After one year of trial and error, 2 eBooks and 2 courses, I finally consider myself somewhat of an expert in Pinterest mistakes, simply because I might have done them all at one point or another. However, the good news is that you can certainly learn from my mistakes (some silly, others more common), fix them, and go viral in Pinterest much faster than I did.
In fact, going viral in Pinterest is very much possible if you know what you are doing. To me, unfortunately, that meant doing the same mistakes over and over again, all the while expecting my Pin to take off one day (I know, Einstein would have put me an asylum me now).
To my mind, I was under the impression that it only took time and I had to be persistent. But after a year not getting the results I thought I deserved after so much time instead into Pinterest, I decided something needed to change.
Without a doubt, after I started implementing the tips I am about to share with you, I more than doubled my traffic (and just within a few weeks in, I was reaching around 500 visitors a day, something that to me before was unfathomable).
From a measly 40 people a day to 500 in just a few days was a HUGE improvement, and my monthly views went from a joke to almost 700,000 monthly views in a matter of a few weeks more.
Lately, however, my traffic has gone down. I am rebranding from the travel niche and going towards something that excites me more.
This meant deleting old boards, creating new ones, and teaching Pinterest once again what my blog is about (in other words, making it understand that I am not longer writing exclusively travel-related content, which always takes a little while to get your metrics back in track).
PS – If you want to know why I decided to leave the travel niche, I have a post right here (and if you are in the travel niche and struggling with your newsletter or making money, then I strongly recommend reading it).
So, if you are struggling to increase your Pinterest traffic, check and see if you are making any of these Pinterest mistakes that keep your pins from going viral. If so, make some easy to implement changes that we will go over here, and watch your Pinterest traffic grow.

WHAT IS CONSIDERED GOING VIRAL ON PINTEREST?
Viral pins would be your highest performing pins and there is no set number that determines how many clicks or saves you need to get to go viral on the platform, but I’d say that viral pin is anything that brings you decent traffic to your blog.
It is funny how Pinterest works: Some viral pins only last a day or two while others last a week or sometimes even longer.
Some pins go viral right away. Others go viral months later when you least expect it.
This goes to teach us to never underestimate our pins. I have some ugly pins that people went crazy for, and others that I thought were beautiful that fell into oblivion.
With Pinterest, there is a lot of A/B testing to see what your audience resonates the most. You’d be surprised that the ones you least expect sometimes turn our to be your most popular pins.
WHY SHOULD BLOGGERS USE PINTEREST?
When you first start blogging a common frustration is not having an audience. In other words, it is extremely sad to put your heart into creating a beautiful website and spending hours writing a post filled with information you find valuable, only to have your mother reading them.
Ghost readers are a real thing and enough to discourage people that could potentially be great bloggers to keep on going.
It is true that for Google to take you seriously, you need to hustle a bit. Work on your SEO, site speed, backlinks, etc and that might take months until you see the first people coming in through google
Ain’t nobody got time for that. I get it!
Enters Pinterest.
If i can be honest, I personally was never a huge Pinterest user (I’d go only for the occasional recipe inspiration), but it turns out that Pinterest is much more important for blogging than I ever thought.
In fact, it is now my highest source of the traffic to my blog without having to spend hours on it. My current strategy revolves around spending just a few minutes a day and now that gets me hundreds of clicks to my blog on a daily basis.
So if you struggle with being patient, like me, or simply if you need quicker results to your website traffic, then Pinterest is the quick solution for you. Indeed, there is much more instant gratification by using Pinterest, as opposed to Google, simply because the results are more tangible.
Granted, some pins might take a few months to get you results, but truth be told, most pins will start calling in people much faster.
ISN’T PINTEREST JUST ANOTHER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM?
Not at all!!
Pinterest is, in fact, a search engine, just like our friend Google, and people will use Pinterest as a means to find results for a problem or question they are facing.
When they search, your pin may appear in the search results, and if your pin is one of the top-ranking for a popular search, you are likely to get quite a few saves and clicks.
Moreover, another huge difference from Pinterest to social media platforms is that with social media, your posts disappear fairly quickly. On Twitter, for example, your tweet is gone within minutes.
On Facebook and Instagram, your posts may show up for a few days but get most of their traffic in the first 24 hours (and moreover with the ever-changing algorithm is feels like so much work to bring in organic traffic).
