My full beginner Pinterest guide.

Here’s everything you need to know to grow your traffic and actually build a traffic source that compounds over time 👇 1. Pinterest ≠ Social Media

This is where most beginners get it wrong.

Pinterest is a visual search & recommendation engine.

People don’t scroll for drama → they search & save for ideas.

Your job = give them those ideas in a way the algorithm can understand.

My complete Pinterest Roadmap for beginners.

To get to 100k+ monthly pageviews and to earn a nice second salary with it.

Here's how to build and grow your account in just 2-3 hours per WEEK 👇 Let’s start with the foundation: What actually moves the needle?

I'm about to manage 300 Pinterest accounts, and after conducting extensive testing with a group of 100+ creators, I identified the 20% of tasks that generate 80% of the results.

You need to know these tasks; otherwise, you’ll risk burnout by spending too much time on unnecessary work.

Pinterest just dropped something MASSIVE:

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

Here's what you need to know when you want to scale your traffic 👇 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)

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) 👇 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.

Watch your Pinterest competitors.

But not to copy them.

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

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

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

On Google, that makes sense.

But Pinterest?

"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?

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.

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) 👇 1. First, Understand This:

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

Your income grows as your traffic compounds.

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 👇 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.

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)

Should you have multiple Pinterest accounts to grow faster?

Or is it too risky?

Let’s break down the real risks & the hidden rewards—and how to know what’s right for you 👇 Here are the 3 main Pinterest paths creators consider:

✅ One Pinterest account for one website
✅ Multiple Pinterest accounts for one website
✅ Multiple Pinterest accounts for multiple website

Pinterest's algorithm changed drastically in the last months and will continue to do so.

Especially with more and more AI.

Here’s what’s changed, what’s coming, and how to win. 👇 1. Pinterest today is NOT the same platform you knew in 2022.

It’s faster.
It’s smarter.
It pays better.

And most importantly:

I’ve built almost 100 Pinterest sites (so far)—all compounding daily traffic, revenue, and income.

Here’s how I did it (and how you can too) 👇 1. The BIGGEST Pinterest Myth

Most creators treat Pinterest like social media.

❌ Posting random pins.
❌ Chasing viral trends.
❌ Focusing only on aesthetics.

If I had to start over, here’s exactly how I’d build a $500/month Pinterest site in 90 days.

—With minimal time investment. 👇 Most people overcomplicate Pinterest.

They waste time on things that barely move the needle.

Here’s my efficient keyword research process for my growing site portfolio (almost 100 sites atm) 👇

(the exact process I used to scale accounts to >100k outbound clicks/mo) 1. Start with a clear goal

Decide what you want to achieve with your KWs:

✅ Commercial intent:
Target KWs like "Best of" or "Top X" for affiliate revenue.

✅ Traffic growth:
Focus on broader, inspirational topics—listicle-style articles work best here.

✅ Seasonal trends:
Tap into upcoming holidays, events, or trending topics.

💡 Example goal: Find high-intent KWs for a DIY blog promoting craft tools.

Pinterest’s Taste Graph maps user preferences to the perfect pins.
