I was thiiiiiis close to giving up on Pinterest last year. I was still getting a decent amount of traffic to my website, but I was SO tired of all the AI slop clogging up my feed. I was frustrated by how often my content was stolen by the scammy “bloggers,” and I wasn’t totally sure it was worth investing in the platform anymore. But despite all the garbage on the platform, I kept at it, and I’m glad I did. Because I’m seeing more traffic thanks to Pinterest.
So here’s what is working on Pinterest.
I’ve been using Tailwind for years now, and they came out with a few interesting features. Once makes it easy to create multiple versions of a pin in seconds, so you don’t have to spend as much time in Canva, tweaking images. (This is in the Pin Scheduler tab.)
Another thing they launched is Turbo Pins, which is sort of like their communities platform. In this tool, you engage with a certain number of pins to “earn” a Turbo pin. Then the Turbo pin is added to the pool of pins that other people can engage with. So it’s sort of a pin-for-pin idea, except you can just pick the pins that make sense to share with your audience. It’s a great way to support other creators, find pins to engage with in your niche, and get your own content shared.
I just recently started testing this a couple of months ago, and here are my results so far:
I’d estimate I’ve spent a couple of hours learning how the tool worked, engaging with content, and submitting my own, over the course of a month or two. Now that I’m familiar with the tool, it’s even faster. But this seems like a worthwhile investment of time!
The awesome thing is, you can use Turbo Pins with the free plan! So if you’re not currently using Tailwind, I’d recommend at least signing up for the free plan to test it out. (If you use my affiliate link, I think you get some extra bonuses.)
