'How do I even get started on Pinterest?'

do this, it'll take u maybe 3 hrs/month:

1. Set up 10 boards (sub-topics of your niche) eg if you're a skincare brand: glowy skincare tips, acne tips, etc

2. Give each 10 boards a 500 character keyword description (use Claude if you must) make sure they're a mix of high search volume long- and short-chain keywords

3. Per board, make 3 variations of an 800 character keyword list these are all your pin titles and descriptions sorted

4. Post 10 pins per board, using step 3 as titles and descriptions it'll take an hour. use the same template, just change the info

^^ this is the set up, you do it once and it takes you maybe 2 hours if ur slow. 20 mins if ur fast

5. Post pins daily, schedule in bulk using the native scheduler more pins = more growth. do 1-5 pins per day to begin with

that's quite literally it besties 🥲

you'll see results from month 2-3 onwards

Pinterest is long-form, so the growth compounds

eg it's not like Insta/TikTok where posts only get reach for a few days, every single pin gets reach for YEARS

you'll boost your brand's SEO you'll show up in Google Search (+ Google Images) you'll have a new revenue stream by month 6

ur welcome x

Working on this for your own brand? This is exactly what I do with clients — agency model for health & wellness brands.
