The Difference Between Traffic, Attention, and Sales (And Why Confusing Them Is Costing You Money)
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things posting consistently, showing up on social media, getting likes and views but still not seeing the sales or growth you want… this episode is for you.
Today, I’m breaking down something I see business owners mix up all the time: attention, traffic, and sales. They are notthe same thing and when we treat them like they are, marketing starts to feel exhausting and ineffective.
In this episode, I’m walking you through how each one actually works, why attention alone won’t grow your business, and how platforms like Pinterest fit into a smarter, more sustainable strategy.
In this episode, I cover:
What “attention” really is:
Likes, views, comments, shares, and story replies
Why attention feels validating but doesn’t always lead to action
The limitations of attention-based platforms
What traffic actually means:
Clicks to your website, blog, podcast, or offers
Why traffic shows intent, not just interest
The difference between social traffic and search-based traffic
Why traffic doesn’t automatically equal sales:
The role of funnels, freebies, and nurture sequences
Why clarity matters more than volume
Where most business owners lose people after the click
Where Pinterest fits into all of this:
Why Pinterest is a search engine, not social media
How Pinterest traffic is cold but intentional
Why evergreen content creates long-term opportunities
The biggest takeaway:
Attention builds awareness.
Traffic creates opportunity.
Sales come from clarity and connection.
If you’ve been chasing engagement but still feeling stuck, this episode will help you rethink your strategy and focus on what actually moves the needle.
