A day does not go by without reading an article or seeing a video about a blogger who used Pinterest marketing to achieve blogging success.
There are still many bloggers who feel stuck because they have been using Pinterest for a while without seeing significant results.
While others know that they need to be using Pinterest as part of the marketing plan for their blog but they just don't know how to get started.
I distinctly remember some time ago I was doing a review on a number of Pinterest courses that I invested in and someone was not even aware that there was such a thing as a structured Pinterest marketing course.
You see many continue to struggle with blog traffic simply because they are not really sure of the benefits of Pinterest for their blog.
Another reason is that they feel lost in a sea of so much information that they suffer from analysis paralysis.
In this post, I am going to spend some time giving you the experience from another blogger's perspective.
I had a hilarious podcast interview with Chhavi who would tell you what worked for her and how you too can get blog traffic from Pinterest.

Who is Chhavi?
My name is Chhavi Agarwal, I was working as a licensed attorney but I was drawn to working from home for various reasons.
I think if I had to name those reasons the top two would be lack of time to spend with my family and travel.
A stress free life is what I wanted so I started working as a freelance writer. There were other work from home options like proofreading and editing but I wasn't interested in those.
So, I stuck to freelance writing and I was able to quit my 9 to 5 job because of it.
After a while, my husband, Amit, inspired me to start a blog and help out other women and people who wanted to escape their 9 to 5 jobs and start working from home.
We launched Mrs Daaku Studio as a result. It is a blog where we talk about our experiences and give information about how you can start a work from home career and replace your 9 to 5 income.
Why do you do what you do?
When I was working as an attorney I had crazy hours. I use to go to work at 9 am and return home at midnight. Sometimes I would come back home at 1 am or 2 am.
This was not a one-off occurrence this happened 3 days a week regularly and sometimes 4 or 5 days a week.
So, I had no time for friends or family. I was dating my husband then so I had no time for him either.
At one point, my brother was getting married and I got home only one day before the actual wedding.
It was very stressful and I had no time to exercise or do any kind of physical things. I use to sleep on the weekends. I love my job but it was a horrible life.
When I decided to look for work from home options I landed on freelance writing.
Law School
While at law school I loved writing and I wrote so many articles in my 5 years at law college.
I knew that this was something I can make work for me. Writing is something I want to learn. I like writing and I love researching.
