If you’re a blogger, you should know by now the power of Pinterest in helping your blog grow. It’s so crucial to put some effort into Pinterest marketing if you really want to get more eyes on your blog.
With Pinterest being weird nowadays, I can totally understand the frustration around it but still, this is the top-most platform for any blogger to grow their business and boost the page-views. Not only for blogging is Pinterest important, it’s really a landing spot for all businesses who want to grow their business and sales.
Besides Pinterest, there are so many other tasks that come in handy while you blog. It’s super difficult to handle everything from content research to social media to designing different templates. It’s kind of frustrating and so very annoying. We all only have so many hours in the day.
However, the good news is; you don’t have to waste hours behind Pinterest marketing. There’re some wonderful tools that can help you with Pinterest engagement and can totally grow your traffic faster.
5 Pinterest Tools to Grow your Traffic Faster
1. Canva
This is my and probably everybody else’s favorite designing tool. You name the template and Canva has it. From social media promotion to blog banners to attractive pins; there’s everything that you would need for your Pinterest graphics in Canva.
The best part is; even its free version is super effective to use. They do have a premium version for other updated tools but the free one works just fine.
The pin templates for every niche are readily available. All you need to do is, add your title and tweak the template with your brand colors. Ain’t that super time-saving?
2. Tailwind
If you’re looking for automation and would love to save some time, Tailwind is the best option.
With everything to do around, you cannot expect yourself to log into Pinterest every now and then to pin your pins. So, to save so much of your time, you can pin all your Pins on the Tailwind scheduler at a regular interval. I used Tailwind for about 3 years straight and it saved so much time and I didn’t have to think about pins everyday.
3. Pinterest analytics
If you have a business account on Pinterest; you can view your daily, weekly, and monthly analytics. It’s so necessary to study your analytics to know which of your pins and content is performing better.
This information can then help you create more of such content that’s actually driving traffic to your blog.
Focus on collecting the data of clicks and your top-performing boards. The monthly views are vanity numbers so don’t pay much heed to them.
This can save so much of your time by helping you curate the blog posts that your readers love. I look at my analytics daily because my husband has taught me that numbers don’t lie, and Shark Tank reinforces that idea which can tell you if you if what you are doing is worth it or not.
4. Google Analytics
Just as Pinterest analytics; Google analytics is equally important to let you know about your overall engagement.
With Pinterest Analytics, you can’t collect the data of your pin clicks and all the information of your viral pins. However, with Google Analytics you can track how much traffic i.e. clicks your pins are bringing in.
Sometimes, there’s some weird glitch in Pinterest Analytics so having Google analytics handy can save you from further trouble besides giving you an insight into your current pinning strategy.
5. Social warfare
Social warfare is the social sharing button where you can encourage your readers to pin the article for later read.
Isn’t that amazing to simply direct your readers to help you with promoting your blog post?
The plug-in is available for free on WordPress and it’s super helpful in getting some extra social shares. If you haven’t installed it yet, go to your website and do it now. You can also check the social shares and see which blog post is shared/ loved the most.
The bottom line:
Pinterest; undoubtedly is the best resource for building your audience and increasing your blog traffic. However, it might be super time-consuming and at times even frustrating. Not only can it help grow your blog, you can use it to help grow your affiliate income, your other social channels, and even help land some brand partnerships!
