🎯 The Strategy in 7 Steps

Step 1 — Find Pins with the Highest Saves (Not Repins)

Open your Pinterest account → use SortPin to view hidden pin data.

🔑 Key metric: look at saves, not repins. Saves indicate the post received both direct shares AND re-pins — proof that many people genuinely like the content.

💡 Saves = King on Pinterest. More saves = more reach = more traffic potential.

Step 2 — Target Informational "How-to" Keywords

Focus on informational content ("how to", tutorials, guides) — these have the biggest traffic volume.

⚠️ Trade-off: Informational keywords have lower conversion rates (~$30/day from 3K traffic). But the volume compensates and you build trust over time.

Step 3 — Edit the Image (Light Editing)

Use Canva to make small edits to high-performing images so Pinterest doesn't flag them as duplicates.

💡 Lazy mode: You can upload the original image directly, but Pinterest may scan and flag your account. Light editing is safer.

Edited pin image example

Install Pretty Link (WordPress plugin) and create a shortened URL pointing to the original author's post for now.

Step 5 — Post on Pinterest with the Shortened Link

Use the new image + the shortened URL (Pretty Link) + the original title/description.

  • 🔄 Switch destination later — once Pinterest sends you steady traffic, redirect Pretty Link to your own blog

⚠️ Critical: Do NOT edit the URL directly on Pinterest. Pinterest resets all engagement to 0 when you edit a post. This is why Pretty Link is essential — you redirect outside Pinterest's system.

Step 7 — Scale Slowly

  • 🆕 New accounts: post 5 pins/day

  • 📈 After 1 month: scale up to ~20 pins/day

  • 🚫 NEVER exceed 30 pins/day — even on old accounts (account suspension risk)

💡 What About POD (Print-on-Demand) Products?

Product keywords are buyer intent keywords — fewer searches but higher conversion. However, you'll notice product pins get fewer saves than informational pins.

Verdict: Whether informational or product-focused, always optimize for saves. That's the metric that drives reach on Pinterest.


🎯 Key Takeaways

  1. Saves > Repins — saves indicate genuine interest

  2. Informational keywords = high volume, lower conversion (but consistent)

  3. Use Pretty Link for tracking and future redirect flexibility

  4. Light image editing prevents duplicate flags

  5. Scale slowly — 5 pins/day → 20 pins/day max in month 2

  6. Never edit pins on Pinterest — it resets engagement to 0
