We’ve tackled Pinterest marketing myths in previous podcasts but it’s been a while. Let’s bust some of the myths that have surfaced (or continued to persist) in 2021. 

We hear rumors, theories, and misinformation about Pinterest all the time. Separating truth from myth can be a bit frustrating and time-consuming. No one has time to waste going down the wrong rabbit trail. Am I right?!

Today we are going to debunk some of the false chatter we get asked about all the time. Let’s put some of that misinformation to rest and get you on the right track.

Before we dive in, I want to let you know about our organic Pinterest management services.

Also, I wanted to give you a heads up that it’s time for a summer break for the SPM podcast. I believe in the power of rest for my team, so you will not see a new podcast for a few weeks. 

We’ll jump-start a new season on August 4th with a new podcast about how to get ahead for the holidays with your content marketing. It’s going to be a fun one! 

In the meantime, you can catch our posts on Instagram, grab some tips inside our communities, and catch up on past episodes of the Simple Pin podcast. 

Alrighty! Let’s dive into some Pinterest myth-busting.

As I’ve mentioned, we addressed Pinterest myths before in our initial Pinterest Myth Busters episode and a follow-up episode way back in 2018. So why am I talking about it again? Because people continue to get derailed and distracted by them. 

It’s really hard to see people going down that rabbit hole of a crazy myth only to find that it’s not accurate. They spend precious creative time working on these mythical tactics and then lose more time backtracking and trying to find the right strategy. 

We work hard at Simple Pin in order to bring you accurate information. We don’t pretend to know everything and we’ll tell you when we don’t know. Then we’re going to help you find the best answer. 

Feedback from our recent Instagram Reel on this topic confirmed that people are still believing some of the myths we talked about. So we’re just taking it to the next level and doing yet another podcast on the topic.

Here are eight of the more common Pinterest marketing myths. I’m sure you will find at least a few that are familiar to you.

Pinterest Marketing Myths that You Should NOT Believe

 

Myth #1 – I need to pin other people’s content to be successful on Pinterest.

This is by far one of the most frequent Pinterest marketing myths. 

Its origin takes us back to 2014 when the Pinterest Smart Feed algorithm was born.
