The Effectiveness of Pinterest Marketing Strategies

The Effectiveness of 5 Strategies That Bring Me Over Million Viewers In Less Than 12 Months


The effectiveness of the 5 strategies has successfully guided me to consistently build my Pinterest profile for the first 12 months. Here are the 5 strategies.


  • Clear aims of what you want to achieve
  • Find out who is currently influencer of Pinterest user profile
  • Create a connection of emotion with these influencers with a desire to manifest
  • Write down in your own handwriting in a piece of paper or your personal diary
  • List down your action plans step by step to achieve your goals

Clear Aims of  What You Want To Achieve

A vision is a picture or idea you have in your mind of yourself, your business, or anything this is going to happen. A clear vision helps you pursue dreams and achieve goals; an idea of the future, a strong wish. A vision that is clear will open your mind to the endless possibilities of the future.

Vision Bring Success To Your Dreams

Without a clear target, it is no point to put any effort. Thus, you must define the achievement that you desire. Write it down on a piece of paper. 

Therefore I had set a clear target on Pinterest profile align with the 5 strategies for my Pinterest profile. Firstly I started off with a set 3 targets at the beginning of June 2018 with the aim to achieve these 3 targets in 12 months as follows :


  1. To add 100 high-quality pins to my boards ( Total of 36,500 pins )
  2. To achieve 10,000 followers
  3. To achieve 1 million viewers

Yes, it is what I believe that the target is achievable. I just believe it at the beginning.

Define Clear Targets



The result as at end of May 2019 as follows in less than 12 months :

  1. Achieved more than 37,000 pins 
  2. Achieved more than 14,000 followers
  3. Achieved more than 1.5 million viewers

The Action Plans I Took At Beginning of Stage On Mid of June 2018

The purpose of an action plan is to clarify what resources are required to reach the goal, formulate a timeline for when specific tasks need to be completed and determine what resources are required.

Before I start, I assume everyone had already sign-up the Pinterest Business Account because it has all the features that we need to achieve our goals.

Coming back to my initial targets:
  1. To add 100 high-quality pins to my boards ( Total of 36,500 pins )
  2. To achieve 10,000 followers
  3. To achieve 1 million viewers
I shall start with the first target that I need to add 100 pins everyday! It sounds crazy, right? Well, it really tough to consistently do it every day without any excuse. The magic word here is consistency.

Here are the quotes I found. Consistency is one of the major keys to success. It requires profound dedication and hard work to churn out consistent results. Consistency brings smoothness and clarity to the path leading to the goal because only when there is consistency there is no contradiction. Consistency is needed in all aspects of life, right from education, paying off the house rent, losing weight to raising a child. 

Life of Freedom, ahyorkfreedom
Consistent is the key to success

Let's talk about how I add 100 pins every day

Firstly, I start with 10 boards with a different title that is relevant to my niche of Pinterest profile. You can also start with your interest or hobbies. IMy Pinterest profile is all about finding a way to live with total freedom in financially, time and location.

So, I did some research on google search and get a rough meaning of the title of " Life of Freedom ". The search result to my surprise has 880 million search results! It is blowing my head away. Google search also suggested a few keywords similar to my search as follows:

The suggested few keywords of similar search:

Life of Freedom, ahyorkfreedom
Google Search Suggested Keywords of Life of Freedom

I took some time to read the article of search on the first page of the search result in order to know more in details what can be the relevant topic related to "Life" and "Freedom". It is all about my dreams and passion. Hence, the first board I created has been named " My Dreams and Passion ". 

From here, I just write down my dreams and passion on a piece of paper without any delay. You guess what, the ideas behind this is to speak out what is your dreams, ambitious and aims from deep inside your mind and heart naturally. Here is the link to my board for more details.

Then I list down the dreams and passions since childhood as much as possible, it is easily reached 20 overs! I guess this is the faster way to create a Pinterest board with a genuine idea of what you want and likes!  Here are 23 sections I created for only 1 board. Nevertheless, you can just create a board with a topic and start to re-pin only high-quality images from another user.


