If you’re struggling to get organic traffic to your blog without relying on Google search engines, then Pinterest might be the solution you’ve been overlooking.
Unlike social media platforms, this platform is a visual search engine that helps bloggers drive consistent traffic to their websites. If you’re currently getting only a few hundred views per month, this guide will show you how to scale up to 10,000 monthly blog views using a proven 6-step Pinterest strategy.
My Pinterest traffic grew from 4.8k views to 9.3k views in 30 days. This platform has been an amazing source of organic traffic for my blog when it’s done right. I no longer have to rely on search engines for organic traffic.
Why Pinterest is the Best Traffic Source for Bloggers
It is not just a social media platform. And it isn’t just for recipes and DIY projects. It’s a goldmine for bloggers looking to attract readers, grow an audience, and monetize their content. Here’s why:
- Long-Term Traffic: A well-optimized pin can drive traffic for months or even years.
- Less Competition: Unlike Google SEO, Pinterest is easier to rank on with the right strategy.
- Buyer Intent: Many Pinterest users are ready to take action, whether it’s starting a blog, booking a service, or buying a product.
Step 1: Pin Consistently (Daily if Possible)
Pinterest rewards consistency over volume. Instead of pinning randomly, create a daily schedule that keeps your content in front of new users.
How to Pin for Maximum Growth:
✅ Aim for 5-10 fresh pins per day (but even 3-5 is better than nothing)
✅ Use a scheduler (Pinterest’s native scheduler works great)
✅ Pin a mix of new and older blog posts to maximize reach
✅ Prioritize newly designed pins over re-pinning old ones
🔹 Pro Tip: Batch-create at least 50-100 fresh pins per month and schedule them in advance.
Step 2: Publish More Blog Posts (1-2 Per Week)
The more blog posts you have, the more content you can create. A blog post = multiple fresh pins = more chances to rank in search.
Content Strategy for Pinterest:
✅ Write listicles, how-to guides, and step-by-step tutorials (these perform best)
✅ Each blog post should have at least 5 different pin designs
✅ Repurpose older blog posts with updated graphics and keywords
🔹 Pro Tip: If you can only post once a week, make sure it’s optimized for Pinterest searches.
Step 3: Create Click-Worthy Pins
Your pin design and titles are everything when it comes to getting clicks.
Best Practices for High-Performing Pins:
✅ Use bold, readable fonts (Avoid cursive or tiny text)
✅ Stick to a 9:16 ratio for your pins (e.g., 1000×1500 px)
✅ Test different colors (lighter backgrounds often perform better)
✅ Use curiosity-driven headlines (e.g., “The 7 Blogging Mistakes That Kill Traffic”)
🔹 Pro Tip: Create 5 variations of each pin to test which design performs best.
Step 4: Master SEO
Again, this platform is a visual search engine, so your pins must be optimized like blog posts.
Where to Place Keywords:
✅ Pin Titles: (e.g., “How to Start a Blog and Make Money”)
✅ Pin Descriptions: (naturally add keywords + call to action)
✅ Board Names & Descriptions: (e.g., “Blogging Tips for Beginners”)
✅ Blog Post Titles (match your pin keywords for higher rankings)
🔹 Pro Tip: Use Pinterest Trends or Pinclicks to find trending keywords before creating pins.
Step 5: Repurpose & Reshare Top-Performing Pins
Pinterest loves fresh content, but that doesn’t mean you can’t repost your best content.
How to Keep Your Best Pins Alive:
✅ Check Analytics to find your top-performing pins. I use Clicky (you can use it for free for one blog), which is much easier to read and understand than Google Analytics.
✅ Recreate them with a new design, colors, and font
✅ Post them again after 2-3 weeks to keep the momentum going
🔹 Pro Tip: If a pin gets more clicks than impressions, create similar content because it’s highly engaging.
Step 6: Be Patient & Stay Consistent
Unlike viral social media platforms, this platform takes time to build momentum. Most new Pinterest accounts start seeing results after 3-6 months of consistent pinning. When is done right, you can see results within 30 days like I did.
How to Stay on Track:
✅ Stick to your daily pinning schedule
✅ Track results in the Analytics and tweak your strategy
✅ Keep creating fresh content (blog posts + new pins)
🔹 Pro Tip: The more you stick with it, the better it rewards you with organic reach.
Final Thoughts: Your Growth Plan
If you follow this 6-step strategy consistently, you can reach 10,000+ blog views per month in just a few months. Here’s a recap of your action plan:
✅ Pin at least 5-10 times daily (fresh pins matter!)
✅ Publish 1-2 blog posts weekly (more content = more pins)
✅ Create 5-10 pin designs per post (test different styles)
✅ Use Pinterest SEO (keywords in pin titles, descriptions, and boards)
✅ Track analytics & recreate best-performing pins
✅ Stay consistent for 3-6 months (Pinterest traffic compounds over time)
By applying this strategy, you’ll turn it into your biggest blog traffic source. Start today and watch your blog views grow! 🚀
