Wondering how you can increase your Pinterest traffic? Let’s dive into a client case study that’s sure to inspire anyone looking to turn Pinterest into a traffic-driving machine.
The Client:
My client is a blogger and affiliate marketer with a niche in college and dorm-life.
She’s all about helping students and parents tackle the sometimes chaotic, always exciting world of preparing for college and dorm life.
Her blog was doing well through her popular Facebook group, but she knew there was more potential, especially on Pinterest. Her goals were simple: Get more eyes on her affiliate articles and build brand awareness within her target audience.
Her Challenges:
Even though she had a Pinterest presence, it wasn’t hitting the mark. The account was far from optimized, but she still had one viral pin that was doing all the heavy lifting. She could see the potential.
But with no solid strategy, and a local college student handling pin design and random pinning, she wasn’t seeing the traffic she needed to boost her affiliate income.
The Solution:
She knew her target audience (moms of high school seniors) were active on Pinterest. So, I stepped in with a game plan that would make a huge difference in her results.
Here’s what we did:
- Profile and Board Optimization: First up, I gave her Pinterest profile and boards a serious makeover. I made sure everything was aligned with her brand and strategically set up to attract the right audience.
- Trending/Popular Content: I capitalized on the data from Pinterest Trends and starting pinning seasonal content about 60 days out so we could ride the wave.
- Data-Driven Pin Creation: Using the latest trending data and popular designs, I created pins that didn’t just look pretty, they were also designed to connect with her audience. The goal? Get those students and parents clicking and engaging with her content.
- Minimal Client Involvement: She focused on what she does best...creating awesome content...while I handled the heavy lifting on the Pinterest strategy side.
The Results:
And the results? Well, they even blew me away. In just five months, she increased her Pinterest traffic from 400 visits a month to a whopping 12,000!
This explosion in traffic led to her highest income months since she started her business four years ago. But that’s not all...big brands like Target and Walmart noticed, leading to some seriously valuable brand partnerships.