With Pinterest, on the other hand, your pins are evergreen and can bring in traffic for months or even years.
And the best news yet: you don’t need followers to be successful in Pinterest, thus allowing you to have success quicker even if you are brand new (while social media platforms require an ever-increasing follower number to get more views).
A huge mistake I did in my first year of blogging was my obsession with growing my Instagram account organically and that was a huge waste of time. while is it nice to have an engaging account with man followers, Instagram is an over-saturated platform that takes a lot of your time and energy.
Pinterest allows for quicker gratifications and will bring you much more traffic to your blog.
COMMON PINTEREST MISTAKES YOU’RE PROBABLY DOING (& HOW TO FIX THEM RIGHT NOW)
First of all, it goes without saying that if you are making any (or all) of these mistakes, then you are in good company.
As stated at the beginning of this post, I have probably done all the Pinterest mistakes so far and that is why I am here today to let you know how to avoid them and what to do instead.
Know that some of these changes can be instantly implemented to get you results, while others might take a little bit more time.
If you want to save this post for later to gradually make the changes, or to refer back to see if you have successfully implemented all the changes, then here is a pin for you to save:
MISTAKE #1: NOT OPTIMIZING YOUR PINTEREST PROFILE
As I mentioned in my Pinterest Starter Guide for New Bloggers, failing to optimize your profile is the first, a mistake I see most new Pinners overlook.
Your profile is the first thing people see on your page. It also signals to Pinterest who you are and what your page is about. This is where you should be sure to insert as many keywords as possible to help P{intrest (and other users) identify what you are about and what problem/audience you serve.
If you’re in the beauty niche, insert ‘Beauty Blogger’, ‘Beauty Blog’ or ‘Makeup Beauty Expert’. This way, when people search for beauty bloggers, your page is more likely to show up that way.
Moreover, you should also fill in your biography in your profile and be careful here. You should be clear about what your blog is about, but be sure not to sound like a robot.
TIP – If you aren’t sure how to write it, or what exactly to insert, search for other bloggers in your niche and see what they use for their bio.
Lastly regarding optimizing your profile, be sure to claim your blog, Instagram, YouTube, and Etsy shop if you have one.
The reason to claim your website is that it proves to Pinterest you own it, and it will then provide you with statistics on your pins and your boards, and claiming your other social channels also gives you access to stats about pins from those channels.
RELATED POSTS
MISTAKE #2: NOT OPTIMIZING YOUR PINTEREST BOARDS
When I started my Pinterest, I made a board for each general topic and a few generic boards, and as I write more blog posts, I create more boards as I go.
As I talked about in my Pinterest guide for beginners, the goal of your boards is to be relevant to what you write about. This means, don’t go about creating boards on travel to China if you never write about Asia.
Ideally, you should be able to pin every blog post to at least five to ten boards (not more than 10, or you may be considered spam).
A tip I have from my own experience from struggling with this is to first create batches of topics you want to write about. Then, see what these topics have in common (what is their common thread? In my case, when I rebranded I wrote about Why I Decided to be a More Minimalist Woman in 2020, a few boards that could come out were: ‘Women’s Fashion’, ‘Spring and Summer Outfits’, ‘Elegant Style’, ‘Timeless Fashion’).
From there, you create your boards. It s easier doing this, rather than first creating boards because many times we create boards of things we like, or we name them differently from what we should to attract an audience type, which is not optimal in Pinterest.
Try it out and you’ll see it might save you a lot of time figuring this detail out.
ACTION ITEM If you have a few posts on the same topic, create a board for it. If you have existing boards that are unrelated to what you blog about, either delete them or make them private boards.
When you optimize your boards, it is also important to take your titles into consideration as they also play an important role in your optimization. Don’t pick cute or funky titles. instead, pick titles that use words people would actually search for and this will give you higher chances of being found in search results.
Should you create board covers?
While they do look aesthetically more pleasant, this should not be your focal priority, especially if time is something you juggle every day. While covers to your boards will make your feed look nicer, according to all the Pinterest courses and ebooks that I have purchased, they play a minimal roll in your Pinterest success.
As you can see below, some of my boards have branded covers while others don’t I don’t usually pay attention to this, however I found it necessary when I decided to rebrand, just so I make it clear to my audience that my main topics have altered.