  1. Dream House
  2. Sport Car
  3. Favorite Car - Volkswagen
  4. Places of Visit or Travel
  5. Home Theatre System
  6. Audio & Hifi System
  7. Computer & Gadget
  8. My Favorites Movies
  9. Natural Gemstones In General
  10. Jewelry Design Collection In General
  11. Jewelry - Jadeite
  12. Motorcycle - Cafe Racer
  13. Motorcycle - Vespa & Scooters
  14. Men's Wear & Fashion
  15. Men's Watches
  16. Lifestyle as Vegetarian
  17. Photography - Private Air Plane
  18. Photography - Drone Camera Aerial View
  19. Photography - Pretty Women & Lady
  20. Photography of High-Quality Images

"My Dreams & Passion" Pinterest Board


Adding Pin To Your Board By Re-pin High-Quality Images from Other User



It’s nice when someone repins your stuff. I am repinning other bloggers stuff because, at the beginning of filling up your boards, you need an idea of what kind of high-quality images vertical pins to select. Not only that, but I do find that they offer me a few repins in return. Sometimes. It’s a community anyway in the world of social media networks that you really need to engage with people which is another user at Pinterest. Furthermore, sharing is caring! Sharing of other people creation means a lot to the creator as you recognized their creation.
Back to my topic, fill up your Pinterest Board by re-pin at the beginning of building your very first few boards.  Now a 2:3 Pin will never appear larger than 564 x 846. Pinterest says 600 x 900 pixels is optimal – or any 2:3 aspect ratio

“Aspect ratio” may sound complicated, but it’s just a way to talk about an image’s width, compared to its height. A 2:3 aspect ratio means that your image’s width is ⅔ its height.

When you pick images for Pinterest, think vertical. Most of our formats are vertical and taller than they are wide. We recommend that you use a 2:3 aspect ratio for all of your Pins.

You can select the right pin in your search at the Pinterest search engine. I tried out with a simple entry of the word "sports car ". The screenshot of the result looks as follows :

Search Result of "Sports Car"

I noticed that another user pop-up on the screen with the Boards of another user. I click on both of them to find high-quality vertical images. Then I tried " Sports Cars " and press [Enter], the result of the search has appeared to have multiple sizes of relevant sports cars pin as follows which I may only select the pin I highlighted with a red box.

Sports Car Vertical Image Pin Selection

The vertical Image pin ends to stand out of the crowd in your boards. It is a trend of the pin collection of many users. One of my favorites pin ( 700 X 1134 pixel ) I save or re-pin as follows:

Life of Freedom from Ahyorkfreedom
High-Quality Vertical Images Pin

With the continuous efforts of re-pin high-quality vertical images pin, my board of "My Dreams & Passion " has a total of over 2,400 pins until today with 100% re-pin only from another user.

It is just a simple explaination of how I grow my pins from day 1 until today that already totals up to over 39,500 pins!

The other reason why I want to re-pin from another user

Do you know what happens when you repin someone’s pin? They, in fact, receive a notification that you have repinned their pin. That puts you on their radar and it might just encourage them to take a peek at your blog. 

They’ll probably take a peek at your Pinterest feed, at least. This is what the user normally want to find out who is interesting repinned their pins. 

Usually, I shall find out the feeds of the people who repin and follow me.

That person who is now aware who you are and they might repin your pins. If they have a larger following and monthly impressions figure than you do, that will only work to your benefit. The more repins you have, the more Pinterest thinks you’re offering high-quality content and will be more likely to show it to new/other people.

Beginning of Journey To Build My Printerest Million Viewers Account

My Beginning Plans to Create My Pinterest Million Viewers Account in Less Than 12 Months


Is it true that you are hoping to develop your blog traffic with Pinterest?

Before we talk about plans, let's decide the strategy that will increase the chances of achieving the goals.


What Are The Strategy?

Let's start with the right mindset. What to do first? I think deeply about this. What are my aims? Why I choose Pinterest? Is it just to be a collector of ideas, images, facts, knowledge or passion? 

Then I found the answer! I would like to achieve a lifestyle of freedom in time, financially and location. Sounds great! It is a dream since a young child to have a life of freedom with the wealth of life from multiple streams of passive income.

