Need Your Ideas for Pinterest Feedback

Great to hear you're considering a Pinterest service xha44a!

The fact you have 20 accounts with a combined following of 200,000 tells me you have built "authority" Pinterest profiles. These would lend themselves more to targeted marketing with great creative content to better engage your audience.

First and foremost I would do some analysis on your followers and determine what niches they would be interested in, clearly if you have 200,000 woman interested in Arts/Crafts they're very unlikely to go for CPA offers on the latest Gadgets etc. Promoting the wrong content is likely going to limit the engagement (clicks, organic repins) and worse still you could loose your audience with unfollows.

Next, I'd selectively offer/sell in "slots per week" for each of the niches you've identified and drip-feed repins over several days, one for each niche. e.g. "Weight loss / dieting", "Homewares", "Food/Drink", "Beauty", "Health/Lifestyle". Make sure the content you're promoting is quality, otherwise it will have a negative impact on your clients results, and could diminish the authority of your network.

Following best practises like those described in this blog post are a good idea:

I have been playing with Pinterest for about a year now and have gone the other way, by creating and automating ~1,000 accounts each with their own "persona" emulating how a real user behaves on Pinterest. Each "persona" was created with a set of interests e.g. one might be "Yoga, Vegan, Life drawing", another would be "Travel, Outdoor activities, Photography" which guides what they will search for, like and repin. They login a few times a week, generally around the same day-of-week and time-of-day, do a handful of activity (pin, repin, link, follow etc.) and then go back to sleep.

I have been thinking about setting up a pinterest service myself and mat do when I get the time? I work in revearse to you. I build niche targted accounts with groups boards added and then hit these with software on vps to drive traffic. My idea was either renting out the accounts with vps access or providing a pinterest traffic service.

Either way the only way I would go is with a monthly reocurring fee. You could build up followers (5000+) on niche targeted accounts, get the board invites and then sell? Or go down the traffic route.... say $50 per month for 5000 "real" niche targeted pinterest visitors.

Loads more ideas but a bit busy at today to post more... plus as you know the best ideas you have to keep to yourself. - Good Luck!

Home decor also seems very popular. And I think that those are the most popular ones. Maybe also try beauty and health.​
