I have tried to use it, and I can see the potential, but I find it’s a huge time drain to get anywhere with it. I think that part of my problem is I don’t really use it anyway, so I have to force myself to use it for business, and that never really works!
For me, I used Pinterest for my previous business which was selling wall art prints on Etsy. I did really well from it, and I still have thousands of monthly views and I haven't touched it in years.
I'm thinking of creating a Pinterest account for my VA business to see how the growth compares between a service and product based business. Would a challenge or a Pinterest follow along be good to do together? Let me know! 😊
Hi Sophie, I'm the same as Louise.. haven't got as far as posting anything though, just made a few pins and gave up! 🙈 I don't understand Pinterest, it really confuses me 🙄😆
I keep having fits and starts with Pinterest. I'll make a fresh start every now and again, get into a pinning routine and then it goes by the wayside. Consistency is really difficult, especially as I don't really use it on a personal level.
This is so common! I think it's because it's not a place where you NEED to show consistently, so we just... don't 🤣.
Maybe getting into a habit would be good? I mean that like making it part of your writing routine. For example, before publishing a post on Substack, you create a Pin for it on Pinterest and schedule them both to go out at the same time. Maybe that'd work?

I would love to use Pinterest more and I even bought a Pinterest course, but I didn't start with it yet..... so many other things to do....
Ah yes, it often gets pushed to the bottom of the to do list, doesn’t it? Especially if it feel like yet another thing to do
I love Pinterest but don’t have the patience to make pins. I do see sign up results from the ones you make and I pull my Instagram through to it now…
Oh fab! How do your Instagram posts do on Pinterest?
Making the Pins isn’t fun if you’re not into it
They boosted the monthly views I think because it’s just more content but I don’t look more than that. Just leave that to you 😂
Pinterest is such a wonderful opportunity - but only if you have the patience to sit with it. The results come over months, quarters, years.
Yes, you’re so right. It’s definitely a long game

Lots of people feel the same way! But... this is really useful for me to know too 🤣.
What I'm creating will go through all of this!
Ooo, fab! 👍

Ah, that’s a good idea. Making it an integral part of the content creation process you mean? I’ll definitely try that.
Yeah exactly that!
