Step 1: Create a Pinterest pin that goes viral

There are certain things that both Pinterest and its users prefer, and that lead to more saves and clicks. To create a Pinterest pin that goes viral, you need to create visually appealing, branded, and click-enticing pins. Vertical images do better than horizontal ones, and do even better if they are longer than the predefined size of 735px by 1102px, since they occupy more space on the screen.

Images that have big text overlay that is easy to read also do better, especially if the background is in a warm color, such as pink, orange or red. A great thing to pin is infographics, or sample content, since those are deemed to be more value-adding than just a blog post title. If you want to learn how to create powerful infographics with ease, make sure to watch my video on how to create graphics with Visme.

To create stunning Pinterest pins, you can also use a free and wonderful online tool called Canva. If you’d like to learn how to create Pinterest pins that go viral with Canva, make sure to watch my video that’s aptly named, ‘how to make Pinterest pins that go viral’.

Step 2: Optimize your description

There are 3 parts to optimizing your Pinterest pin description: 1. Writing a description that stimulates clicks, 2. Adding specific keywords to your description, and 3. Adding 2-4 hashtags per description.

To write a description that stimulates clicks, you should start your description with a question, then answer that question by mentioning how your content will solve that, and end with a specific call to action to click through to your content.

To add keywords to your description, you need to ensure that they are specific terms your target audience is searching for, as it relates to the content of the pin you’re adding to Pinterest. A great tool to use to find the right keywords is the Pin Keyword Finder, which is a free Google Chrome extension. With the pin keyword finder, you just search for a particular keyword, and the tool gives you other words and terms that relate to that. You should add those words and terms to your description.

Lastly, you should add 2-4 hashtags to your description. These hashtags should be the first keywords that appear in the Pin Keyword Finder.

And here’s a bonus tip: although Pinterest allows you to add up to 500 characters in your description, descriptions with 200-300 characters typically get more clicks.

Step 3: Use manual pinning

Pinterest loves it when new pins are added to the platform, so instead of waiting around for your audience to pin your content, be proactive and pin it yourself first! For every piece of content that you create, be it a blog post, lead magnet, or video tutorial, create 3-5 Pinterest graphics.

You don’t need to add them all of them to your blog, okay? I usually just have one pinnable image per blog post, but create multiple Pinterest graphics, and save them to my computer so I have them on file. Play around with different colors, titles, or even create an infographic or list version of your post that you can pin.

Now get out a calendar and map out when you’re going to pin each one, so that you’re manually pinning 1-3 times per day. Make sure that you pin that same image to all of your own boards, as well as to all Pinterest group boards that you’re a part of and that are applicable to the subject of that particular pin.

Step 4: Pin all day, everyday

In general, pins that are added to Pinterest between 2 and 4pm, in addition to between 8pm and 1am, get the highest repins. However, the absolute best time to pin is whenever your target audience is active on Pinterest.

With manual pinning you’re adding all of your pins to the platform at once, so you need to use a social media scheduling tool to steadily repin that content throughout the day to further boost your results. This is how you’ll be able to pin all day, everyday, without going crazy.

My absolute favorite social media scheduling tool is Viraltag. Viraltag is the most affordable social media scheduling tool that I’ve found that also offers features comparable to a more robust platform like MeetEdgar.

Two of of my favorite Viraltag features are:

1. That you can determine your own posting schedule, as well as let Viraltag do the work for you and tell you recommended times that your audience is active on Pinterest.

2. The fact that Viraltag includes unlimited posts, and allows you to recycle those posts on an evergreen cycle, which means that your social media feed will never run out of content. This saves time and increases your traffic by up to 200%!

I partnered with Viraltag, and the best part is that they're not only offering you a 14-day FREE trial of Viraltag, so you can test out the tool and all of its features before you make an investment (which, in my opinion, is well worth it), but also $15 OFF if you sign up to Viraltag using my unique link.

And that’s it! Now you know how to rank #1 on Pinterest in 4 easy steps.
