hey guys and welcome to blog tip tuesday where i share helpful blog tips every tuesday in today's
video i'm going to show you how to use pinterest for business in a way that i've never shared
before because with all the changes going on with pinterest i think this strategy is necessary
now i know a lot of people use pinterest to get massive traffic to their website
because that's what i do but the only way to get massive traffic to your website on pinterest is to
constantly get your pins to go viral so you're just hoping that pinterest picks up your pins
to show them to a lot of people thankfully this happens to me a lot and i believe it's all because
i have good boards that i pin my pins to i make pins that people want to click on
and i believe it has a lot to do with my pinning strategy now i'm going to put all my pinterest
videos in the description below that shows you my strategy and how i get over a hundred thousand
pages per month all from pinterest so i love pinterest because i get a lot of traffic from them
but i also can't stand them because they are constantly changing and i have to constantly
relearn how to actually use this platform but i've been hearing that a lot of newcomers are
having some real problems getting traffic and some traction with pinterest that's why i really want
to stress you guys the importance of learning how to get your articles to rank on google
so you can get free valuable consistent traffic to your website and because everyone searches for
everything on google like if you have a question where do you go to find the answer for most people
it's google and what comes up in search results when you search for something it's blog articles
from people like you and me so just keep that in mind when you're trying to write articles you want
to be able to get on google and i can show you how to do that so i'm going to put my article in the
description below that shows you how i get traffic to my website from google and how i make money but
i still recommend pinterest because i'm obviously still getting a lot of traffic from this platform
but i do think it's a good idea to change your thinking on how to use pinterest for business
and instead of focusing on getting massive amounts of traffic to your website from pinterest
i would focus more on converting people to read my articles from pinterest to get on my email list or
funnels my blog mentor debbie gardner she told me about this strategy and its just starting to
hit home and it makes so much sense because when someone visits your site from pinterest that's all
they might do they just might read your article and leave and never come back yes i may earn a
penny if i have ads on that page and a possible an affiliate sale but that's it that reader is
gone forever if they leave my website but when i get an email subscriber i have the potential
to earn much more with that reader because i can get them to buy my product if i had one or
get an affiliate sale and continuously notify them when i have a blog post or a product to sell and
this could make me so much more money in the long run with an email subscriber and if you've been in
the blogging world for a little bit you know that bloggers are always stressing to focus on your
email list because that is the only thing that you own because if pinterest google facebook instagram
youtube if they all went away or an algorithm change which happens very often we could all
be in a very bad spot if we're only depending on these platforms because with your email list
that is the one thing that you actually do own i personally can do a lot better with my email list
and that's what i'm really gonna focus on next because when i'm hearing that bloggers are making
a hundred thousand dollars from just their email list i know that i'm missing out on a ton of money
so i really suggest having a plan for your subscribers for when they do sign up
and have a welcome sequence so they will know what you're all about and what to expect from you
if you want some suggestions on how to do this i recommend looking at your competition join
their email list see what they're saying and how they're saying it remember you never want
to copy you're just using them as inspiration on what you could possibly do with your email list
and try and schedule your content out i try and send something out at least once a week to
my subscribers just to like remain relevant and personally i only want to hear from my favorite
bloggers at least no more than once a week so please guys when you're sending out emails just do
once a week i think that's definitely enough this is also why you guys need to make sure that you're
niche down and create content that serves one particular group of people because it'll be easier
for you because you'll know how to actually cater to that audience so they say that you only need 1
000 followers to be successful so to make assists for your income you realistically only need 1 000
people to purchase a hundred dollars of product from you annually and if you sell something at
200 you only need 500 fans or subscribers and if you continue to provide value to those 1000 fans
they will be loyal to you and share your content with friends and family just naturally these fans
are not only your buyers but they are your most effective marketing strategy leading to even more
of them over time so if you give your readers that find you on pinterest a reason to sign up to your
email list in your articles that is much more valuable than trying to get massive amounts of
traffic to your website traffic from pinterest just comes and goes it's never consistent but
your email list can just continue to grow but of course you can't even get an email subscriber if
they never click on your pin to read your article so be sure to watch my video on how i actually
create my pins and get that click so i did a video on how to create pins on canva and i did a video
for if it better suits you guys on how to create your pins using powerpoint now as far as the email
platform that i use i'm currently using mailerlite and it's serving this purpose for right now
but since i'm really going to focus on my email list next i'm going to move over to convertkit
because i feel like that is the best option for me and to grow and do much better with my email
list now if you guys don't have an email service provider yet i definitely recommend convertkit
i've done my research and i think it's the best email platform ever gonna be serious about your
email list now i do have a referral link that will get you guys 1000 subscribers for free and
i'm gonna put that in the description below if you want to do convertkit along with me
and remember be sure to join your competitors email list because not only do you want to see how
they're doing it you want to see whatever updates that they come up with because this is a business
at the end of the day and you want to know what your competitors are doing so if you guys have any
questions about this let me know in the comment section below and let me know if you have an
email service provider i'd love to know who you're working with and what if you're happy with them
