Are you considering opening a new business account?

I did and got charged 40 bucks for a new shop

[@michelle-stevens]

@@Mesohappy1 for a Pinterest account? Business accounts are free so it shouldn’t be from that.

[@BDdefense]

Madam can you please tell me how I can get paid through affiliate marketing & how to manage those brands so that I could tag their products or post a pin about those products

[@mikeharrison244]

I love the realistic view and strategy using Pinterest. Most of these Videos on YT make it seem like if you’re not a Millionaire within 90 days you’re doing something wrong. 😅

[@michelle-stevens]

It’s very frustrating to see. It makes people feel like they are failing when they are not.

[@cristianaandreia7621]

I’ve just started taking Pinterest serious for my business, this video has been very helpful

[@michelle-stevens]

I’m so glad it was helpful! I’m excited for you to get serious with Pinterest, give it some time & my best tip is to make sure you have your keywords in there!

[@Aarona_TheVirgo]

It’s why I got into blogging👍🏽✅ LIKE THIS❤ THANKS SIS!

[@michelle-stevens]

That’s amazing!!

[@ygswys]

keep in mind that pinterest counts your own views, saves, clicks as well. my face when I realized that all those 100 views are from ME renewing the page and the clicks are from me clicking just to stare at my pins😂

[@michelle-stevens]

Yes that’s true! LOL

[@jasoncollins2538]

Great Video! How long does it take to really get traction on Pinterest and does it happen overnight or does it compound over time? I have had a business account since May of 2023 and for 10 months I have been posting new pins every day. I have had days where impression count spikes to 1.5K, but still doesn't seem like it is working.

[@michelle-stevens]

It definitely takes time! Usually 6-9 months with a solid strategy. If you’ve been posting consistently without much traffic, I would look at your keywords & messaging and make sure you are giving a call to action.

[@jasoncollins2538]

@@michelle-stevens Thank you! Yes I have heard 6-9 months. Have you experienced Pinterest begin to really work after 6-9 months? What was the experience like? Is it like shifting gears in a car or is it like an airplane taking off?

[@tyshepherd4374]

Such beautiful pins you created! I hope my pins look that good. 😍 I’m in the process of creating my brand color palette on Canva. Than you for this great video! 💕

[@michelle-stevens]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@michelle-stevens]

Thank you for watching!

[@anastasiab9506]

how do i choose my niche? is there a way to search on websites like "public wants to know" or anywhere else what topics are the most popular at the moment? or what niches are the most profitable but the least represented?

[@michelle-stevens]

Choosing a niche is personal, first choose what you are interested in and knowledgeable about. Then you can test your ideas by using answer the public & cross referencing on places like, google, KZbin & Pinterest.

[@OmedyStories]

Hey Michelle, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also highly engaging thumbnails as well?

[@NotAnnaJones]

Please no music behind explainer videos.

[@digitaldeitymedia]

Yes its too distracting, otherwise I've subscribed and look forward to more :-)

[@pjrademacher888]

Yes I agree 😊

[@get2craft]

Thank you for your video :) I have a question, pretty please: When I use the Pinterest Pin Button extension (Google Chrome), to pin my one of my Esty listings, does it add my Etsy keywords to my Pinterest pin "tagged keywords"? or is it better to go directly to Pinterest and pin from there (filling out the keywords and link and title and description)? Or should I just not worry about those "tagged topics" on Pinterest? (also, why doesn't it let me edit my tagged topics even on my created pins?) I'm new to Pinterest. Thank you in advance!!

[@michelle-stevens]

No I don’t think it will add your keywords as tags. It does pull in your title and description.

[@Thisday2564]

Great info, thank you!

[@michelle-stevens]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sophia-luciakwon2792]

Hello, I missed some info. I’m wondering: Are there any benefits of having views? (In other words, what is the importance of more views?), Also, can we use other people’s photos and images to increase our views/popularity on Pinterest? Would that count as adequate content to build our personal market/brand?

