting things you aspire to have so its a sellers dream. A photo or image of something needs to be magazine quality to do well though. people want to share things that look nice on their boards. People wont really repin something unless they want it or if it is spreading a message of some kind or shows their support of something. In my mind Pinterest traffic is organic traffic. If you are not using their ad system then any traffic is a result of someone just browsing Pinterest and following a pin of yours or that someone shared of yours so its pretty organic. In any case organic traffic where someone is searching for you will always be better than the "window shopper" type traffic of people generally browsing and coming across something.



If you are just starting out you have a few options and i also recommend doing the following before getting started. Create 15+ boards. 15 is enough more is better. Add at least 15+ pins to each board. So lets say you you want to make a board about fancy shoes. Lets say you name the board "dress shoes" Once you have named the board and added a brief description like:

"Here are some of my favorite dress shoes from Pinterest. These are the best dress shoes I could find. Please feel free to contact me and ask to be a collaborator on this board and I will be happy to invite you so you can add your favorite dress shoes too. You can email me at blahblah@blah blah to request and invite"

Repeat this for other more specific boards pertaining to the niche you cover and fill out your profile. Yes it will take you about one hour but you will have a solid profile that NO one will suspect. Put an avatar of a dog up that's running on the beach or an old woman holding a baby and look like a real person instead of using a picture of a pretty girl. You will get way better results and way more replies when it comes to getting board invites.

To fill the boards with pins just do a search for Dress shoes and repin the top most pinned items. They are the sort of thing people will share, the more pins you share that others repin the more exposure your account will get and is suspect Pinterest's algorithms work like Facebook's in the way that the more a persons stuff is interacted with the more it is shown. It will take just a minute or two to repin a dozen or more good pins to a board that will make your board and subsequently your profile look legit.

Now that you have a good looking profile you can go out and get invited to boards. Go to Fiverr and buy access to some for $5 bucks. use a bunch of providers to get some. I have never done this as i have not needed to as I built mine up over time. However If i was starting today that would be the way i would get access to a bunch to begin with. Once you have a few you can then use my favorite method of asking people if they want to trade. Once you have 10 or 20 solid boards you can reach out to people and say stuff like

"Hi there I see you are a member of a bunch of great group boards for (insert niche) I am a member of a few too and was wondering if you would like to trade? I can invite you to these boards (list your boards you think they would like) and if you would like you could invite me to these boards (list their boards that you want) I'm not sure if you are familiar with inviting people to boards but its very easy. all you have to do is press the edit button when you are on a board and paste my name in there and that's it. Not every board is open to all members inviting but it will tell you if only the admin of a board can invite people so don't worry if it does not let you invite me to all of them. Any that it will allow you to invite me to would be great. If you have any questions at all please feel free to get back to me but if you don't want o then that's no problem. I just found your beautiful profile and boards and thought I would reach out. If you want to take a look at my profile and all of my boards feel free to go here (give pinterest profile list)Thanks for your time and I hope you have a great day."

I would advise following them first and waiting a day before sending them this message. If they dont get back to you dont pester them just move on to the next person. You can basically double your boards by doing this and make some great connections. I would also advise always offering to invite them to all of your boards or at least way more than you are asking for in return. this makes it a lot harder for them to turn it down. Another top tip is to be friendly and trustworthy, dont come across all untrustworthy. Always invite them first or offer to at the very least, that way they wont be worrying if you will invite them. If they dont get back to you or brush you off dont get all out of shape over it just move on to the next person. If they dont invite you back oh well just move on.

After just a few days you could have access to hundreds of really great boards. I find the best way to find boards is to look at other peoples profiles. if they are a member of a group board chances are they are a member of more so follow it back to their profile and if they do have a bunch reach out to them. Most people don't even know they can invite other people to boards so just reaching out to them and asking can be a great way to educate them and get something out of it in the process.

this block of text right here is complete pure gold.

when you do the outreach, do you do it via messages or comments? which would give a higher return rate? i haven't had much luck with messages in the past

Are you talking things like fifty shades of gray or are you talking straight up porn? if its full on adult stuff then no it does not mix that well. There are not really that many boards for it etc.

No, not porno.

Thank you! I hope it helps you build your presence on Pinterest. I typically reach out to people if I can follow their profile, shop back to a place where I can email them from. If its a person on a bunch of group boards chances are they are selling something. Follow their links back and message them at that location. I don't do it on Pinterest because their message and comment system is a joke.

