Today I am going to be sharing with you how I was able to grow my blog views by 80% in ONE month, and how you can too!
Blogging has quickly become my favorite past time ever since I started earlier this year. It’s a lot of hard work and takes time and effort to see it grow, but it has been bringing me a lot of joy!
When I first started blogging, I got a few views here and there, but nothing even remotely significant. Mind you, I had done approximately zero research about blogging, so my skills were pretty much nonexistent.

Then, I joined Twitter and met some of the nicest people ever (seriously, blogging community- you’re the real MVPs) and with their help, I was able to get some more views.
If you didn’t know, there are almost daily threads on Twitter where bloggers can all comment on one another’s posts which meant that I was able to get more views and more comments to my blog posts.
Awesome! But still, nothing revolutionary.
It wasn’t until I heard about utilizing Pinterest as a blogger that I decided to make an account. I already had one for personal use, you know, for pinning recipes I’d never try out, but I had to make a new one for my blog.
So I did. And I created boards and pins and more boards and pins. And nothing really happened.
Looking back on the pins I used to create, it’s no surprise why nobody was clicking on them. They were dismal, lol!
Before throwing in the towel, I stumbled upon Ell Duclos’ blog, where she writes about how amazing Pinterest has been for growing her own blog. And it’s a good thing I did!
After reading her blog (almost every single post she’d ever written, to be exact) and more and more blog posts from various bloggers about what to do and what NOT to do on Pinterest if you want your blog to grow, I decided to take all of their advice and implement it.
Here’s what I did:
- I used niche keywords in my name and bio
- I branded my boards and created loads of them
- I learned how to find high-performing keywords related to my niche
- I started creating attractive pins
- I learned how to word my pin titles to make people click on them
- I utilized the heck out of Tailwind (click here for a free month of Tailwind use)
- I learned a trick that allows me to pin hundreds of pins in a matter of minutes
- I learned how to use Tribes correctly to get results
If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand Pinterest, I was once in your shoes. Very recently, in fact.
However, Pinterest really is all that and a bag of chips when it comes to self-promoting the crap out of your blog, and it is well worth getting familiar with.
If you’d like to learn the exact steps I took to take my Pinterest from 4K monthly viewers to, as of today, 110K in a matter of 2 months, you’re going to love my Pinterest Perfect ebook.
Pinterest Perfect is a 54-page Pinterest manual for bloggers and content creators.
In Pinterest Perfect, you will learn everything you need in order to generate blog views on auto-pilot. All you need to do is set up your profile accordingly, and then follow the instructions when creating new pins.
But don’t take my word for it.

Yessss, I love Pinterest! Since doing a similar thing to you I’ve also managed to increase my views – up to 25k monthly views per month on the platform now and it keeps rising! I can’t wait to finally be able to purchase Tailwind too, as I’m looking forward to being able to schedule my pins and also join tribes.
That’s awesome! Tribes are absolutely amazing, and I wish I found out about them sooner!
Thank you. I’m new to blogging and using pinterest so any tips and advice I can use are very welcome 👍
My pleasure!
Very helpful post. Just seen there are a few things I’ve been missing out on my Pinterest account. Thank you!
My pleasure!
This is really helpful information! Thank you so much for sharing as I need help on Pinterest for sure –and I’ll be passing your article around!
Thank you! I hope you found it helpful. 🙂
I LOVE Ell. I read almost all of her blog posts too lol, she was a big inspiration for my blog!
She’s so knowledgeable, isn’t she?!
She is! I talk to her all the time on Twitter. When she followed me, I died hah
Haha love it😂
I love Pinterest. I’m yet to really utilize it for my blog – I get a couple of hundred views a month from it – but it’s such a great app! I always get so much motivation and inspiration from it! x
I bet you’d get a load of views from it since you blog about very interesting topics!
I have pintrest but never get a lot of views from it! i’m defiantly gonna try harder!!
Honestly it’s not about working harder, it’s about knowing the best strategies for Pinterest that really help!
Thank you! I’m still a newbie, and had no idea Pinterest could be used in this way. I’m definitely spending more time on your blog.
I hope you find it helpful! If you have any questions, do reach out. 😊
Hi! This is a great post. Is Tailwind worth it? I am looking for something like that. I want to start utilizing Pinterest more. But I have no clue where to start!
It really is worth it! Without Tailwind, I would only be posting a handful of pins every day. If you have loads of time to kill manually pinning your pins, then don’t get it. But if you have responsibilities and can’t be glued to your phone all the time, then it’s definitely worth trying out. Try out their free trial for a month and see if you like it!
Wow! Your journey is totally inspiring and amazing. Thank you for sharing this.
After reading this post, I’m gonna focus more of your tips while I use Pinterest ❤️
Thanks,
Accidental Blogger

