How to Use Pinterest Trends to Boost Your Marketing Efforts

Let’s dive into one of my favorite Pinterest tools that’s going to make your brand shine: Pinterest Trends. On my blog and podcast, I share weekly trends, and I often get asked, “This is great, but how do I use this information to market my business?” Today, we’re going to cover that in detail.

What are Pinterest Trends?

Pinterest Trends is like your new BFF for figuring out what’s hot and when it’s hot. This handy tool shows you the top search terms in different countries or regions over time. It’s perfect for planning your Pinterest marketing months in advance because let’s be real, pinners love to plan!

How to Use Pinterest Trends

  1. Log into Your Business Account: If you can’t see **trends.pinterest.com** or it’s not available in the top left menu of your Pinterest account, you might need to switch to a business account because this feature is exclusive to business users.
  2. Navigate to trends.pinterest.com: On your desktop, head over to Trends.Pinterest.com.
  3. Select Your Region: Choose your region from the dropdown menu. If you’re in countries like the U.S., you’re in luck since the U.S. pops up first. For those in Canada or other regions, just find your location or select the region relevant to your audience.
  4. Enter Keywords: Pop in your keywords and let the magic happen. If you don’t have specific keywords in mind, just scroll down to see what’s trending in your region. You’ll spot popular content and observe its growth compared to the previous week, month, or year.
  5. Think Like Your Clients: Be creative and consider what your ideal clients might be searching for.
  6. Filter with Finesse: You can filter by interest, age, and gender using the left-hand navigation. You can also filter by trend type, such as top monthly trends, top yearly trends, growing trends, and seasonal trends. Click on a trend, and the keywords will update automatically.

Analyzing and Acting on Trends

Once you’ve gathered all this exciting information, take note of when a search term peaks. You want to pin content related to those trends about two to three months before they peak. This way, your pins get into the Pinterest ecosystem just in time for searches to ramp up.

Consistency is Key

Make it a habit to review Pinterest Trends monthly. If your business is seasonal, at the very least, check quarterly. This will turn your brainstorming sessions into actionable strategies that bring real results.

By using Pinterest Trends, you’re setting yourself up to work smarter, not harder, turning those insights into practical marketing steps that really drive success!

Pinterest Affiliate Marketing: Ditch the Sales Pitch & Build Real Connections (Like a Boss!)

Content Creation, Marketing, Pinterest

Today, we're jumping into the fabulous world of affiliate marketing on Pinterest. Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned pro, it's time to forget what you think you know about affiliate marketing and embrace a fresh, more genuine approach. by Jen Vazquez Media jenvazquezcoach.com

Pinterest Affiliate Marketing: Ditch the Sales Pitch & Build Real Connections (Like a Boss!)

Hey, friend! Jumping into the world of affiliate marketing on Pinterest can be like stepping into a fabulous online party. So much pretty, so much potential! But hold up a sec, let’s chat about the technical side of affiliate links on Pinterest, and an even bigger deal: how to totally change your strategy to make those links actually work.

Forget what you think you know about affiliate marketing. If you’re all about pinning a million links and hoping for the best, honey, it’s time for a glow-up.

Get Real with Pinterest’s Amazing Audience

Unlike those other platforms, Pinterest users aren’t just scrolling for fun (well, maybe a little fun). They’re searching for inspiration, solutions, and products that make their lives better. And guess what? The most successful affiliate marketers on Pinterest get that. They’re not pushy salespeople; they’re your trusted BFF, sharing the good stuff. Ready to become that BFF for your audience? Let’s dive in!

Show Your Value, Girl! That’s the Secret Sauce

Here’s the truth bomb: People click on your affiliate links when they see the value you bring to their life. So, ditch the product dumps and let’s get creative:

  • Lifestyle Content: Don’t just talk about it, show it! Promoting a spring coat? Share killer outfit ideas, where you’d wear it, and how it makes you feel amazing. Real-life use is where the magic happens.
  • Tutorials: Be the guru your audience adores! A quick video recipe using that new kitchen gadget? A makeup tutorial featuring an affiliate product? Leave them wanting more and eager to visit your site (and shop!).
  • Honest Reviews: Become the queen of unbiased product comparisons. Authenticity builds trust faster than a double espresso, especially in those personal areas like wellness.
  • Trend Spotting: Pinterest is all about what’s hot right now. Use those trend predictions to showcase your awesome affiliate finds. Your audience will love you for being their go-to trendsetter!

Tagging Like a Pro: The Technical Stuff

Alright, let’s get a little techy (but don’t worry, we’ll keep it simple). Tagging works a bit differently on mobile and desktop. Mobile lets you tag while you upload, but on desktop, you’ll need to edit after uploading. Keep your pins clean and relevant, with no more than five tags per pin, to keep things valuable and engaging. Remember, too many tags just scream ‘spam.’ Stick to your top 5 relevant keywords per Pin, and you’re golden!

Grow with Grace: It Takes Time, Babe!

Here’s the real talk: growth isn’t instant. There are no magic numbers. Instead, celebrate every new follower, every genuine question… those are the little wins that lead to major success.

Connection: The Heart of Pinterest Affiliate Marketing

In Pinterest’s most popular niches (think food, fashion, beauty), connection is EVERYTHING. This isn’t about a quick buck; it’s about showing your audience you get them, and that the products you promote will truly make their lives better.

Pinterest Management

WHY HIRE A PINTEREST MANAGER?

As a busy entrepreneur, you’re probably exhausted trying to keep up with all the changes and don’t have time to do #allthethings, so you are ready to outsource your Pinterest management and marketing to someone else so you can get more leads and traffic to your website and grow your business or blog to the next level and you can work in your zone of genius!

Ethics & the Long Game

In a world that’s all about instant gratification, successful affiliate marketing takes a different approach. Always put value first, be upfront about your affiliate relationships, and stay true to your brand’s awesome message.

The Bottom Line

Pinterest affiliate marketing is a goldmine, but only for those who are willing to build genuine connections. Be a guide, not a billboard. Provide real value, be honest about those affiliate links, and focus on building trust. That’s how you create lasting success (and maybe even make a few new friends along the way!).
