I bet that most of you don’t know that Pinterest can drive you more traffic  & more $$$ than even Facebook and Twitter!   Yes, the news says that Pinterest is the #3 traffic source behind Facebook and Twitter.

BUT the dirty truth is that with these 2 secrets you can make a butt load more money and generate hordes more traffic from Pinterest.

#1 Dirty Little Secret – the average household income of a Pinterest user is $100,000 and above and they are women.  

Everyone knows that women LOVE to shop.    So wouldn’t it make sense that Pinterest with all its glitz and glam would be the place that WOMEN would shop! 

Heck, it is the “new” thing.

Remember back in the day when scrapbooking was all the rage.   We, women would go ape nuts over the newest scrapbooking gimmicks and spend a small fortune buying them.  I would know because I was one of those women.

Scrapbooking has been replaced by Pinterest.    So imagine all of us crazy women offline scrapbooking – fast forward a few years and imagine us scouring Pinterest purchasing items that we just happen to stumble upon and like!

That my friend is the power of Pinterest….a hidden treasure trove!

So how do you get people to find your images and purchase your products and services?

#2 Dirty Little Secret – SEO is more important than the image itself.

HUH?  You might be scratching your head – thinking well I thought it was the glamour and all these shiny images that were getting women to buy like crazy.

Well it is sort of.    But you have to be able to drive traffic to your image.   Here is where dirty little secret #2 comes in.

Pinterest’s search function is based off of SEO “keywords” – so to put it in plain English –

Whatever is in the description field of your image is what shows up when people do a search on Pinterest.

So if you have a picture of a beautiful health product for sale with no description – good luck having people find it in the vast sea of Pinterest.  

BUT, if you have “lose 5 lbs” in your description – then when someone types in lose 5lbs in the search bar – your image will pull up!

So the dirty little secret is to make sure you have a good description about your image!

Now, I can’t force you to put these 2 dirty little secrets into practice but what I can tell you is that if you want to learn more dirty little secrets about Social Media, then I am the person to talk to! 

My buddies Cori, Michael, and myself teach these kinds of dirty little secrets every week in our Premier Academy of Social Media.    And our students simply RAVE about it.

Angela

How ironic is this?

To get followed on Pinterest – SEO is more important than the images!

So what does that mean to you a marketer?

Pinterest's search feature is all about keywords.   So for example, if you type in fish in the search bar, you will get a bunch of images of fish.

The result – if you have a picture of a fish pinned to your board with no description than it will NOT appear in the search results. However, simply adding a description (adjectives help!) will immediately get eyes on your pin.

For the same fish picture try: “Beautiful rainbow trout swimming in crystal water in Montana. Fish. Fly fishing. Outdoors. Tree. Rock. Earth. Sky. Fire. Justin Bieber”. Okay, maybe skip Justin Bieber.

They’re basically the same rules as Yahoo search circa 1996. Load up relevant, popular keywords in the description of your pins and boards and you are guaranteed to get more views/likes/follow.

As a business owner, this is a very important concept that you really need to begin doing. Otherwise you will be missing out on a bunch of traffic that could lead people to your products.

My best advice is that “practice makes perfect.” When you first begin writing keyword-rich titles and descriptions you might draw a blank and not know exactly what words people are going to use to find you, but once you start doing this you will slowly begin noticing what others are tagging and how they are using keywords. It will get easier with time.

So, start today and begin utilizing Pinterest SEO. You might also want to check out the rest of the article from above because they have some other really great Pinterest Tips.
