Mastering Pinterest marketing can bring about a staggering income growth….continued below
1. Repins
Repinning one’s post is a good web site traffic generation strategy. When one repin a pinned image, Pinterest’s system automatically sends out an email to the person notifying the repin done. Chances are, when someone receives the notified mail, they would likely visit the account of the person who shared the picture and check out the link where the image was used.
‘The main goal in making a ‘repin’ is to have the other person visit your accounts and go over your boards and funnel them to following the links you promote.’
2. Leaving Relevant Comments
In Pinterest, commenting strategy works too. Leaving comments in the pictures of those people you are following can drive traffic to your site. When comments are posted your account is made visible to a larger group of people. The potential of catching attraction thereby increases. But of course, this only happens when you leave a thoughtful remark. One can even post a ‘call to action’ if necessary, relevant and appropriate.
Furthermore, an automatic message sent to the person whose picture was posted with comments contains a link to give them the chance to respond to the comment made. This increases the potential of gaining traffic to a site too.
3. Following Others
Universal social media ethics says, if you follow me I’ll do the same. This increases your visibility and potential of getting more connections that might follow the site you are promoting too.
Like any social media networks, Pinterest is a place where ‘real people’ connect with each other. For this reason, it is important to minimize self-promotion in the platform and get connected with others. Offer something of value and you’ll get something valuable too. Relationship building is a strong pillar of web site traffic generation strategy using the social media. Initiate real connections with others and you will get more opportunities to directly promote your services or products. Pinterest is a great place to drive traffic to your site, however to do this you are always required to lead your implementations with value.
