It’s a great step-by-step tutorial full of wonderful images of each part of the process to make a platform bed like in the picture.

This pin also fits into the DIY pallet wood ideas and rustic decor inspiration as well.

Interesting to Note:

The blog post tutorial was written/published in 2014.

August of 2014 to be exact.

So here we are, over 2 and half YEARS later and that pin is undoubtedly sending MASSIVE traffic to their site.

That’s the beauty of Pinterest done right, don’t you agree?

I pinned this pin here.

Home Reading Nook/Window Seats

With a total aggregate repin count of over 411k, it is currently being repinned by Pinterest users by the minute (maybe even faster)

That ONE pin has a repin count of 15,796 repins as a type this and shows no signs of slowing down.

The post the pin links to is a post of pictures of the interior of a small family home from HomeBunch.com.

It’s a gorgeous house and the post has some serious “eye-candy” for home decor/remodeling buffs.

I’m not sure exactly when that post was published, but the comments on the post start back in January of 2014.

Man, Pinterest is AWESOME when it comes to sending traffic for a LONG TIME, isn’t it?

I pinned the window reading nook here.

With a total aggregate repin count of over 313k, that one pin alone has 86,798 repins as I write this with no signs of slowing down.

The post the pin links to on HomeTalk.com is just a “round up post”/slideshow thing – but it’s really bringing in the traffic for them.

Again, not 100% sure when that post was published, but the blog post comments start in March of 2014.

Another awesome example of the power of Pinterest traffic.

The blog post the pin links to is another “Round Up” style blog post published around 2 years ago with the original pin image coming from this 2014 blog post on this site.

Framing Compositions/Picture Frame Grouping

People really love ideas that help them hang their family picture over their mantle or down their stairs… of even just ideas and help for hanging groups of pictures on their wall so it looks good and balanced.

Personally, I struggle with this, so this pin is super helpful for me.

This one pin has had a total aggregate count of over 468k repins with that ONE pin having 57,652 repins on its own as I type this.

Whoa, right!?

Here’s what’s really interesting about this pin:

All you fellow Pinterest marketers, you might want to sit down and prepare yourself for what I’m about to say next…

That pin… it links to NOTHING.

It is just an image uploaded to Pinterest.

(yes, I knowwwwww…. how sad!)

Turns out a Pinterest user collected multiple idea from a photographers website and put them all into that one collage image and pinned it.

AND, that photographers website is no longer online.

Sad, sad, so very sad….

I pinned the picture frame hanging ideas here.

DIY Mason Jar Decor

If you need blog post ideas that WILL be popular on Pinterest and WILL get repinned like crazy – mason jar ANYTHING tends to do very, very well on Pinterest. Pinterest users sure love them some mason jars!

Turquoise Home Decor

Turquoise home decor and ideas for decorate a room with the color turquoise are VERY popular on Pinterest right now.  Blog post ideas from @potpiegirlThe color turquoise is always pretty popular on Pinterest. The color seems to fit many home color schemes from elegant to beach decor for the home.

This pin of a gorgeous white foyer with a turquoise door and matching turquoise patterned rug is super popular on Pinterest right now.

That pin has had a total aggregate count of over 689k repins with that ONE pin having 52,605 repins on its own as I type this.

The post the pin links to is on HouseOfTurquoise.com and appears to be a round-up post of images of the decor of a (stunning!) home found on Facebook (from best I can tell) and was published in November of 2014.

I pinned the turquoise foyer picture here.

Isn’t it interesting how a COLOR or a color-scheme can be an awesome “niche” idea?

And yep, it works =)

Find a fantastic Pinterest niche idea (like this idea) – get some pre-written articles (like these pre-written blog posts) – add in your images… and you will do AH-MAZING on Pinterest.

Well, IF you have an effective Pinterest strategy, of course (this is how I do Pinterest…and it works SO well!)

I have other blogs than my PotPieGirl.com blog =)

Here are some Pinterest stats from one of my niche blogs:

What does that graph mean?

That graph shows that over a rolling 30-day period of time, my pins have been seen/engaged with by over 7 MILLION other Pinterest users.

That’s some GOOD stuff right there =)

Q&A

Q – How Do You Know the EXACT repin count of ONE pin – when it’s not YOUR pin?

That’s an excellent question! (and one that no one really answers, do they?)

Most Pinterest marketers know that tools, like Tailwind, will give you repin counts of your individual pins…. but when it comes to finding exact repin counts for a pin that is NOT yours, well… that’s a little trick I figured out.

Please accept my apologies, but –

I only share that technique in my Advanced Pinterest Tips and Tricks.

Q – All Those Pins/Posts Seem To Be OLD – Does It Take THAT Long To Get Traffic From Pinterest?

Oh my goodness, NO! It does NOT take that long to get good traffic from Pinterest!

Read this post about how I TRIPLED my traffic in only 30 DAYS.

How long does it take for a Pinterest pin to go VIRAL?  And how to MAKE your pins go viral on Pinterest from @potpiegirlThose just happen to be super popular home decor pins that I’ve come across today on Pinterest.

With the way I do Pinterest, I can see traffic from a new pin almost instantly – and the traffic and repins just grow and grow.

Pinterest is truly one of the very few FREE traffic sources that keeps on giving – and growing.

The lifespan of a pin on Pinterest is endless.

And, if you blog about more “evergreen” topics (like food, decor, DIY, beauty, fashion, parenting, fitness, etc), just like the mini-skirt, pins tend to come back in style and get popular over and over again.

You can have a pin go “viral” on Pinterest pretty quickly (if you do it right). Some of my viral pins took less than a week to pick up massive traction and get to “viral” status (and send a TON of traffic to my site).

It’s pretty amazing!

This husband/wife blogging team had a Viral Pin that sent 990,000+ page views to their blog in a single MONTH (yes, ONE pin, almost one MILLION page views to just ONE of their blog posts!!!!

And as a beautiful side-effect of their viral pins, they get 300-500 NEW Pinterest followers a DAY!

The really cool thing is – their way of doing Pinterest and getting those kinds of results only takes them about 30 minutes a DAY.

They share a lot of information about their 30 Minutes a Day Pinterest strategy here.

To me totally transparent, my way of doing Pinterest takes me a bit longer than that each day (I also might be accused of “micro-managing” my Pinterest accounts…lol!)

One way to really help increase your page views is to use this one super easy way to get more blog page views. When combined with Pinterest, things will come together and work for you very quickly.