Lastly, whatever you do, avoid keyword stuffing to your board descriptions. write the descriptions as if you would be talking to a friend, as opposed to simply listing all the related keywords.
Pinterest is picking up in keyword stuffing and let me just tell you that they are no big fans of it.
MISTAKE #4 NOT USING PIN DESCRIPTIONS ON IMAGES ON YOUR BLOG
For SEO purposes, every image on your blog needs to have alt text, regardless if you use Pinterest or not. Alt text allows people who use screen readers to know what the image is about. It is also what Pinterest pulls for your pin description if you don’t provide it another way.
For my pin descriptions and on regular images, I start by describing the image and try to add keywords when possible.
TIPS FOR REGULAR IMAGES
For my pin descriptions on regular images, I start by describing the image and try to add keywords when possible. For example, for a picture of me sitting in front of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona as ”Girl using a red dress, sitting on a bench in front of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain”.
The reason why I do this is because this adds some searchable keywords while still describing the image.
Then I add a sentence for Pinterest that says something like this: “Click here for my top Barcelona city tips, free guide inside” and about 4-5 related hashtags.
MISTAKE #5: NOT INCLUDING PINTEREST OPTIMIZED IMAGES ON ALL BLOG POSTS
For every blog post on your blog, start by creating AT LEAST three pins for it. Having pinnable images in your blog post makes the Pin much more likely to be shared and when you share these, they are much more likely to be clicked as well.
I sometimes participate in Facebook share groups and I often find blogs without any Pins to share with Pinterest and this is a bit frustrating (not to mention the blogger is missing some valuable opportunity of having their post shared by others).
Be sure to always, and I mean always, have pinnable images in your blog posts, with social share buttons, AND with keyword-rich descriptions.
TIP – In order to write Pin descriptions in your blog, you just have to fill in the Alt Tag and that is accounted for as a description for that Pin. Simply click the image and fill in the box that will appear to your right (such as the one circled in the image above).
This way, every time someone shares the pin from your blog to Pinterest, that description will be taken into consideration, thus infinitely increasing your exposure in Pinterest.
This brings me to the next topic:
MISTAKE #6: NOT PINNING IMAGES FROM YOUR BLOG POST
And I don’t mean only the Pins, I really do mean the IMAGES.
While images with a text overlay tend to get more clicks, don’t overlook the power of plain images, which still gets you clicks and sometimes more saves than a regular pin. Plus, you don’t have to do any work to create them – they are already there (you do need to always fill in the Alt Tag though).
I have a picture of me sitting in a rock at a beach in Cinque Terre that I shared from my blog post that to this day gets me hundreds of clicks, even during winter times.
Another added bonus of sharing images is if you struggle with content, or figuring out what to pin. You don’t have to take time to sit down and create these, but they can help fill your boards and your pinning schedule without much additional work (except filling in the Alt Tag, of course).
Speaking of which, I’d love it if you shared this post! 🙂

MISTAKE #7 NOT HAVING A “BEST OF” BOARD ON PINTEREST
Having a ‘Best of Blog” board allows you to easily showcase your best work. Since most of your other blogs will mix your pins with others, having a dedicated board to your work is extremely beneficial as it makes it infinitely easier for people to find your pins and see what you are about.
Of course, having a ‘Best of’ board is a great way to establish your branding.
This is the board I keep pinned to the top of my profile so it is the first thing people see on my Pinterest account.
Just so you understand how valuable this can be: Part of my ”friendly neighbor strategy” is to go to other blogger’s pages and pin some of their pins. I try to do this a couple of times a week for bloggers I have gotten to know or to thank people for pinning my pins.
Needless to say, It makes it so much easier if they have a “Best of” board. I can quickly find pins that belong to them to pin them.
In addition, if someone comes to my page and wants to pin some of my best pins, they do not have to search through my recent pins to figure out which ones are mine. They simply click on that board and pin any that interest them.
PRO TIP
Something that I have started implementing recently (since I started rebranding from the travel niche) is to create multiple “Best of” type boards with just your pins in them. For example, I have a general “Best of” board for the three main categories I talk about:
1. Best of La Belle Society – Women Lifestyle
2. Best of La Belle Society – Work with Brands
3. Best of La Belle Society – Blogging
I have also seen “Best of” boards for just Instagram posts if you want to feature your Instagram posts on Pinterest as well. That could help with growing your Instagram account (if your pictures are visually appealing).