No, not porno.

I'm really not sure how well it would do. Try a test.

Got it! so in this case, it doesn't really matter if the person is the board owner? Just as long as they're part of the board? I've found a lot of board owners I found weren't selling stuff and were impossible to contact haha

More often than not the board will be open to anyone inviting to it. but with the recent changes people are becoming more aware and may have changed

 

[Meryssa]

For the website, it is better to create a boards under the name of the site or create profile for it?

 

[ryflex]

1. how to get more views on a pin? ( the method )
   
   
2. how get my pins go popular?
   
   
3. for now i just repost pin on my main account and repost all board with other 6 accounts ( account bot) this could be a good method for get views?

as a quick update, i've found that there have only been a few Fiverr Pinterest board sellers (guessing a bunch got banned). sadly none were in my niche know of any other places to buy?

How do you get traffics on Pinterest? I've tried some but they dont work. Hope you can help out

 

[William702]

You can do both. Either way I would create a business profile for any business I have. On that profile you can then create some boards with that name or variations of it if you want.

1) There are many methods for this, it all depends on your budget and how much time you have and what you are promoting. Lots of things are not a good fit for Pinterest so it all depends.
2) this is really the same question as number one.
3) not really, you need to pin it in places where there are real people who can view and interact with it, a few bots wont do much good if all they are doing is repining it to their own profiles. They key to scaling Pinterest is group boards.
4) like i mentioned above just repining it to a few bot accounts wont do much for you.

Do u know any app to schedule the pin posts?

I personally use tailwind at the moment but there are lots out there.

can we use crak offers on pinterest ?

I dont know what crak offers is I'm afraid but if you are referring to crakrevenue then that's a question for them. I imagine as long as you dont break any TOS then it will be fine. But I have never used that company so I am not the best person to ask about that.

as a quick update, i've found that there have only been a few Fiverr Pinterest board sellers (guessing a bunch got banned). sadly none were in my niche know of any other places to buy?

Lol I know I see them coming and going on a daily basis, but what do they expect when they advertise it so blatantly. The #1 method by a long long way is to trade with other members. You dont even have to trade group boards. You could ask them to invite you to boards if you dont have anything already and offer them something else. The vast majority of the boards I am a member of I just asked other members to invite me to, they were not even the people who created the boards. Seriously no need to buy any, just send a nice polite message to some of the members (find contact details off of Pinterest, like an email or blog) and ask them to invite you. I'm not going to lie its fucking easy for me because I own all of these massive pages on fb for the niches I cover and twitter accounts so I can offer them a shoutout or something like a google review to get them to invite me, also owning some of those web properties lends itself well to them trusting me and believing that I wont do anything that could get anyone banned and have some credibility.

This has been covered already, please feel free to read the entire thread and I'm sure you will have more insight or be able to ask a more specific question pertaining to your needs.

Well something must have happened. Someone probably spammed a link if that link is banned or the link at one time lead to something harmful. it's one or the other. Pinterest wont just ban links for no reason whatsoever. So what part of the story is missing here? Did you pay for people to promote a link at any point. what is the content of the site in question.

 

[thetoothfairy]

I'm looking for some advice. I only use Pinterest to drive traffic to my website. I have tried other social networking like Twitter and Facebook with no luck. I built up a Pinterest account using SM2, which I stopped using a few months ago. I have been manually pinning to boards and following people. My website was marked as spam on Pinterest today after having a viral event a few weeks ago. I have had problems with my account ever since that event. So I still have my Pinterest account with over 60,000 pins leading to a website that has been marked as spam and not getting clicks. I have another domain I bought awhile ago that is relevant to my niche, but I don't have hosting on it or a site built for it. Should I get hosting for that domain and clone my site to it? Then change the links on Pinterest to direct to the new site? I don't know what to do. I put all my eggs in one basket with this one and now I'm screwed. I have been in contact with Pinterest for the past few weeks and woke up to this today. What is the easiest way to do this? Please keep in mind I am a beginner with not much experience at all. Thanks in advance for your help!

Have you tried changing the host of your siteam to see if it can be in banned? How agressive you are on Pinterest that you get the website banned? Do you promote the Website on multiple accounts? How many pins a day do you make?
