How to Use Pinterest Strategically to Drive Long-Term Traffic and Grow Your Business
If you’re a blogger, coach, or content creator who wants to grow your business without being glued to social media 24/7, there’s one platform you should be paying attention to: Pinterest. What a lot of entrepreneurs don’t realize is that Pinterest isn’t just another social media site. It’s a visual search engine, and that distinction makes all the difference. Unlike Instagram or Facebook, where your content disappears in 24 to 48 hours, Pinterest pins can continue driving traffic to your blog, website, or freebie for months—or even years—with the right strategy.

And that’s where I come in.
One of my favorite parts of being a Pinterest Virtual Assistant is creating strategic, scroll-stopping, beautiful, functional pins. I take my clients’ existing blog content and create optimized Pinterest graphics that reflect their brand and drive long-term visibility. Every pin I create is designed with purpose, from keyword-rich titles to intentional design that aligns with their audience. The goal is always to get results, not just repins, but actual clicks, traffic, and conversions.

So, whether you’re feeling stuck with Pinterest or just don’t have time to stay on top of it, this post will walk you through what’s working on Pinterest right now—and how you can use it to build a content strategy that works for you, not against you.



Why Pinterest Is More Than a Social Platform
Let’s clear something up right away: Pinterest is not a social media platform in the traditional sense.
You don’t need to engage in comments, post daily stories, or compete for likes.
Pinterest operates more like Google than Instagram. People come to Pinterest to find answers, solve problems, and plan for the future. That means your content has the power to meet them in that exact moment, right when they’re searching for what you offer.
When you optimize your pins with the right keywords and design them to stand out, Pinterest becomes a powerful part of your long-term marketing strategy.

What’s Working on Pinterest Right Now
If you’ve tried Pinterest in the past and didn’t see results, don’t worry - Pinterest has evolved, and your strategy should too. Here’s what’s currently working on the platform in 2025:

1. Consistent Pinning, Not Constant Pinning
You don’t need to post 20 pins a day. What works better is consistency. Aim for a steady, sustainable schedule—whether that’s 3 pins a day or 10 pins a week. Pinterest loves fresh content, but that doesn’t mean you have to burn out creating it.

2. SEO-Driven Titles and Descriptions
Pinterest is a search engine, which means keywords are everything. From your Pin titles and descriptions to your board names and blog headlines, every element should be infused with relevant keywords your audience is actively searching for.
Tip: Think like your ideal reader. What would they type into the search bar when looking for your content?

3. Intentional, On-Brand Pin Design
Your pins need to stop the scroll. Clear headlines, easy-to-read fonts, and visually cohesive design matter. But beyond looking good, your pins should reflect your brand and your voice. The goal is to build recognition and trust over time.

4. Strategic Boards with Clear Niches
Boards are often overlooked, but they’re a crucial part of Pinterest SEO. Each board should focus on a specific topic your audience cares about, and be optimized with strong keywords in both the title and description.

5. Repurposing Blog Content the Right Way
You don’t need brand-new content to succeed on Pinterest. Some of my best-performing pins come from repurposed blog content. If you have evergreen blog posts, you can create multiple pins per post, each with a different title or image, to drive more clicks and reach new audiences.



Why Pinterest Is a Smart Long-Term Strategy
Here’s the beautiful thing about Pinterest: it gives your content longevity.
Instead of chasing daily visibility or trying to keep up with ever-changing social media algorithms, Pinterest allows your content to work for you in the background.
You do the work once—create the blog post, design a few pins, optimize with keywords—and that one piece of content can continue serving you for months to come.
It’s the ultimate slow-burn strategy for building organic traffic, growing your email list, and nurturing long-term visibility without the constant grind.



Don’t Want to Do It All Yourself? That’s Where I Come In.
Pinterest can be incredibly powerful, but it’s also time-consuming to keep up with design, keywords, fresh pins, and strategy updates. If you’re at a place where Pinterest feels like “just another thing” on your to-do list, I’m here to help.
