One of the quickest
ways to start driving traffic to your Pinterest boards is by following the
leader. This concept is true for Twitter. If you follow the high profile person
in your niche, then you are more likely to generate more followers for
yourself. Also, doing this gives you the opportunity to see how this person is
marketing their business.
Who said spying on the competition isn’t a good
thing!
The biggest mistake
you can make on your boards is to only promote yourself. While there is nothing
wrong about boasting about a new achievement or your first Kindle book, don’t
center everything around your business.
Always remember that
the key to social media is to share, and it is no different with Pinterest. If
you share and repin other people’s content, you are more likely to see more
traffic back to your site in the end.
It is possible to
create backlinks to your site through your boards. For example, you can post an
image of an affiliate product with your link on it. Then write a review of this
product and link to that. When you write the review article, include several
photos for Pinterest users. This way you can get different images pinned more
times. Posting popular images could possibly result in a number of backlinks
very quickly.
Leave detailed
comments on images and videos that you like and repin. By taking the time to
write a comment, you are creating a name for yourself. Also, you are being
social and sharing content, which is what Pinterest wants you to do.
Writing quality
comments will get you noticed and will get your comment repined as well as
creating more traffic. All of these things may sound small and won’t take that
long to do, but the results could be huge. Imagine if your comment went viral,
think of all the traffic your site could see! The potential is there. You just
need to tap into it.
You can drive more
traffic to your blog simply by adding more images. By having more than one
image or by including a video, people have options of what to pin. This results
in more pins for your blog. Don’t forget to include a Pin Me button on your
blog, ideally below each image. Make it easy for people to share, and they will
simply click without thinking and help generate more traffic for you.