[@michelle-stevens]

Views just show your content is getting seen, which is nice, but the more important metrics are saves and outbound clicks. You can save other people's content if you'd like. It should be relevant to your ideal client. But I would concentrate on pinning your own content to gain traffic to your website and offers.

[@gremics-gallery]

So to understand this correctly... The VIEW ICON is people opening your pin to have a closer look. The CLICK ICON is people clicking through on the link. The PIN ICON is people saving the pin to a board somewhere. Is this correct?

[@michelle-stevens]

So Impressions means your pin was shown on the page someone was looking at. Engagement is when they interact in some way. Clicks is when they click through on the link and save is when the save your pin to a board. Hope that helps!

[@passionnantfacts7896]

This was very helpful Michelle .... And was trying to find your posts on Printerest ... But I couldnt .... I cant find it or what ? I muust say your video was very helpful and thank you so much for it ...

Hi! You can follow either my Pinterest for my business at Pinterest.com/grow_withmichelle or the new account at Pinterest.com/lovelyeventspaperie. I have not posted recently on the events site.

[@TemperanceLibraRising]

I love that Lets get Crackin Would love to see you design a graphic for that. Are you this new to ecommerce. I would love to follow . We have started at the same time LOOK AT YOU LADY gettn it crackin

[@michelle-stevens]

I am newer to e-commerce and I’d love to have you come along. So happy you are here!

[@TemperanceLibraRising]

@@michelle-stevens thank you. I will this helps me to wrap my mind around the possibilities and being realistic and what is possible. You aren't a POD seller and KZbinr that is still milking pandemic sales not gross income and social proof . Breath of fresh air actually

[@kasforai]

Can you get same results without tailwind?

[@michelle-stevens]

You can schedule through the native scheduler also! The difficult thing without Tailwind is just getting your product listings in. I use tailwind to pin the shop listing directly, but you can do it with the Pinterest chrome extension. Just be sure that you don't pin more than one an hour and I'd say no more than about 4 per day. Using the Chrome extension. Pinning a bunch of products will get you marked as spam. Which is why I use Tailwind to schedule. But can be done without just be careful with it!

[@kasforai]

@@michelle-stevens That shit is too expensive for now Yeah I've already used native planner

[@michelle-stevens]

@@kasforai totally get it! The native scheduler is great, and free which makes it even better😂

[@shimmerjan8269]

I struggle with getting followers do you have any tips how to get followers?

[@michelle-stevens]

The good news is that followers aren’t a big deal on Pinterest. But if you do want more, I’d link your Pinterest account as many places as you can & ask people to follow. Like emails, websites, IG, FB etc. But I wouldn’t stress about it!

[@TheChrissyRey]

Thanks! This is very helpful

[@michelle-stevens]

So happy it was helpful! Let me know if you ever have any questions:)

[@cindyfinlayson4197]

Why music ? 😩

[@FunFiesta-em4eq]

Your music in the background is a great deterrent. It doesn't create a great ambiance , but makes things difficult to follow. Would be be better if you do without it!. My two cents.

[@michelle-stevens]

Understood. I’ve received these comments multiple times & I get it. Unfortunately I can’t take the video down & upload without music without losing views. However I have taken the feedback for my future videos. Sorry the music was distracting:)

[@MrDeSilva]

hey Michelle, great tutorial! It's been super helpful as I'm creating my first ever Pinterest account. You've gained a new subscriber here, #707 (my lucky number lol) thanks a lot for your contribution! ps quick question for you: I'm really impressed with how you seamlessly integrate showing your face, fading off, and then coming back what tool do you use to create your videos and to record your computer screen? thanks in advance. perharps you record yourself with your cell phone? and OBS for your screen ? I like it a lot!

[@michelle-stevens]

Thank you for your comment! I am pretty low tech, I use komodecks for my screen recording and I use my phone to film. I use Descript and Capcut to edit my videos. That's what works for me!
