Pinterest Tip #20 — Pinterest Board Covers

Create impressive and attractive board cover photos.

You don’t necessarily need to create pins just for your board covers unless you really want to. You can take your best-designed and most popular pin and use that for your board cover, as well. Using a similar color or theme for each board cover is a must here.

Some “experts” will say that growing your blog takes a substantial amount of time. I’d have to agree with that to extent. But growing a blog and getting traffic to it are two different things. And you’re not going to be able to tell if what you’re growing is a viable topic or anything people are actually interested in without blog traffic.

That’s where Pinterest comes into play.

I have spent 2 years of my life “building” my blog — but a lot of that was writing content, doing graphics, website design, organizing it, etc. You know. The business of blogging. But that’s all image and content, and not traffic.

I had “ok” traffic for a blogger. Good sales, decent income from it, etc. But what I was really missing was the HEAVY traffic that I wanted. Because when you spend so much time building, writing and curating content for your blog, you want people actually reading what you have to say, right?

That’s where Pinterest, as a blogger, comes in really handy.

In December 2018, I carved out a plan to build my Pinterest account to a higher level. Within three months, I had built website traffic to my blog from 75k page views a month to over 450k page views a month. I heavily focused my attention to my analytics, which dictated what kind of content my followers were really interested in, and within three months, I had grown on Pinterest from an 80k monthly viewers account (which fluctuated regularly between 50k to 180k / month) to 14+ million in monthly viewers, which is the number that signifies your ability to reach people.

I’ve included everything I did to achieve those numbers, right down to the detail, in my course, Pinterest Marketing, Strategy, and Amplification. Read more about it below!

The only Pinterest course…

that will teach you about amplification, and how to get to the top as a PRO blogger in 3 months.

An amazing bundle that will have your blog soaring with traffic in less than 3 months. Easy to follow guidance — I’m giving you the path to have massive traffic to your website with $0 in ads. Sell more books, products, increase your Google Adsense revenue, and attract brand deals that will want to work with you.

To be successful as a blogger, you need a few things: 1) a great website 2) three lead magnets or opt-in freebies (or more if you wish) that are relevant to what you offer 3) a welcome / nurturing email sequence 4) a unique / amazing product to sell and 5) traffic from Pinterest. Those 5 things are really all you need. You could eliminate social media altogether if you wanted (but you don’t have to!).

THIS is the time to learn Pinterest — a blogger’s and writer’s powerhouse of website traffic, because it revolves around search and what readers are actually interested in. It is the most underrated form of accumulating readers and followers who are fans of your work because it’s largely misunderstood as a “craft” and “recipe” site. It’s not. There are so many myths about Pinterest, I could talk for days. But instead, I’ll let my numbers speak for themselves.

If you have 2 hours to learn all about bringing traffic to your site (absolutely free), then I will teach you how I grew my blog from around 80k to 450k in page views a month, how to sell books, ebooks & planners (or whatever lovely creation you’ve made) directly off your website, all within 3 months.

This is exclusive training — this is the only course that focuses on amplification and gives you insider knowledge of one of the most powerful search engines.

sell more books off your website.

cut out the middle man.

In 2017, I made the decision to cut out the middle man, and remove my best sellers from the KU program and focus on selling them off of my website.

And man, I’m glad I did. Because I sell more books off my website thanks to Pinterest than I do on Amazon. And, I keep more money that way and Amazon gets zip. If you like keeping 100% of your royalty due, then you’re going to love this course.

Pinterest is the perfect way to sell more books, your planners, your ebooks, whatever! But learning the strategy is important — because you don’t just want to pin a bunch of your product images on Pinterest and expect the best. There’s a planned, strategic way to go about this, and that’s what I teach!

Learn more about selling books on Pinterest — what’s working, what’s popular, and how you need to watch and listen to your Pinterest analytics.
