Most bloggers say they’ve seen a huge difference in terms of traffic because of Pinterest which is the truth in most cases. In my opinion, I wouldn’t consider Pinterest as a social media platform but rather as a search engine. I’ve only been using Pinterest for a couple months now and so far I’ve been loving it!
I want to start off by saying that it doesn’t matter how many followers you’ve on Pinterest. If you’ve loads of followers then good for you but you don’t need to have a huge number followers to increase your blog traffic. The more your pins will be pinned, the more people will check out your blog.
La plupart des blogueurs disent qu’ils ont vu une énorme différence en termes de trafic en raison de Pinterest qui est la vérité dans la plupart des cas. À mon avis, je ne considérerais pas Pinterest comme une plate-forme de médias sociaux, mais plutôt comme un moteur de recherche.
J’utilise Pinterest depuis quelques mois maintenant et je veux commencer par dire que le nombre de followers que vous avez sur Pinterest n’a pas d’importance. Si vous avez des tas de followers, c’est bon pour vous, mais vous n’avez pas besoin d’avoir un grand nombre de followers pour augmenter le trafic de votre blog. Plus vos épingles seront épinglées, plus les gens verront votre blog.

HOW TO USE PINTEREST TO INCREASE YOUR BLOG TRAFFIC
We can all agree that we’re a huge fan of Pinterest, it’s a source of inspiration and goals for many of us. You can pretty much find loads of stunning and aesthetic pictures, it’s literally heaven!
Nous pouvons tous être d’accord que nous sommes un grand fan de Pinterest, c’est une source d’inspiration et d’objectifs pour beaucoup d’entre nous. Vous pouvez à peu près trouver des tonnes de photos magnifiques et esthétiques, c’est littéralement le paradis!
SWITCH TO A BUSINESS ACCOUNT
The first step you need to do is to switch your Pinterest account to a business account where you can access more features. You’ve the option to see your stats in terms of how many people have pinned your pin, how many people see them, etc.
La première étape que vous devez faire est de passer votre compte Pinterest à un compte d’entreprise où vous pouvez accéder à plus de fonctionnalités. Vous avez la possibilité de voir vos statistiques en termes de nombre de personnes qui ont épinglé votre épingle, combien de personnes les voient, etc.
CREATE BEAUTIFUL TEMPLATES FOR YOUR BLOG POSTS
Pinterest is all about beautiful pictures and graphics so make sure you create beautiful templates for the blog posts you’re going to share on Pinterest. You don’t need an expensive program to create stunning templates, you can create pretty good ones using free programs as well such as Canva.
I’ve done a tutorial on how to create custom social media templates using Canva and I’ve included free social media templates as well (read the post here) so make sure to check it out!
Pinterest est tout au sujet de belles images et de graphiques, alors assurez-vous de créer de beaux modèles pour les articles de blog que vous allez partager sur Pinterest. Vous n’avez pas besoin d’un programme coûteux pour créer de superbes modèles, vous pouvez en créer de très bons en utilisant des programmes gratuits comme Canva.
J’ai fait un tutoriel sur la façon de créer des modèles de médias sociaux personnalisés en utilisant Canva et j’ai également inclus des modèles de médias sociaux gratuits (lisez le post ici) alors assurez-vous de jeter un coup d’œil!

JOIN GROUP BOARDS
There are many group boards available on Pinterest where bloggers can pin and share their latest blog posts. If the members of these group boards like your blog post then they’ll pin it in their boards and there’s a possibility that many more people will find it which is amazing! Some of these boards are often promoted on Twitter or you can find some by browsing on Pinterest as well.
Il existe de nombreux forums de groupe disponibles sur Pinterest où les blogueurs peuvent épingler et partager leurs derniers posts. Si les membres de ces forums de groupe aiment votre billet de blog, ils les épingleront dans leurs forums et il y a une possibilité que beaucoup plus de gens le trouveront ce qui est incroyable! Certains de ces forums sont souvent promus sur Twitter ou vous pouvez en trouver en naviguant sur Pinterest.

ADD A DESCRIPTION TO YOUR PINS
Most people forget to add a description under their pin but it’s a crucial step if you want people to find your pins in the first place. Don’t write sentences but add essential keywords that are related to the pin so when people type those keywords in the search bar, your pins will appear.
La plupart des gens oublient d’ajouter une description sous leur épingle, mais c’est une étape cruciale si vous voulez que les gens trouvent vos épingles en premier lieu. N’écrivez pas de phrases mais ajoutez des mots-clés essentiels qui sont liés à l’épingle, alors quand les gens tapent ces mots-clés dans la barre de recherche, vos épingles apparaîtront.

ADD A PIN IT BUTTON
If you’re using Blogger or WordPress (self-hosted) platforms, I’d highly recommend to add a “Pin It” button to your blog so from that way it’s easier to share your blog pictures and blog posts on Pinterest in a click. There are so many ways to add a “Pin It” button, you can either use a plugin or widget, search on the internet for more information.
Si vous utilisez des plates-formes Blogger ou WordPress (auto-hébergées), je vous recommande fortement d’ajouter un bouton “Pin It” à votre blog afin de partager vos photos de blogs et vos posts sur Pinterest en un clic. . Il y a tellement de façons d’ajouter un bouton “Pin It”, vous pouvez soit utiliser un plugin ou un widget, recherchez sur internet pour plus d’informations.

PIN LOADS OF PICTURES
With Pinterest, it’s all about pinning loads of pictures but you can create different types of boards based on your blog or preferences as well. The more you pin, the more people will see your pins so pin as much as you can every day!
Avec Pinterest, il s’agit d’épingler de nombreuses photos, mais vous pouvez créer différents types de tableaux en fonction de votre blog ou de vos préférences aussi. Plus vous épinglez, plus les gens verront vos épingles donc épinglez autant que vous le pouvez tous les jours!

Great post to come across and read. I’ve been using Pinterest for a while, but barely get any likes or anything on there, as compared to other social media platforms, so definitely will use your guide with some useful tips. Thank you for the helpful blog post.
I use Crowdfire for centralized distribution of WordPress.com blog posts and Fotojet for making featured images. It definitely helps with the workflow, and I enjoy using them for the most part. They are great cross platform time savers. They have free and commercial versions. Disclaimer: I don’t get paid to say that.
Very useful, thanks.
Glad you found it useful! x

This post is great!, I had Pinterest for quite a while now and I’m loving it. Also I love your blog, keep it up!
New Lune, this is very informative. I have a Pinterest account, but find I use it less than other social media. You’ve inspired me to revisit my account and liven it up a bit. Thanks for the great post. 🙂
My pleasure! ☺️
I love to use Pinterest and became obsessed with it whilst planning my wedding in 2015. I switched to a business account last year so I could look at the analytics etc. Even though I’m
always pinning away I find most of my blog traffic is from organic searches over social media or Pinterest. I should work at it a bit more! Fab post as always.

Thank you love! I used to use Pinterest ages ago and I didn’t even know how to use it back then, I only used to pin makeup looks and I’d get thousands of views – I thought it was a glitch lol 😅 Now years later, I’m getting the hang of it! x
I still don’t understand Pinterest, to be honest. But it’s something to keep in mind. Maybe one day. Thanks for this!
You’re welcome! Try to pin pictures first and you’ll learn the rest pretty quickly. I didn’t know how to use Pinterest at first as well but the more you use it, the more you’ll see it’s not that complicated!
Great post I’ve been sharing my posts on there, i will add a description but i didn’t know about the keywords thing or group boards
