Unpopular opinion: Having up to 5 accounts per site, each targeting different categories and keywords, is totally fine.

AND the upside is insane:
It’s one of the fastest ways to grow your site to 100k+ pageviews/mo.

Here’s how I set those accounts up (safely) 👇 Image
2. Optimize Content Types

The kind of content you pin matters just as much as frequency.

• Roundup/Ideas Posts (e.g., “10 Best Pasta Recipes”):

These are gold mines.
You can create multiple pins per article, each highlighting a different item from the list.
1. Start Slow

For a new account, the safest way to begin is by pinning 8-12 times daily.

Maintain this for 1-2 weeks, then slowly increase your frequency.

💡 This reduces the risk of triggering Pinterest’s spam filters while giving you time to analyze engagement metrics.
2. Optimize Content Types

The kind of content you pin matters just as much as frequency.

• Roundup/Ideas Posts (e.g., “10 Best Pasta Recipes”):
These are gold mines.

You can create multiple pins per article, each highlighting a different item from the list.
Example: For 10 recipes, make 10 unique pins featuring individual recipes + overlay text and collage pins.

• Single-Idea Posts (e.g., “Alfredo Chicken Recipe”):

Keep it simple. Pin 3-5 times max and distribute across relevant boards. Text overlay pins usually perform best.
3. Scale Gradually

After 1-2 weeks of pinning 8-12/day, you can increase by about 5 pins per week.

Always prioritize quality over quantity—track clicks, saves, and impressions to keep your engagement rate high (important!).

⚠️ Avoid maxing out Pinterest's daily limit (48 pins) too quickly; poor-performing pins will hurt your overall performance.
Info:

At the moment, I continue posting 8-12 pins/day on most of my accounts, even as they get older, because I’ve noticed it keeps the engagement rate the highest.

Feel free to test both approaches and see if posting more quality pins improves or at least maintains your performance.
4. Diversify Your Boards

Create 10-15 niche-focused boards.

For example, if you’re in the food niche:

• Healthy Dinner Recipes
• Easy Chicken Recipes

💡 Pin to the most relevant boards, but avoid spamming the same pin across all boards simultaneously.
5. Quality Over Quantity

Pinterest favors high-quality, engaging pins.

Focus on:

• Titles: Use curiosity-driven, clickable phrases.
E.g., “10 Must-Try Chicken Dinners Your Family Will Love.”

• Descriptions:
Include relevant KWs and long-tail phrases. Use Pinterest Trends and Pinclciks for research.

• Design: Experiment with the 9:16 format (taller pins), which often outperforms Pinterest's official 4:5 recommendation.
6. Engage Actively

Don’t just pin and forget!

• Comments: Respond to feedback on your pins.
• Saves: Save top-performing pins from others to stay visible and active in the community.

Watch your Pinterest competitors.

But not to copy them.

To discover...
Ideas. Trends. Missed traffic.

Here's my highly effective way to do this 👇 Image
1. Google SEO taught us:

📍One keyword.
📍One top spot.
📍One winner.

On Google, that makes sense.

But Pinterest?
It plays by very different rules.

The winner isn't the one who gets there first.

It's the one who shows up with the best idea.

"How many pins per day should I post?”

This is by far the most common question y'all ask me.

Here's my approach after managing 200+ sites 👇
1. First: Stop looking for “the number.”

Pinterest isn’t a vending machine where you post X pins and get Y traffic.

There’s no universal answer.

Not 5. Not 15. Not 50.

Why?
Because how many pins/day you should post depends on:

— Niche
— Content type
— Account history
— URLs
— Engagement
— Strategy

Let’s break it down 👇

I know a lot of y'all swear by seasonal KWs and they can definitely be a great way to drive traffic.

But when you're managing a portfolio of sites, you want things to stay as systemized as possible.

And for that, simplicity is key.

What we do 👇
We do target seasonal KWs as well but only those tied to seasons, not short-term events like Valentines or Easter.

Otherwise, it's just a pain to manage, and most of the time, those KWs don’t bring in enough traffic to make it worth the effort.
So if you’re running multiple sites, always aim to build a system that’s both effective and efficient.

Everything else just eats up time and resources without delivering meaningful results.

Think Pinterest is “just a traffic source”?

How it can be your biggest income driver—without running ads or selling physical products.

Here's how we do it with 100+ sites (step-by-step) 👇 Image
1. First, Understand This:

Pinterest ≠ quick cash.
Pinterest = long-term traffic engine.

Your income grows as your traffic compounds.
To make money with Pinterest, you need just 2 things:

• Website (or shop)
• Strategy (I’ll give you mine)

Most Pinterest creators completely misread user intent.

They think like bloggers. Or Google SEOs. Or even Instagrammers.

But Pinterest users? They behave totally differently.

If you want saves, clicks, and real traffic — you need to read this 👇 Image
Let’s start with this truth:

💡 Pinterest is not Google.
💡 Pinterest is not Instagram.
💡 Pinterest is not Amazon.

Pinterest users are in a unique mental space.
If you create content without understanding that → you'll get ignored.

Here's what to know 👇

Pinterest just dropped something massive for creators:

For the first time ever, we can see actual search volume directly from Pinterest.

But does it actually matter?

Let’s break it down 👇
Until late 2024, Pinterest didn’t show any real search volume data.

Creators had to rely on:
– Pinterest Trends (just a score from 0–100)
– Pinterest Ads (vague at best)
– Google volume (wildly inaccurate for Pinterest)

But now?

We’ve got real monthly numbers—straight from the source.
