who already know something about the platform In the same videos. One group or another would
be wasting time watching some parts of the video. So, I actually want to cover in
this video the most recent changes In the Pinterest marketing world and things
that will help you boost your account Faster. If you are completely

to create a business account on Pinterest – I’ve got you covered just in other videos on

marketing facts and trends for this year! As Pinterest is trying to catch up with
the trends in the social media world like The dominance of video content vs just
images, and other formats like Stories, The platform is giving an additional
boost to these relatively new formats. What has changed in comparison to the last year?
For example, video pins are no longer pending In the moderation waitlist for days or even
weeks like it happened in some cases before. That’s a big plus because now you
can actually schedule video pins and You can be sure they will be published
at the time you selected and not when Pinterest support has the time to
pass your video through moderation. A lot of new accounts that are getting a
sudden boost in impressions on Pinterest Own this success almost entirely to video pins. They are getting a lot of engagements
and can go viral easier than image pins. The only downside of the video pins is that
they don’t get as many click-throughs as image Pins but you can try to improve this number by
tagging product pins or even regular pins to all
Of your video pins. This can indirectly drive
you some traffic through the viral video pins. To wrap up this first tip, I want to tell you that
whenever you see a new format available in Beta For your account, definitely try to test
it because like all the other platforms, Pinterest gives priority to these new formats
because they want more users to try and test them. The second fact you need to know about Pinterest
marketing this year is that organic free traffic From this platform is still dominant for most
of the accounts compared to paid traffic. Although some people in the industry,
especially those selling Pinterest ads courses, Tried to make predictions
that Pinterest would take Most of the space in the feeds for promoted
pins since they became a public company, The reality is that for most of the websites
that have a strong presence on Pinterest, Most of the traffic is free. I’m not only
talking about bloggers, all kinds of businesses, Especially e-commerce stores are getting huge
amounts of free traffic from this platform. So if you want to jump on this train and take
advantage of the organic Pinterest traffic, Check out my Pinterest SEO Traffic Secrets
course. Pinterest is changing the algorithm, The interface very fast and if you watch my
videos on Youtube published just 6 months ago, I can not guarantee that you’ll find there
the most up to date Pinterest strategies. With my paid course I have control over
what you will find there in the lessons! In some periods, I have to make updates to the
course literally once a month. Anyway, you’ll Find the link to the course in the top right
corner and in the description below this video. The next trend in Pinterest marketing that
maybe not all of us are so happy about but It’s the reality so you either adjust
or lose the game. It’s about more fresh Content. Historically, Pinterest has been a
platform that had mostly duplicate content. It was designed this way – users are saving
images to their boards. The most popular images Are getting thousands of saves and that is a
lot of duplicate images. At some point, about 80% of all content on Pinterest was duplicate,
and that’s based on their official stats. This is why Pinterest is constantly
challenging content creators and business That want to promote their stuff on the
platform, to add more and more fresh content. Pinterest clearly wants more fresh pins and even
more so, they want more fresh page URLs to which Your pins are linked. This is good news for
big e-commerce stores and established websites With lots of pages. But it makes things harder
for small stores with handmade products or one Of a kind items because they don’t have such a
bit inventory to create hundreds of new pages. But there are a few things you can do as a
small store to add more fresh pages to your Site. If you can’t add more products, add more
content. Start a small blog attached to the store And write about your processes,
about the benefits of your products
Or your brand identity. Anything that tells the
story about your small business and why buyers Should support your store. All of this is on one
hand improving conversions and on the other hand, Helps you build more fresh pages to promote
your store on Pinterest with free traffic. The next fact is about
Pinterest trends and seasons. Traffic on this platform is highly dependent
on the seasons, holidays and trends. Sometimes People contact Pinterest support when they see
traffic has declined or got stuck in spite of All the efforts to create fresh content. And
you know what? In many cases Pinterest replied With an advice to experiment with different
trending topics because timeliness and Seasonality can seriously affect the results you
are getting from your efforts on the platform. So my advice is even if your products or
content are evergreen, still do your best To find a way to related your pins to some
holidays or seasons. You can check trends For specific keywords on trends.pinterest.com. And
I also have a printable Pinterest Trends Planner With all the holidays and seasonal topics
and keywords listed for the entire year. Check it out in the top right corner
