Still putting off Pinterest? Let’s fix that.

Hey Reader, Imagine this… You started a Pinterest account three years ago when you sold printable planners on Etsy. You had boards like: Yummy in my tummy Cute outfits Kid stuff Christmas 2013 But today? You’re a systems strategist for online coaches, and your offers are ClickUp templates, automations, and done for you setups. Those old boards? They don’t match your current business, content, or keywords. You could rename those boards or archive the old Pins, but what do you do when you want...

Hello Reader, When it comes to SEO, most bloggers think Google first.That’s fine until they try to apply the same rules on Pinterest. Here’s the truth: the two platforms share search principles, but not data.Tools like Keywords Everywhere (one of my personal Google favorites) pull their numbers from Google’s API — not Pinterest’s. That means the volume, difficulty, and suggestions you see are for Google search behavior, not for Pinterest users. Pinterest has its own ecosystem, its own user...

Here’s the truth: Pinterest doesn’t reward you for using more keywords. It rewards you for using them smarter. And that comes down to how you organize them. Most creators scatter their...

Hi Reader, This week, we talked a lot about AI — how Pinterest is changing, how creators can adapt, and how tools like The Pin Bot can make marketing simpler. But I want to end the week with a reminder:AI can make you faster. AI can help you to get inspired.But it will never make you you. The best performing Pins on Pinterest aren’t perfect. Most of the time they're the ugly duds you thought wouldn't do well anyways.They’re personal. They make people feel something... curiosity, nostalgia,...

Hey Reader, Earlier this week, we talked about how Pinterest’s new AI settings are putting control back into users’ hands — finally letting real creators shine again.
