Pinterest as a Platform

• Make sure that you are using the correct words for searchability.
• You need quality graphics to get a potential customer's attention.

Myths and Facts About Pinterest

• Just like every platform, it continually changes.

Core Strategies in Utilizing Pinterest Marketing

• Consistency in pinning every single day
• The client's goal should be the basis of your strategy. Begin with the end in mind.

Building an Email list vs. Getting Sales

• Getting Sales: Drive on whatever the products are (e.g., get as many pictures of the product and put out fresh content)
• Email list: You need to have several leads (e.g., have some freebies related to your target people to have them sign up)

Pinterest for Marketing

• Avoid "spamming" Pinterest with all the photos of your products.
• Have 3–5 interval days or even more for putting out your product to the relevant boards.
• Be part of group boards and Tailwind Tribes.
• Aside from spacing your pins, you should also use different images
• You need to find similar but not competing content to share to give your followers more value.
• Give your audience a lot of things to look at on your page, not just your content.
• Utilize a scheduler in sharing content. Do not schedule for more than three weeks because trends change quickly.
• Keep on top of your analytics.
• Take advantage of viral content.

Pinterest and Other Social Media Platforms

• "Do not put all of your eggs in one basket." If one of the platforms shuts down, you will lose your audience.
• Spread out your marketing. If you stay on one platform, you are not going to reach a wider audience.
• Have good leads and build your email list.
• No matter what medium you use, it will take a lot of planning and strategy.

Paid Ads in Pinterest

• Utilize keyword research.

Pinterest as a Powerful Search Engine Tool

• You also do predictive searching like Google.
• It can provide you sets of keywords that are performing well by giving you exactly how many clicks each word is getting and where the keyword showed up.
• Look for keywords every day.
• You need to be at the forefront because customers are everywhere.