MISTAKE #8 NOT PINNING TO THE MOST RELEVANT BOARD FIRST
In my Ultimate Pinterest Guide I talked all about this, but keep this in mind at all times: Always pin to the most relevant board first.
For example, my popular Barcelona City Guide post goes to my ‘Barcelona Travel‘ board first. Then it goes to my ‘Spain Travel’ board, then my ‘Europe Travel’, etc. Once I am out of my most relevant boards, I pin it to my “La Belle Society – Best of Travel” board. After I pin to my “Best of” board, it goes to my more generic boards like bucket list destinations and my group boards.
Do keep in mind to pin only up to 10 different boards. Anything more than that is considered spam by Pinterest.
By pinning them to your most relevant boards first, you signal to Pinterest what your pin and your blog posts are about. From there on, Pinterest can have a good idea of what my pin and my post is about. Keep in mind that your first five boards are your most important ones, so make them count to give your pin a better chance of going viral.
MISTAKE #9 YOUR PINS ARE UGLY AND/OR HARD TO READ AND/OR ALL THE SAME
It is hard to look back at my old pins and not cringe.
In fact, to this day I still make some design mistakes that would make most graphic designers turn their heads away. My journey towards templates that pleased both me and my audience was an arduous one, but I am finally satisfied with what I have going on for me.
Below I will share with you some examples of what I mean. Bear in mind that the travel niche style of Pins is very different from what my ideal design would be.
While I like more minimal designs, with neutral colors (such as the ones that work well in the beauty niche), the travel niche requires a more aggressive approach. This means using big, bold fonts and warm colors such as red and orange.
While they might not be as minimal as I like, they do get clicks and I guess that is what matters in the end. I do still create branded travel pins, where I share to my ‘Best of Travel’ board, but those are not the pins that bring me the most traffic for my travel content.
This furthers my point that having visually aesthetically pleasing pins is crucial to determine your Pinterest success. Not a lot of bloggers who talk about Pinterest go into detail about how different each niche’s templates work., but this is definitely something you should take into consideration.
Regardless of what niche you are in, I suggest you doing quick searches on the topic you will write about and see what are the general styles of Pins that appear. The ones that appear first are usually the most popular pins on that topic, so be sure that those are templates that work in that specific niche.
It is equally important to observe your pins statistics to understand their performance. Give yourself an honest assessment, are your pins as attractive as the ones at the top for your keyword? Observe if your pins are easy to read when scrolling. Do they stand out from the rest? If not, do what you can to fix them.
I try to pay attention to which ones work best and which ones do not perform as well. This plays a huge part in future titles for pins as I see what types of words tend to get the most clicks. I also pay attention to which designs work best.
Do the ones with a single image perform better than the ones with multiple images? Do the ones with me in them perform better, or are the ones without me getting the most engagement? By tracking this simple data, my future pins become more effortlessly optimized.
A great tip to make your pins stand out is to invest in stock photos. I say invest because that means your pins will look more exclusive than all the other pinners who are using free stock images. Using stock images has made a huge difference not only in my pins but in my website’s overall aesthetic.
If you’re interested in knowing, I use Haute Stock for all my website and Pin pictures. Before when I was exclusively writing travel content I was using Deposit Photo and I can’t say enough how revolutionizing that was to my traffic, honestly. Especially with regards to the travel industry, free high-quality photos can get extremely repetitive so finding Deposit Photo was an incredible way to revamp my entire pinning strategy.
See some Haute Stock gallery examples below:
See some Deposit Photo gallery examples below
If you are in the travel industry, I highly recommend checking it out (also amazing for most other niches, by the way, but I am talking from my own experience as a travel blogger)
Here are some helpful pin graphics preferences:
- Pinterest typically likes photos that are lighter or brighter instead of darker.
- Pinterest users also tend to be less likely to pin photos that show your face or make you a prominent part of the pin (this is obviously not the case in the fashion and beauty niches).
- Warm colors seem to work better than cool ones
- Be AT LEAST 600 pixels x 900 pixels. This is the size Pinterest suggests. Tiny little pins just disappear into the crowd. I often find success with 600 x 1250.
- Have an interesting/engaging title that makes people want to click through -vitally important (might take some practice.)
- Consider using unique photos (ones that you take or buy). I am convinced that using free stock photos can hurt you.
