How I Hit 950K+ Monthly Views on Pinterest in Less Than 6 Months
Pinterest is a powerhouse for driving traffic, and I proved it by skyrocketing my monthly views to over 950K in under six months. How? No secret hacks—just strategy, consistency, and high-quality content. If you’re trying to grow your Pinterest, here’s exactly what I did.
1. Creating High-Quality Content with Canva
Pinterest is a visual platform, so your pins need to be eye-catching. I used Canva to design every single one of my pins, making sure they were clean, engaging, and on-brand. Here’s what worked best:
Vertical pins (1000x1500px) – Pinterest prioritizes this size.
Bold, readable text – Make your headlines pop.
Aesthetic and relevant images – I used free stock images from sites like Unsplash and Pexels to keep my content professional and cohesive.
Branded templates – I created a few templates in Canva and tweaked them for different posts to maintain a recognizable style.
2. Posting 10-15 Pins Daily (Yes, Every Day!)
If you’re just starting, you need to post frequently. I made sure to publish 10-15 high-quality pins per day to flood Pinterest with my content.
Here’s why this works:
Pinterest rewards active users, so more fresh content = more visibility.
You give your audience multiple chances to engage with your content.
If one pin flops, another might take off!
After consistently posting for months, my engagement increased, and I was able to slow down without losing momentum. Now, I don’t need to post as much, but in the beginning, volume was crucial.
3. Scheduling Content with Pinterest’s Scheduler Tool
Manually pinning 10-15 times a day sounds exhausting, right? That’s why I used Pinterest’s native scheduler to batch and automate my content.
I dedicated a day to creating a week’s worth of pins.
Scheduled them in advance to keep a steady stream of fresh content.
This freed up time for me to engage with my audience and focus on other parts of my business.
4. Checking Pinterest Trends
Pinterest has its own Trends Tool, which I used religiously to see what was performing well in my niche. I made sure to:
Create content around trending topics before they peaked.
Use keywords that were getting high searches.
Repurpose older content with slight tweaks to align with current trends.
This helped my pins stay relevant and searchable for longer periods.
5. Being Consistent (Even When It Felt Like Nothing Was Happening)
Pinterest isn’t instant. Some of my best-performing pins took weeks to gain traction. If I had given up early, I would’ve never seen the growth I did.
Key takeaway: Keep posting, even when it seems like no one is engaging. The algorithm takes time to pick up your content, but once it does, your reach can explode.
6. Sticking to a Niche (Because Random Pins Confuse Your Audience)
Your audience needs to know what to expect from you. If you pin about fashion one day, home decor the next, and finance the day after, you’ll lose people.
I focused on a specific niche (digital marketing, content creation, and online business growth) and made sure every pin aligned with that topic. This built a loyal audience that kept coming back for more.
Success on Pinterest comes from strategy, consistency, and understanding how the platform works. By focusing on high-quality content, maintaining consistency, using Pinterest’s tools effectively, and exercising patience, you can see significant growth. It may take some time, but if you stay the course, your efforts will be rewarded. Start now, and watch your Pinterest presence flourish!
