There has been a lot of discussion lately about Pinterest traffic trending downward and what this could mean. Some have talked about algorithm changes, others tech issues with the meta data, and then some are declaring Pinterest dead due to AI slop infiltrating. Along with this are every theory under the sun and what you should do about it. I get it. I stand with you in the frustration, but I want to ask if you’re falling into the trap and what you can do to get out off the hamster wheel and start making some solid decisions. 

If you’re looking to talk through some of these Pinterest marketing issues with someone, then I highly suggest booking a strategy call with our team. I don’t know about you but I like to ask questions when people teach or share what i should do with my marketing. I want to make sure I fully understand the concepts as well as implement. If that’s you then we’re offering $50 off a strategy call to help get you set up and ready for Q4. Use the code SPMPOD to get your $50 at checkout. https://www.simplepinmedia.com/consultation/

Pinterest just released its first-ever Men’s Trend Report, and it’s clear that Gen Z and Millennial men are redefining what it means to engage online. With men now making up more than a third of Pinterest’s global audience, this report highlights how they’re embracing self-expression, creativity, and wellness in refreshing and authentic ways.

To talk through this report, I brought in my fellow Pinterest educator, Corbin White to discuss all things men and Pinterest.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the fundamental differences between Pinterest and Google SEO, exploring why user intent shapes everything from content creation to keyword strategy. You'll discover how Pinterest users are in exploration and planning mode, saving ideas for future inspiration, while Google users seek immediate information and action.

I'll walk you through platform-specific optimization strategies, reveal how their algorithms prioritize different signals, and share a smart cross-platform approach that lets you leverage both for maximum impact. Whether you're a blogger, business owner, or content creator, understanding these differences can dramatically improve your visibility and engagement across both platforms.

By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear roadmap for creating content that captures users at every stage of their journey - from Pinterest's early inspiration phase to Google's decision-making moments.

Before we dive in, Q4 is Pinterest's magic season - searches skyrocket for products, decor, travel, and recipes. It's prime time to get in front of new customers, but don't wait until October to optimize. If you need Pinterest marketing support, book a call with our team at simplepinmedia.com/services  and we'll point you in the right direction.

In this episode, I'm revisiting a question that continues to perplex marketers: Do follower counts actually matter? While most social platforms have us obsessing over follower numbers as the primary metric of success, Pinterest operates differently.

I'll break down 4 revealing examples that might challenge your assumptions about follower counts and show you what metrics truly drive Pinterest success. Whether you're new to Pinterest marketing or looking to refine your strategy, this episode will help you focus on what genuinely impacts your results rather than chasing vanity metrics.

Join me as we explore why your follower count might not be the powerful indicator of success you've been led to believe.

This podcast was created in partnership with Pinterest. I am currently one of six educators in their Pinterest Educator program. They helped me gather information, resources, and tools to help bring you this accurate and update to date teaching on Pinterest collges. 

What are Pinterest collages you might ask? Well, previously I had recorded a podcast on this with a workaround our team had found using Pinterest’s sister app – Shuffles. Business owners were asking us about the relevancy as well as the workflow for linking their products. At the time, this seemed to be the only way. 

Now we can do this in Pinterest…This episode will give you the information you need to decide if the Collages Pin format fits into your own Pinterest strategy; whether you’re ready to try it, or just want to stay informed for the future."

I’m going to be sharing some helpful links in today’s episode so make sure you scroll down to the description to read more after you’re done.

To wrap up our story series I wanted to highlight those who make this company run. The woman who show up every day to manage accounts, manage teams, market the company, test out the theories, and continue to contribute their time and talents to make this agency run.

I thought about how this would be received by you the listener. Would you care? Is it interesting? Are you curious?

My first thought was…eh, not sure.

My second thought was, but this is the story of how this company works, why this podcast exists, why we keep innovating on Pinterest marketing strategy. It’s the “why” and the “how” that most people never see.

Frankly, this idea came to mind while I was falling asleep. I had been searching for someone to interview for our last story series podcast and this idea popped up. I started to recount all the people on my team, their years of experience, their stories, and the way in which they have all stayed here despite the ups and downs of the last 3 years or so.

So yes, I could search around for someone to interview and their story would be amazing but why not tell the stories of the people who work so hard to bring you the best Pinterest marketing service and education?
