Leveraging Traffic with Pinterest SEO

First things first, to grow that email list you’re going to need one essential ingredient: traffic. But not just any traffic, we want quality, engaged users flocking to your website. And how do we do that? One word: Pinterest.

Now, before you start thinking of Pinterest as just another social media platform to manage, let me stop you right there. Pinterest is a powerhouse for SEO. That means, instead of the daily grind of social media posting and interaction, you focus on creating pins with longevity—pins that work for you around the clock.

The strategy is simple: automate your pin setup. Fill a queue with your carefully crafted pins and schedule them to post automatically. This is how your content starts to work its magic in the Pinterest algorithm. As your pins gain traction, they perform better, and voila! You’ve earned yourself a prime spot in organic searches on Pinterest. And the best part? This traffic is directed right to your site, with minimal ongoing effort from you.

The Power of a High-Converting Lead Magnet

Now that we’ve got a stream of visitors pouring in, it’s time to capture their attention with a lead magnet. But not just any lead magnet—a high-converting one. This is your golden ticket to turning casual browsers into devoted subscribers.

While there are many types of lead magnets you could use, I’m a huge advocate for quizzes. Why? Because quizzes have consistently proven to convert higher than your average lead magnets. They’re engaging, interactive, and if done right, incredibly effective at qualifying your leads.

Imagine a quiz that’s so closely aligned with what you offer that it feels like a natural extension of your brand. That’s the kind of quiz that not only captures email addresses but also provides you with valuable insights into your audience’s needs and preferences. It’s a win-win: your subscribers get personalized value, and you get a list of engaged and interested leads.

Setting the Automation in Motion

So, how do we set this automated list-building machine into motion? It starts with setting up those pins. Keep in mind that initially, you’ll need to invest some time into creating and scheduling your pins. It’s not entirely hands-off from the get-go, but the upfront work pays dividends.

If you’re looking for even more automation, consider investing in paid ads on Pinterest. This can further boost your visibility and drive additional traffic to your website without the need for constant pin management.

Once your Pinterest strategy is in place, it’s time to connect the dots. Direct that incoming traffic to your website, specifically to your quiz. From there, let the quiz do its magic, automatically collecting those shiny new email leads. These aren’t just any leads; these are engaged, interested individuals who are more likely to become loyal fans and customers.

Remember, the pins you’ve put out there will continue to generate traffic for weeks, months, or even years down the line. It’s a system designed for longevity, one that gets closer to ‘set it and forget it’ than most strategies out there.

Do you truly want this to be completely automated? Hire me as your Pinterest manager so you don’t have to do anything with Pinterest yourself! I can also build you a high-converting quiz so you don’t have to figure that out either.

So there you have it, folks. Automating your email list growth is not just a pipe dream; it’s a very achievable reality. With the right tools and tactics, you can wake up to a growing list of engaged subscribers, eager to hear from you. Now, go forth and automate!
