Why Your Awesome Pinterest Image Isn’t Getting a Single Click
I remember when Pinterest was first launched around seven years ago. One of my colleagues said that it would never take off as a social networking site. I have to admit that I agreed at the time, but now realize how wrong we both were. Today, Pinterest is one of the most powerful online marketing platforms in the world and it boasts around 250 million active monthly users.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean that Pinterest is guaranteed to drive large amounts of traffic to your website. Many marketers believe they created very high-quality images, but they struggle to get a single click on their images.
Your first inclination is probably to think that Pinterest just isn’t the right website to promote your content. Many marketers heard that it is only good for promoting women’s clothing and jewelry, due to the demographics of the site. This is usually a copout because they could get a steady supply of quality traffic from the image sharing site with a better-optimized strategy.
