IT DOESN’T REQUIRE MUCH OF MY TIME

It might not look like this at first, but once you have republished your content on Pinterest & created a system for yourself- it will only require around 30 minutes a week to control. I absolutely love using Boardbooster for this as it allows me to schedule & plans my pins in advance. You can also create secret boards here & use them to plan other people’s pins. I usually prepare new pins on Sunday for them to be published during the week. It saves me loads & loads of time!

IT FILTERS MY AUDIENCE FOR ME

No surprise there- Pinterest works as a search engine which means that those visitors that reach my blog through Pinterest were already looking for the similar topics themselves. I really don’t have to worry about irrelevant pageviews as Pinterest already filters my audience for me and only shows my content to people that have similar interests as me. These users leave the most comments & are generally more involved.

IT IMPROVES MY CONTENT’S LONGEVITY

That’s how it goes in this busy blogging world- we work hard on our posts, we take pictures, we write content, we hit publish, we enjoy the pageviews & we forget… But! What’s wrong with your old posts? They’re just as good as your most recent ones & you should always, always put them in use even after months or years of their original publish date. Pinterest works it’s magic when it comes to bringing visitors to your older content.

IT BRINGS ME ACTUAL SALES

What’s so special about Pinterest compared to other social media websites, is that it decreases the number of steps from discovery to conversion. This means that visitors from Pinterest turn into leads or sales faster than those coming from any other social media sources. This is simply a dream come true for any online entrepreneur & if you’re not using Pinterest for your business yet- well… what are you waiting for?!

IT INCREASES THE REACH OF MY ONLINE PRESENCE

You have to put yourself out there in order to succeed. I’m not talking about randomly creating various social media accounts with a link to your blog. What I have in mind is actually mastering some of the major websites in order to bring the best possible results. Millions of creative, driven men & women already use Pinterest on a regular basis, and it would simply be crazy not to be a part of this awesome group! Same with Instagram, Facebook or any other social media outlet- use them! There’s nothing wrong with letting someone else’s work bring you benefit.
