How to Get Insane Pinterest Traffic Without Ads [ A Tailwind Review ]
melaniedj • 20 October 2019
Yes, you can get insane Pinterest traffic to your blog, business site, etsy shop, etc. without using any ads , and I want to share how I got insane Pinterest traffic from Tailwind!
When I first started blogging, I thought the only way to get traffic to my blog was by spending a ton of money on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram ads.
Thankfully, before I went ahead and started throwing $100 bills out the window, I did some research.
I decided to do a free trial of a service called Tailwind that all big name bloggers raved about, and to be honest I didn't expect much.
I'm happy to report that now 75% of my blog traffic comes from Pinterest, and I went from hundreds of monthly pageviews to tens of thousands.
My blogging journey has been a lot of trial and error, but Tailwind is one service I can confidently say you need as a blogger, and unlike other tools, it won't break the bank!
HOW TO GET INSANE PINTEREST TRAFFIC WITH TAILWIND
Below is a screenshot of my blog traffic stats after just TWO MONTHS of using Tailwind:
I started using the free trial in September 2018 (100 pins for free), and bought a full year (with unlimited pins) the following month.
As you can tell from the screenshot of my pageviews during this time period above, my growth was exponential!
WHY TAILWIND?
Tailwind is the best. Without it, I'd be lost. I'm not kidding. My blog really didn't take off until I started using Tailwind, and here's why!
- Schedule an unlimited number of Pinterest pins every month with the annual plan.
- The smart scheduling feature creates a pinning schedule for you reflecting your highest engagement times , based on analytical data collected from your followers by Tailwind!
- Industry leading analytics. The analytics do all the hard work for you, so you can put your best pins forward and learn more about your unique audience.
- Schedule pins on the go using the mobile or tablet app.
- Affordable. You can get started for just $10/month , which is a small price to pay for the traffic you'll be getting to your site.
- Sync your Instagram account with Tailwind. Use Tailwind for both Pinterest and Instagram growth!
- Create and schedule VIDEO pins with Tailwind. Whaaaa?? Yes, you read that right!
ANALYTICS
Tailwind does the hard work for you, with analytics that go above and beyond what Pinterest itself can offer you.
As a result, you cant spend more time working on what matters- content and sales!
Some of my favorite analytics offered by Tailwind include:
- Track followers and engagement trends for repins and comments at the profile, board and individual pin level.
- Sync with Google Analytics to track Pinterest traffic and reporting.
- Analyze what pins are going viral and easily reschedule to be pinned.
- Analytics for top performing pins from your site (organic traffic).
These features only scratch the surface of the analytics available to you.
I use the analytics to re-pin my top performing pins over and over again, leave group boards that are not performing well, and increase my organic traffic.
SMART SCHEDULING
Tailwind offers a smart schedule feature , which recommends times for you to pin based on your follower engagement.
You can pin as much or as little as you'd like, it will keep refreshing suggested pin times based on your followers engagement over time!
BULK PIN SCHEDULING
By far my favorite feature is the browser add on tool that allows you to upload and/or select multiple pins and bulk schedule them.
With the browser add on, you can select and schedule multiple pins at once from ANY webpage, including the Pinterest dashboard.
This is a LIFE. SAVER. I don't know about you, but I'm a busy mom who doesn't have all day to spend perfecting my Pinterest pinning schedule.
I hardly have time to shower, so the $10 a month it costs to have Tailwind is a no brainer.
SIMPLIFYING PINNING
A simple drag and drop feature allows you to edit and organize your pin schedule to your liking.
The shuffle feature allows you to shuffle your pins to spare your followers from repetitive content.
Tailwind will also automatically tell you if you've already pinned something to a Pinterest board, making your profile less spammy and less likely to be flagged for spam.
The interval setting allows you to schedule one pin to multiple boards at an interval.
INTERESTED? THROUGH MY LINK GET ONE MONTH FREE!
In the world of website traffic, Pinterest is the name of the game.
Being the frugal fanatic that I am, I tried many different things to increase traffic to my site without spending a dime.
As a result, I wasted a lot of time and didn't make any progress.
Trust me, I want to spare you the agony of pouring in thousands of hours to your blog and feeling like your spinning in circles.
After ONE month of Tailwind I saw incredible results, and I never looked back.
I'd encourage you to give it a try, with the one month free trial you have nothing to lose!