Great advise! Pinterest and tailwind has helped boost my blog so much in the last few months too!
They’re complete life-savers!
Twitter is my absolute favourite community for bloggers – everyone’s so lovely! This post is so helpful for someone like me, I’ve been trying to use Pinterest but I have no idea what I’m doing.. Will definitely be using your tips x

Congrats on your ebook! Pinterest is definitely something I want to eventually figure out and start to utilize more often! It’s exciting to hear that it can really help with traffic! Additionally, I agree that blog groups are the best! I am so thankful for that resource!
Thank you! Yes, Pinterest is amazing for blog traffic, and it sucks that it took me so long to get on it! I’d definitely have started on it from the get-go if I had the chance to do it all over.
I love that you say that you didn’t do anything revolutionary — I always find that it’s the little things that help boost traffic!
I find that a good strategy goes a long way in the blogging world!

It definitely takes practice and some pins end up doing better than others. Keep at it and I’m sure you’ll see results! 😊
Pinterest is high on my list of platforms to learn to drive some traffic. That’s coming up this fall (after mastering YouTube first). Congrats on the new book!
Good luck with YouTube! Probably a smart idea tackling them one at a time. And thank you!
Seriously cannot wait to read your ebook! I’ve been trying to work on Pinterest for a while and from the reviews, I know it will be an amazing help.

Girl I agree with everything you’re saying. Pinterest saves LIVES. I’m still struggling with pin creations cause I suck at graphics and things but everything else I practiced after taking elleduclos e-course and it changed ALL of my life when it came to my blog yesss
Yesss, Ell is QUEEN of Pinterest! She has so many good tips.
This is so helpful. I really need to just dive into Pinterest and start using it more.
Pinterest really does help a whole lot! I wish I started it earlier haha.
Pinterest is easily the biggest driver of traffic to my website, responsible for 60% of the traffic that I see! I highly recommend that all bloggers take the time to establish themselves on Pinterest and create catchy pins
Absolutely! It’s super important.
Great tips! Good keywording and Pinterest make all the difference, don’t they?
They really do!!

I love Pinterest but I’ve definitely been neglecting it lately. At one point I had about 250k monthly views, but now I’m down to 5k haha! I’ll definitely have to go back and give it more attention as it’s quite a good way to get page views!

Will have to utilise my Pinterest to the max, thankyou for these tips.
I have always had a love hate relationship with Pinterest. I want to get back to Pinterest as I know how powerful it can be for bloggers, this time I will bookmark and use this post for future reference.
I hope you decide to start tackling it soon, it really is a game-changer!
This is so helpful. I just started my blog and I’ve been hearing so much about Pinterest!
Great encouragement to use Pinterest! Your ebook looks very appealing. I might just have to invest in it. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure! Pinterest is soooo worth learning all about!
I was also so confused by Pinterest when I first started. These are great tips for anyone on the struggle train!
I’ll have to set aside some time to learn more about Pinterest. I have an account but I need to energize it a bit. Thanks for the tips!
Definitely do that! It helps me out SO much.
I’ve been working on making attractive pins and Canva has the BEST templates. I highly recommend if you’re new to Pinterest!

That’s a great tip for anyone who’s new to Pinterest!
That’s great that you’ve had so much success with Pinterest! I am working on it, but not where I’d like to be yet!
It definitely takes time but is so worth all the work!
Such a great feat! I took ell’s course too and loved it! Glad we both found big success! And I totally agree about the blogging community on twitter 🙂
This is excellent info many many thanks! I am definitely not using Pinterest enough nor to my advantage. Also I’ve been meaning to look in to Tailwind – so now is the time to do it with the free trial. THANKS
You will seriously love what Tailwind helps you achieve with Pinterest!
Great tips here! I have used Pinterest pretty much since I started my blog but just constantly keep learning more and getting better at it! Agree that it’s such a powerful tool to grow your blog!
I was so hesitant to start working on it but it’s been the best thing I have done to boost my blog traffic!
Her e-book is extremely helpful & she’s totally right about the amount of traffic that Pinterest can drive to a blog.
Much love, Amanda (:
