Pinterest And Etsy (FOR BEGINNERS) Increase Etsy Sales With Pinterest

[@JamesSmith-c6v]

Cassiy - Thank You! This video saved me hours of trying to figure out how to use Pinterest to help boost my Etsy traffic. I really appreciate the great training and advice you provide.

[@margievanhandel259]

Cassiy, Thank You. I too have been intimidated by the whole Pinterest thing. Looked for tutorials that would help, but they all seemed to think that I "totally got it", well I didn't, so was totally confused. This helped greatly to get me started. And, your teaching style is really wonderful. None of this, "I've succeeded attitude. Really, you don't get this?" Continue what you're doing, and keep it Real. Great channel!

[@CassiyJohnson]

Wow Margie these comments really mean so much to me! I really enjoy showing the tiny step by step instructions because I know when I started I felt like there was a lot missing, I am so glad I can help fill that gap! Really appreciate your support

[@shellygray6197]

I just feel overwhelmed on Pinterest. I have a Etsy shop on Florida Inspired Digital Art. I just wish it wasn't so confusing. I did get value from your video.

[@DJKBELL]

I’ve been having Pinterest for 10 years, but never uploaded my own pins. I was wanting to utilize Pinterest to advertise my listings but had no clue how to do so. This really helped me! Your tutorials are the best! Thank you! I’m so excited to see success!

[@kristiechiles]

Pinterest is so worth it. I have pins I made over 3 years ago still bringing in new subscribers each week. I love it! Hang in there!

[@MerchByLynh]

Been watching tons of Pinterest video for POD, and finally found one that make so much sense and straightforward. Thank you so much for sharing to help and empower us beginners.

[@CassiyJohnson]

So glad this more exact step by step tutorial could help you, thanks for watching!!

[@kimclark-qi3il]

I'm still in the dark😢 I have no idea how to connect my creations to etsy or pibestrest. Is there anything even more elementary I can learn from? These words Pins and boards are Greek to me. Can anyone direct me? I'll be so extremely grateful!

Thank you so much for all the great information you give. It was so easy to pin my products on Pinterest and I got carried away and got deactivated. LOL! (From now on I'll just pin a few a day.) I haven't sold anything on Etsy yet (I just started) but after I added an item on Pinterest, I saw that someone saved it as a favorite. Thanks for all the encouragement. I'm so glad I found you on here. :)

Another great video - I was really struggling with trying to figure out how post my Etsy shop items on Pinterest without my head exploding and this video was like magic - so simple and easy to understand - and I am now pinning away. Thank you!

[@dianaburtondigital]

I just found this video, and it was so helpful! My Etsy shop is in the home decor niche, and I've known for a while that I needed to promote on Pinterest but was struggling to figure it out. Thank you so much, Cassiy! You explained how really well, and it was so simple to follow along!

With in 48 hours I have noticed a vast improvement in my views and sales on Etsy and another POD platform I use. I have a question, is there any way to have my Pinterest pin go directly to that particular listing on Etsy? I noticed when a buyer clicks one the product in Pinterest it takes them to my Etsy shops main page and the buyer will have to scroll my listing to find that particular item.

Hi Cassiy, just watched this video for a second time. i always find your videos very helpful. i really want to learn how to use pinterest better. there are lots of videos that say use pinterest and find group boards and join them. which is all well and good, but I'm struggling to find videos that actually show you how...how to find group boards, how to join them and use them etc, are you doing anymore videos on interest? I'm hoping you will because you seem to explain things much better than others. also I'm finding that the videos that i have watched about it they speak too fast its hard to absorb what they are saying. thank you as alawys

[@CassiyJohnson]

Hi Amy! I am really glad my videos have been able to help you, I really try to show things nice step by step so they are easy to understand. I honestly don't do anything more with my Pinterest than what I showed in this video. It's a good thing to use as a tool but I don't go really crazy with Pinterest. Pinterest should be more like the fuel on the fire, not the fire starter if that makes sense. So if you aren't getting sales right now, instead your time is better spent finding better niches, making better designs, buying better mock-ups etc.

Do you do this for your business....if so, what recommendations do you have for growing an email list? Also, any other social media platforms you use other than Pinterest?

[@creatingsmartreaders6606]

Hi and thanks for that good information. I'm new to Pinterest and still learning. I found a Group Board for my Etsy business that I joined. However, I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to actually post my pins onto it. Can you do a short tutorial on how to pin on the Group Boards? Thanks so much.

[@CassiyJohnson]

You just pin to it like any other board, when you click post pin then all your boards will come up as options and the group board you joined should show up as well.

[@PlatonVasatis]

Thanks for your video, my problem is that by saving a product using your way. The pin on pinterest doesn't redirect my product to my etsy shop but to ETSY in general!!

[@CarlosRodriguez-vg2ob]

you video was extremely helpful

[@sabrinairons4282]

Loved this video! Question: what % would you say Pinterest drives sales for your Etsy shop and do you utilize Pinterest in other ways separate from your Etsy shop?

[@CassiyJohnson]

Great questions Sabrina! I wish that Etsy showed you these types of analytics but they don't. I can see how many people have come to my shop from Pinterest, but it doesn't tell me how many people actually purchased. In the last 30 days I have had about 80 people actually come to my shop from my Pinterest Account. So definitely not my main source of income but I don't put almost any effort into it other than just adding it to a board from my Etsy shop page. I rely pretty much solely on Etsy SEO to bring me sales, but in time I'm hoping to get more organic traffic as well as I am considering starting my own website soon as well and want to know how to drive traffic to it!

[@bethlongstreet]

Would love how to market my POD shop? What content to make other than just posting my product. Starting to sell hoodies/ tees Thanks so much

[@spedtchrjen]

This was really great. Your videos are extremely informative. The only thing I am confused about is what if I have Etsy, Ebay, and Shopify. Am I only doing Etsy to Pinterest or can I do all three stores?

[@lynnelane7964]

Hi Cassiy thank you so much for your video you talk at a lovely calm pace and straight to the information. I already have a business account that has lots of boards that are not related to what I sell would it be best if I open a personal account and slowly pin my personal stuff onto that as i really do want to keep them , and then concentrate on boards relevant to my Etsy shop only. Or should i scrap the whole lot and start again ?

[@alisonturner9654]

Can you update this video? The layout on Pinterest has changed :-) And particularly the part on finding relevant Group Boards. Thanks!

[@yuly2917]

Hi Cassy , did you know that Etsy take out 15% from your sell as an Offsite Adds? I just make a sell from Pinterest and Etsy take out 2.95 $ for Offsite adds . I was on shock as a new seller that was my profit lol since I lower the price so my designs can take off

[@jeanathey767]

Thanks so much for all your efforts to help those of us using Pinterest as a marketing tool for the first time. When you were discussing Tailwind, you said that I'd send along "my SEO" to the service. I know that SEO is the optimization part of Etsy's search engine, but I didn’t know it had anything to do with my shop or myself specifically. Can you expand a bit?

Cassie, I have loved watching many of your videos. I have been working on making new designs in canva, but I just don't feel confident enough to post them to my etsy store yet. How did you get the courage to start your business from scratch?

[@CassiyJohnson]

Your first designs aren't going to be your best ones, you just have to jump in and try! This is a business of testing things until you find what works. I love the old saying "progress over perfection". You just have to focus on your "why". What does having a successful Etsy business mean to you, how can it change your life? Won't it be worth it? Do yourself a favor and just jump right in! I'd also recommend doing some self improvement as well, because you are never going to get over your imposter syndrome on your own! Some good books to read would be "Unfuck Yourself" "The Subtle Are Of Not Giving A Fuck" and "The Magic Of Thinking Big". These books and others have given me the right mindset to run a successful business and to live a happier life

[@get2craft]

Hi Cassiy! Thank you for your video :) I'm just starting on Pinterest, so still confused as to how to use Pinterest. I created a business account. But I have two completely different shops on Etsy, so do I create two different Pinterest accounts for each shop, or do I create different boards, or how doest that work? Also, in one of my shops, I sell printable junk journal pages and kits and in my other shop I sell printable greeting cards, party favors and wall art. Should that all be in one Pinterest account or two different ones? And my second question is about "TAGGED TOPICS" on Pinterest: 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!!

[@donnakurland2721]

PUPPIES!!! ❤

[@CassiyJohnson]

Puppies are the BEST

[@teebizz1184]

Another great video! Does it matter to post the default square pins or is it better to take the time to create the rectangular vertical ones?

[@CassiyJohnson]

I really just recommend doing it this quick and easy way. If you ever get some super good sellers on Etsy, that's the only time it might be worth promoting it more on Pinterest with the vertical pins. But sometimes my pins will get 1000's of resins and likes on Pinterest but literally never sell once. So Pinterest is not something I spend almost any time on. The best part about Etsy is that it brings you tons of free organic traffic! So I'd focus more on that part of it instead as the big focus!

[@teebizz1184]

Thank you so much for your response. So very grateful.

[@karinavillarreal2062]

thank you for sharing great information! so how many pins a day would you say would be ideal?

[@CassiyJohnson]

I’d say 10-15 per day would be the max but in the beginning if you just opened your account, then I’d do like 5 a day so they don’t think you are a bot and close your account. But if your account does get open, don’t worry you can email them and they will open it again for you!
