Thank you for this. Pinterest is what got me into blogging in the first place, so it makes perfect sense to optimize it now. (I love crochet which is a is highly visual subject to pin.) I’m excited to try some of your suggestion. I am reading this via SITS Girls too. Pinning, of course!

In reply to Cindy. It's pretty awesome, Cindy. You can't beat $5 per month for a Pinterest scheduler.

In reply to Ann. I've actually started to enjoy updating older posts, Ann. It certainly wasn't my favorite task at first. Now it's kind of nice to go back and update, fill things out a little more and repromote them to your community.

Great tips! I’ve been focusing more on my Pinterest traffic lately. i started using ViralWoot for free and it’s been great for scheduling content so far. They just came out with an Instagram scheduler, too, so I’m excited to try that!

I am trying to grow my Pinterest skills; you’ve got lots of great advice here. One of my goals is to go back & “fix” some of my older posts–creating more pin-able images too. Thanks!

I just had to laugh when I saw the the first line of this post. I ONLY discovered your site through Pinterest! It’s how I find everything, and I’ve already pinned a book that you mentioned here. So thanks for shedding your Pinterest skepticism!

Hi Angie! Love your wealth of information and your blog is amazing. I am a brand new beauty blogger and I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. It is so much work! I am starting small and seeing where it takes me. I am also a mom-at-home and the blog is a great space to share and connect with others. Thank you for your valuable advice and insights. Any words of wisdom are welcomed!

While I knew some of these tips, there were many I hadn’t heard of. I’m looking forward to implementing them and hopefully seeing more traffic as a result. We featured your post on 1099 Mom because it was so helpful!

In reply to Lydia. I'm also a member of Ahalogy, but I don't believe they are accepting new members at this time per the last email. They are definitely great if you can get in however!

Wonderful tips that are so spot on! I LOVE Pinterest. Not only is it fun to use, it has brought me more blog traffic than any other thing. I’m constantly working at tweaking and improving my Pinterest strategy- seems like there is always more to learn!

I especially like your Canva suggestion. I prefer PicMonkey to do my designing, partly because I’m more familiar with it. But I’ve had a hard time finding reasonably priced photos. I forgot that at Canva they are only $1.00.

A couple of other tips. Get in with Ahalogy if possible. They are similar to BoardBooster, but free. Also, make sure the cover image of your boards is visually appealing. For myself, I’ve found that bright, fresh images seem to be the most attractive. First impressions are so important!

In reply to Lauren. I really didn't "get it" until just a few months ago, Lauren. I have been receiving such great results though. It's definitely worth a closer look!

Great tips! I’ve struggled with understanding the blogging side of Pinterest and have really just been treating it like a personal account. Thanks so much for helping me wrap my brain around it! It can definitely get overwhelming.