- Use photos with a light background and bright colors that draw the eye.
- Double check your pin on YOUR PHONE as soon as you pin it.
And now the moment of harsh truth: If you haven’t been seeing a lot of traction on Pinterest, there is a god chance your ins are bad.
When in doubt, go for larger text with a brighter background
MISTAKE #10 PINNING THE SAME PINS OVER AND OVER AGAIN
This mistake is especially big now that Pinterest has changed it’s an algorithm to favor new, fresher pins, as opposed to having old pins recycled over and over as before.
Pinterest loves and prioritizes new content. However, before you go crazy thinking you have to come up with new content every day, know that this does not mean that you have to constantly write new blog posts. You can simply create new pins for old blog posts and this takes less time than writing a full post (and as well bring new life to old posts).
Before, I used to create 3 pins per blog post and constantly pin them over and over again. While this strategy did get me a few initial clicks, it never took me where I wanted to go with my website traffic.
Now my strategy revolves around taking a day to create new batches of pins for my most popular posts (and for new ones that I want to take off).
Again, now with the new Pinterest algorithm favoring new pins on a daily basis, this might take a little more time on the creative side, so batching a lot of pins in advance is a real time-saver, especially if you have Pin templates.

MISTAKE #11 BEING CONSIDERED SPAM
If you already have an account though, suddenly changing all of your strategies with pinning can land you in Pinterest jail.
Be sure to build up your account at a good, steady pace. Be sure to pay attention to how many pins you save at a time and never pin to more than 10 boards (in other words, avoid Pinning the same Pin too many times).
MISTAKE #12 NOT USING GROUP BOARDS ON PINTEREST
Group boards are great, as long as they are engaged and relevant to the topic you want the promote the pin. It makes no sense for me to pin ‘How to Be More Elegant’ Pin into a ‘Europe Travel’ group board (you’ll also probably be banned from the board for posting irrelevant topics).
It also has little effect to pin to general boards. For instance, it would be much more efficient for you to post a ”8 Ways to be a More Minimal Woman in 2020” in a Minimalism group board than into a Best of Fashion group board.
Although the latter wouldn’t hurt, it wouldn’t be the most efficient thing to do with your time. And as we know it, time is money.
Here are a few tips when looking for Group Boards:
I used to join them all, but with time I started to change my strategy and be more picky.
You should look at the number of followers and contributors. If you have more followers than the board, it may not give you the exposure you want. I also look at the number of contributors. Some have thousands of contributors and your pins are likely to get lost in the shuffle in these.
HOW TO JOIN GROUP BOARDS ON PINTEREST
To join group boards on Pinterest, read the board description. Alternatively, sometimes there is a button to request to join the board directly on the board page. Sometimes you have to go to a certain website to sign up. The most common way is to reach out to the board owner.
MISTAKE 13 NOT USING TAILWIND FOR PINTEREST
To me, there is life before Tailwind, and there is life after Tailwind. I can’t tell you enough just how much Tailwind has changed my pinning routine and saved me time.
If you haven’t heard about it yet, Tailwind is a Pinterest-approved tool that provides you with an amazing way to pin regularly on Pinterest without having to be on the platform all the time. It is one of the best blogging tools to grow your blog.
When I first started on Pinterest, Tailwind was the only thing I used. I still use it, but I also pin manually (see the next Pinterest mistake for more).
You can schedule a day, a week, or months at a time and using the chrome extension makes it easy to add or even schedule all of the images from my blog at once to my boards.
Pinterest’s new guidelines recommend not pinning more than 25 pins a day. Anything more than that might be considered spam.
Also, with the algorithm favoring fresh pins, the best way to go on about Pinterest nowadays would be to manually pin the fresh pin to my most relevant boards right away.
Once this is done, I schedule out the rest of the (up to 10) related boards through Tailwind, using the one-day interval (Tailwind has an option to pin in intervals, so you can pin them all in a row or spread them out over time).
Using Tailwind saves me a ton of time on Pinterest.
If you wish to try Tailwind (which I honestly recommend you doing so) you can try it here and get a 15 euro discount.
MISTAKE #14 ONLY USING TAILWIND FOR PINTEREST & NOT PINNING MANUALLY
As mentioned before, when I first started, I only pinned through Tailwind. This isn’t a bad way to do it, and many people get great results this way. Others swear by manual pinning (such as Carly, who created the course Pinteresting Strategies, that I of course bought).
