How do I sell digital products on Pinterest?
Updated
Pinterest is search, not social
Pinterest behaves like a search engine, so people arrive looking for something specific and click through to buy. Make several tall, text-labelled pins per product, write titles using the words a buyer would search, and link each one straight to the same product page.
A single pin can keep sending traffic for months after you post it.
Set the pin up properly
Use a tall image, put readable text on it, and link straight to the product page. Write the title and description with the words a buyer would search.
Vague, pretty pins get saved and never clicked. Specific pins get clicked.
Make several pins per product
One product, five or six different images, posted over time. You do not know which image will catch, and repeating the same one does nothing.
Keep them all pointing at the same product page.
Be patient
Pinterest is slow. Pins often take weeks to start moving and then keep going for a long time.
Judge it after three months, not three days.
