Pinterest Advice

I started a Pinterest account leaning towards female spirituality and all that good stuff. All of my pins have been doing far better than any of the other niches I've attempted and I was wondering if I could get some advice.

1. How many pins should I pump out before I start shilling, does it matter?

2. Should I focus on creating a website to direct traffic to instead of my affiliate links directly?

3. Do followers on Pinterest matter as much as other social media?

Thanks crew

Pinterest can actually work pretty well if your stuff looks good and fits the vibe. Think niches like beauty, decor, recipes, that kind of thing. I’d play around with different pin styles and just make sure the visuals pop — people scroll fast. Also, use keywords in a natural way, like you’re just describing the pin, not stuffing them in. It’s kinda slow at first but can build solid traffic over time.

yes, definetly give it a try. And share your results with us

Doesn't matter, but to ensure consistent traffic, I recommend around 10 pins per day

Don't link directly to affiliate links, you could lose your account that way. Create your website and send traffic from Pinterest to the site.

No, followers matter. Your followers would always grow naturally, but they really don't decide whether you get traffic or not.

How much pin save need per day ?

Awesome niche!

1. Aim for 50–100 quality pins first
2. A website > direct affiliate links
3. Followers help, but keywords/pin quality matter more

You’re on the right track!

Hey, great questions I’ve been using Pinterest mainly in the health niche (supplements) for over a year now, both organically and with paid ads. Here’s what I’ve found so far:

1. Pin Volume Before Promotion:
I usually post around 10-15 value-based pins (purely helpful, non-promotional) before mixing in anything that includes an affiliate angle. That builds trust with the platform and the audience.

2. Affiliate Links vs. Website:
Pinterest prefers destination links to quality content pages, so if your site offers value (even simple blog-style posts), you’ll get more clicks and fewer disapprovals.
Direct affiliate links can work, but they’re often flagged or suppressed, especially if the landing page feels overly promotional.

3. Do Followers Matter?
Not as much as other platforms. Pinterest is more search and interest-based, so your content can go viral even with a small follower count focus more on SEO (pin titles, descriptions, hashtags) and regular posting than follower count early on.

Hope this helps a bit I’d love to hear how your niche performs over time. It sounds promising!

How many pins you save doesn't matter. What matters is saving quality pins.
It's good to save 5-15 pins per day.

Hey @codizzle, great to hear you’re getting traction — female spirituality is on Pinterest right now. I’ve worked with a few creators in the personal growth/spiritual wellness space and here’s what’s worked:

---

Answers to Your Questions:​

​

Honestly, Pinterest is less sensitive than IG or TikTok when it comes to links.
But for better trust + performance:

• At least 30–50 value-based pins first
• Then slowly start mixing in 1 promotional pin per 5 value pins
• Use soft CTA pins like “Free Guide: 7 Crystals for Anxiety (link in description)” — rather than loud “BUY NOW” designs

---

​

Go for a simple, clean blog/landing page — it helps in 3 ways:

• Pinterest prefers links to real domains (less spam flagging)
• You can collect emails (for future funnel)
• Better affiliate compliance if you’re using platforms like ShareASale, Clickbank, etc.

Even a 1-page Notion/Framer/WordPress landing page is better than sending traffic to raw affiliate links.

​

Not really. Pinterest is search + algorithm driven, not follower-driven like IG.
Your pins can go viral even with 0 followers if:

• Your title + description = keyword optimized
• Your design is scroll-stopping
• It gets early saves from just a few viewers

Focus more on:

• Pin SEO (keywords in title + desc)
• Designing mobile-first pins
• Posting consistently (5–10/day) using scheduler (Tailwind or Canva’s native scheduler)

Post about 20–30 helpful pins before you start promoting. Send people to your own site, not straight to affiliate links. Don’t stress follower numbers, focus on saves and clicks.

While Pinterest followers are valuable, they don't carry the same weight
as on other social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram.

You should create a website, blog, or landing page instead of using direct affiliate links. This method is more effective and avoids bans, as Pinterest evaluates the quality of the linked website to ensure users access valuable content

I think the most important factors are pin visibility, engagement, and views