I find a mix of both works best for me. I pin to my most relevant boards manually and also repin some pins from my Activity tab or notifications in Pinterest manually.
Related: If you want to read my opinion on Carly’s Pinteresting Course, check it out on this post, altogether with my review on some other famous courses and books.
The reason behind manual pinning is simple, yet makes sense: it signals to Pinterest that you are an active user.
A good and effective way to go on about manual pinning is to go to your group boards. This is an amazing way to keep them active and to retribute the favor from others who share your content.
Lastly, I also upload some of my pins to Pinterest since I don’t want to put all of the fresh pins I created on a blog post.
Since I started pinning manually, my monthly viewers and my click rates have increased considerably.
MISTAKE #15: NOT USING TAILWIND TRIBES
Tailwind tribes are like group boards on steroids. If you use or decide to try Tailwind, make sure to use the Tribes.
The Tailwind Tribes work exactly like group boards: you share your pins and others can reciprocate and schedule your pins to fill up their pinning schedule.
Be advised that some Tribes require a certain ratio of shares. For example, the most successful tribe I am in requires you to share 3 pins for every 1 pin you share. The Tribe owners can easily check your ratio and kick out anyone who is not sharing enough pins without any notice required from his part.
TIP
With Tribes, your success is often based on two things: your pins and the number of times you share content.
#16 SHARING THE SAME PIN TO ALL TAILWIND TRIBES
Within Tailwind Tribes, you can share a certain amount of pins each month (you can certainly boost that monthly amount, but that would require to pay). I used to just share one pin to all of my tribes, then I tried to remember a few days or a week later to go in and share another pin with all of my tribes.
However, this is a horribly inefficient way to go on about your life’s potential.
Keep in mind that many tribes, especially niche ones, have the same members. While there are some people who will only see your pin in one Tribe, many will see it multiple times. Tailwind tells them which pins they have scheduled or published already. They can even exclude these so they do not see them again.
This to say that that if you share the same Pin in all of your Tribes, the people who already shared it will not share it again. If you share a different pin in each Tribe, even if from the same blog post, Tailwind does not tell them they already scheduled it.
Because it is a new pin, it is more likely to get another share from them (even if they already shared the first one). This gives you a better chance of getting your pins shared and out there to more people.
HOW TO KNOW WHAT IS WORKING ON PINTEREST
Now that you’re all set and you have fixed (or plan to fix) your Pinterest mistakes, how can you know if it is working, or not?
Go to your Pinterest analytics for and check your board analytics, where you can change the time period. It is best to look at larger ranges of dates like the last 30, 60, or even 90 days. Look at impressions, but also look at clicks.
Now scroll down to the bottom of the page. Here you see your top-performing pins during the time period you’ve determined. You have the option to look into impressions, saves, clicks, etc.
Another even better place to check for statistics is Google Analytics.
If you haven’t already done it, install Google Analytics on your website right away. There is honestly no reason for you not to do it. It is free and gives you more data than you will probably ever need on your website.
When you are in Google Analytics, go to Acquisition, then Social, and then click on Pinterest.
Google Analytics > Acquisition > Social > Pinterest.
This lets you see which pages on your site get the most clicks from Pinterest, just like magic! Again, you can adjust your time period to get a wider view, which is recommended for more accurate data.
If you wish to take it one step further, click on any of the pages there. This will bring up all of your pins that have brought in the most traffic in that time period and you can click those links to see which pins are working best.
- Is it from one of your boards?
- Did the clicks come from a pin on a group board?
- Are the clicks from other people sharing your pins?
- Use this to see what is and isn’t working with your pins.
MAKE TODAY THE DAY YOU GO VIRAL ON PINTEREST
Phew, we’ve made it, girls!
I’ve been meaning to write this post for so long and it is now thanks to the horrible Coronavirus and the quarantine I had some time to actually sit my bum down and write this complete post for you guys. I hope this was helpful in any way.
Once you are set up with your pinning, you’ll see that it does not take much time each day to pin or schedule it with Tailwind.
If you feel stuck or overwhelmed, try making some of these changes one at a time and get your traffic moving in the right direction again.
Happy pinning!
I’d love to have you as a Pinterest and Instagram friend.
