Ask Me Anything About Pinterest (Pinterest AMA)

Pinterest is pretty much dead. There are many, many other places for you to spend your time that will be more effective. Could you possibly get some traction here or there? Sure. But ultimately, it all comes down to dollars earned divided by time spent, and that number will be very low for Pinterest relative to other platforms. This is coming from someone that spent 2 years on it and wrote a bot that generated thousands of accounts. It makes so little for me today that it isn't worth even the bandwidth that it takes to run my bot, or the 5 mins/day it would take to keep it running.

Is not dead to be honest, Pinterest still can get some traffics , clicks on your site I notced.

Are you making lots of money with it? I can get into the technical reasons why if you'd like, but basically...Pinterest has made whatever traffic you do get from the platform, most of which will be from within its mobile app, very difficult to make money with.

Ordered social signals from one guy and next day I get banned on Pinterest.

Any ideas what to do? It was my main brand account.

Pinterest is dead for marketers in 2020, just like other social networks. The "traffics" you are going to get will be minimal and maintaining it at that level will be untenable.

Hi William,

Do you have any knowledge about Pinterest's potential to generate leads and traffic from google search results. I am considering a strategy that will involve optimising my boards/pins/profile to targeted keywords with the goal of obtaining SEO traffic from google.

Cheers.

Hi Guys,

I'm starting this thread as I started a method thread on how to use Pinterest and specifically Pinterest group boards to make money. If you are interested in checking out that thread you can see it here

https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/method-no-cost-easy-way-to-earn-startup-cash-20-100-a-day-pinterest-method.939656/

It has had a lot of replies so reading through the whole thing can seem a bit daunting but there is a lot of great info in there from all of the questions that have been asked. Its due to the fact I get a lot of general Pinterest questions there that I am starting this ask me anything thread for everyone's benefit that want o know and learn more about Pinterest in a general sense.

If you have a question about Pinterest feel free to ask and I will answer the best I can with my personal take on it. I'm no expert by any means. I have used Pinterest with a some success with promoting eCommerce products and other websites. I make a few thousand dollars a month just from selling some pins and invites to people. Back in the early days of Pinterest we were named one of the top ten shops using Pinterest to promote a brand by some big blogger which sent a lot of traffic and connections our way. if it was not for that person saying that I would not have connected with half of the people I did and would not know the things I do now so if anything that helped a lot and helped us achieve a level of knowledge closer to what they were eluding to in the post lol.

As I say I'm in no way an expert but I feel like a know a few things that if shared would benefit some people so ask away and I'll be happy to help.

I would like to ask whether Pinterest will still work, or is there less and less traffic on the network? Thanks in advance for your reply!

Don't put your effort into pinterest, it is not worth your time, it is not like as last year.

Sure not all but some spammers banned by PT and now it will be the era of clean and organic workers PT is alive, content is the King God save the King

 

[cockus]

are there any pros or cons of uploading a lot of fresh original pins every day to your Pinterest account? I mean, are there any penalties or something?

What is the best browser to login multiple pinterest accounts?

To all those asking questions. I posted this comment back in July 2020

Sadly the time has come for me to stop replying to this thread. Too many vague questions like "How can I grow my traffic" or requests for me to help people who are having technical difficulties with the site. I have nothing to do with Pinterest and have not logged in to the site fora LONG time. I have everything automated and I have discussed this ad nauseam in this thread and others. Also I simply don't have the time at the moment and don't want people to think I am just ignoring them.

I hope that some of you are still able to get some of your questions answered by the content that is already in this thread. Good luck!

To all those quoted below I hope you all find the answers you were looking for.

Hi, @William702
I want to ask how can i.... joke.
What smartloop daily pin limit, how much? Now I'm pining ~30 pins per day with my loops, is it possible to do 100 per day?

Regards and thanks for this thread!

I started using Mother/Child Method 5 months ago
I created more than 150 Pinterest Accounts
it's been 2 weeks I bought RDP and Proxies I started the automation accounts
my main account have 1k followers and the other 150 account have between 100 >> 500 followers
and I post manually on my main account
there are about 60k Impressions but I have not yet seen the clicks and repen my photos only the bots who repen my photos
I wonder is this it is because I am at the beginning and the clicks will increase with time or I make mistakes ?

Can u tell me which proxies are working fine now with pinterest?

Thanks for all your contributions to this thread. I have read many of your threads, and you stand above nearly everyone else on this site in terms of helping people out with solid, actionable ideas.

What would be the main things I should keep in mind to be able to grow my Pinterest account efficiently? I am pro-organic growth, and prefer to offer quality content as I keep a genuine engagement.
I am starting on a new project and I have only used it before to save pins, as a personal account.

Any key elements? Thank you in advance!

In other words: not able to make money using Pinterest anymore

 

[dekadent30]

How to rank a pin in google? I saw many pins in top10 google for easy and medium keywords. I have checked them - no backlinks. Maybe just 10s of "saves" ranked them. I don't know, what do you think? I would like to use pinterest as parasites.

Not sure why or how one could interpret it that way but each to their own I guess
