A quick reminder:

Remember that it takes consistency and time when it comes to Pinterest growth but stick with it for 3-6 months and you WILL find yourself heading towards your business goals rather then remaining stagnant with no clue how to get it moving.

• Add a on-brand photo as your header image (you can make that more useful later)
• Create 8-10 boards
• Be sure to use keywords for board names
• Use keywords in board descriptions
• Fill out boards with 5-10 pins minimum

Be Strategic With Your Goals

Decide on your #1 and #2 goals for Pinterest and make sure you know how you’re going to make it worth your time investment.

Goal ideas:

• Brand awareness: spread the word, increase Google ranking, become well known
• Website traffic: get targeted eyeballs on your site so you can use it funnel people into an email list, use it to prove to brands they should work with you, use it to make money from ads, use it as a way to increase sponsorship rates (I can get x many people to the post with your products)
• Affiliate sales
• Point them to other social channels (only recommended to be #1 goal if you don’t have a site)
