I'm pinning 5 pins a day on average. My focus right now is making many blog posts. When i have eg. 500 posts, then i can easily and safely start pinning 20 - 30 pins a day.

Hey, everyone.
Here is an update on my Pinterest journey.
I started this journey two years ago, and I'm still failing, and losing money, given all the time and energy I put in this, (and paid tools).
Where do I start.
The Pinterest account mentioned in the early updates, the one that got hit by an update and spent months trying to recover, I've given up - I failed to recover it. (I believe the account was shadow banned or something). I've deleted the account and started a new one.
As long as the website isn't also shadow banned, then the new account should grow without any issues. (The website is monetized with Journey by Mediavine, I simply need to bring in the traffic).
This is how the analytics looked like before deleting the account:
I had false hope in the end of June, then it died again. Well, I won't be speaking of this account anymore - It's deleted now.
And this is the new account I just started:
I've started by adding pins slowly then will increase it gradually.
-----------------
And her is an update on a different site/Pinterest account.
If you've been following me long enough, then you may remember that I started this journey with an account in fashion niche. The website got banned/suspended on Pinterest, and could not succeed in appealing, so I abandoned the project. After a while, I made a new website (and Pinterest account), the same as the previous one - I only changed the domain extension from dot com to dot co, and transferred all articles to the new site. I tried to grow the Pinterest account with no success, then I abandoned it.
Tried to grow it again, then abandoned it - It's been on and off to this day.
Until recently when I though about deleting the account and even deleting the website and just forget about it. Now I just checked and it looks like the impression are going up, and now I'm confused.
See for yourself:
Now I'm probably going to start adding pins again until when impressions fall again.
This fashion site is not even monetized, so I don't care about it much.
--------------------------
The only thing that's looking promising is this website/Pinterest account that I bought a while ago. My plan was/is to triple the traffic, and I think it can be done.
I've been adding a lot of content and pins, and I'll just keep doing that.
I think I did mention in my previous update that I was having a hard time getting it accepted in an ad platform (Adsense or Mediavine). I got rejected two times by adsense.
Then I had to use an ai to audit the site and give me feedback, after implementing all the suggestions, I saw a notification in the Mediavine dashboard that I have to resubmit the site, when I did, I got accepted right away - It was a relief given that I've been waiting for months.
Now this site is my first priority.
This is how analytics looks like:
-----------------------------------------------
I'll also be starting another site/account in a different niche. (Actually my plan is to have multiple site/account in every popular niche on Pinterest.)
I've been working on semi pipelines and automation for the past months, that would make it possible to run multiple accounts without causing me a headache, or doing to much manual work.
So far I've created a Pinterest account with a couple of boards. And I've curated a list of over 100 articles that I'll make. The website is ready but blank. My plan is to have the articles published first - minimum 70 articles then I can start making pins. I can publish 10 fresh pins everyday, and do the rotation again after one week. (and of course I need to warmup the account a little bit before I start pinning 10 pins everyday).
If you're starting a new site/account, let me know so we can exchange ideas, the process and results.
--------------------------------
Like I said I plan to run multiple account, but I'll be starting one by one - Right now I just have domain names, and I'll be curating blog post ideas and learning everything I can.
-
For the person who likes to ask if I do manual pinning - No I use bulk upload. I fill up a google sheet with all necessary info, download it then upload on Pinterest. I've been pinning like that for the past months and I'll keep doing that.
So far, I'm used to it, that I would fell uncomfortable using a scheduling tool.
