Pin Talk - Pinterest Tips and Updates for Creators

Are you pinning in a “bad” Pinterest niche? In this episode, Carly and I talk about how to decide if your selected niche is holding you back and what you can do about it. We’ll go through questions you can ask yourself so you can find out if you need to make a change and implement a new strategy or if you need a fresh start.
We also tackle the complex world of Pinterest’s “account score” and what it means for your engagement. Is it always better to target multiple niches, or should you hone in on a single focus? Carly and I explore both perspectives, sprinkled with humor, like our chat about how my dad uses Pinterest!

We take a closer look at the viability of non-visual niches and the importance of unique, fresh content. Whether you’re considering a pivot or starting fresh with a new account, we’ve got tips to help you decide the best course for your Pinterest strategy.
