Growing your email list with Pinterest It’s been a while since we’ve discussed the importance of having an email list. If there is one thing that I wish I’d done sooner when it comes to running my blog, I’d be working on building my list.

Here’s the thing you need to know about Pinterest: It is not a social media platform. It’s in an entirely different category than Twitter or Facebook. Everyone who visits Pinterest is looking for value, something that will help them improve their life. Users come to Pinterest to find business or blogging tips, to find a haircut inspiration, to find ways to deal with stress or anxiety, to learn about self-improvement, to find recipes, makeup tutorials, and reviews. So, no. Pinterest is no longer a place where you’d only go if you were looking for a DIY project or wedding inspiration. AND, men are actually on there, too. This means that it doesn’t matter what kind of niche you’re in- Pinterest can help you find that perfect audience. Yes. People come to Pinterest to find ideas or inspiration. You have to think of Pinterest as a visual search engine. What do search engines love? SEO. PINTEREST SEO When you log in to your Pinterest account, the pins you see no longer show up in a chronological order. Pinterest now has a smart feed, which uses its algorithm to figure out the kind of content that each user is interested in, and […]

Having a blog taught me quite a few things; one of them being this: you can’t be everywhere at once. There was a point when I realized that I’m spending less time blogging and more time “hanging out” on social media. Okay, when I say “social media” I mainly mean Instagram because.. well… I’m just not a huge Twitter or Facebook fan. Well.. guess what? That can suck the fun out of blogging. I suddenly realized that replying to my Instagram comments or posting on Instagram became more important than creating content. And that is something I knew I needed to change. So, I decided, that since I can’t have it all and be present on every single social media platform equally, I’ll focus on one that helps my blog the most: Pinterest. When I shifted my focus to Pinterest, my traffic referrals increased and once I came up with a good scheduling system, I no longer had to worry or stress out about being “present” on that particular platform and can spend more time doing what I love doing most: blogging. Pinterest has over 150 million active users, so if you’re a blogger, it’s a great place to be. In […]