In this article, I uncover the secret of Pinterest traffic creation strategies that will refresh your snap thoughts and witness the increase of traffic to your blog or site start from the very first day you create your Pinterest account. 

Here is my screenshot of the Pinterest profiles as of the end of June 2019.


.The Beginning Plans that help me to achieve 2 Million Viewers In Less Than 12 Months


2 Million Viewers Per Month In Less than 12 Months

When I review back what I have put all the efforts for the past 12 months since June of 2018.  I realized the truth that the passion and patient have brought me the result I intend to achieve, which is achieving over 2 million viewers in less than 12 months at the end of May 2019! This is the huge amount of unique viewers that potentially can be converted into real traffic visiting your blog and site! 

What I achieve at the moment I was writing this article is already achieving about an average of 2,317,424 viewers ( 2.3 million + ) per month with 18,271 followers. By the way, I had manually saved every pin to achieve above 37,000 pins without using any automation tools like "tailwind" in less than 365 days, that is average of adding 95 pins every day non stop every day consistently. 

Here is my screenshot of Life of Freedom Profile Performance. 


Pinterest Profile Perofrmance of Life of Freedom ( ahyorkfreedom )
Life of Freedom Pinterest Profile At The Moment of Writing This Post! 


Why Pinterest and how can it work? Here is the statistic:

  • Pinterest has 200 million active users each month
  • 28% of all online US citizens use the platform
  • 67% of Pinterest users are under 40-years-old
  • The best time to Pin is Saturday from 8pm-11pm
  • In 2014, the male audience grew 41% and their average time spent on Pinterest tripled to more than 75 minutes per visitor
  • Pinterest has shown me its advantage as one of the best social media platforms where your contents can last so long
The story behinds are the key element to make it right from the start where I realized in social media marketing, visual contents in the forms of images, photography, chart, drawing, etc will capture the attention of audience or viewers.

Visual Content is the King!

I realized a fact that human tends to remember what they see than reading or hearing! Hence the strategy is to develop my Pinterest profile with saving high-quality pin images from the niche I search at Pinterest search engine. 

Life of Freedom, ahyorkfreedom
Visual Contents is King!


A picture is worth a thousand words







  • The proverbs particularly give advice or shares a universal truth where " A picture is worth a thousand words ". It means a picture may convey an idea more quickly and effectively than the written word. Writers of texts that describe concepts involving imagery or abstract thoughts need many words to get their points across. A photograph, artwork, drawing or graphics can often demonstrate an idea with one look, much more quickly than a narrative can explain things. 
    Life of Freedom ahyorkfreedom
    Visualize is the key element of growing your Pinterest Profile

    Pinterest is currently one of the top social media channels for visual content. Visual content means in the form of images, photo, video clip, long vertical images with a headline, infographics long vertical pin, etc.

    Pinterest is also a social media networks that enable the user to share, and find new interests by posting pictures or video recordings clips to their very own or others' user board and repin any post. You can see what other user has pinned.

    There are about 2 billion individual pieces of content on the Internet, which means it is not easy for the content you produce to truly stand out in the crowd. That’s why visual content is key for your social media marketing success. 

    In fact, people are visual beings and they process visuals 60,000 times faster than plain text, making visual content a lot more popular than textual information. Visual contents are important in social media marketing.

    Look at the pin's images with a little girl smiling face, it is genuine and touching your heart. If you decide to save a collection of images, photos for a board under the name of " Beautiful smile ", " Beautiful Kids ", " Beautiful Children ", " Smile ", etc. You are advised to save high-quality images that able to convey a clear message of attracting audience attention. 


    Life of Freedom, ahyorkfreedom, freedom
    High-Quality Images that attract the attention of viewers
    Human is more sensitive to visual beings. The online user only able to remember 10 to 20% of the information they read or hear about, but once that information is paired with visual elements, the information retained suddenly goes up to 65%. At any given time, the human brain can only process a very limited amount of information. In addition, any information that can be processed faster will take priority in grabbing a person’s attention.
    From the visual or images contents, the writing of headline personal organization is particularly centered around the pin. The purpose is to share your preferences and interests with other people and finding those of likeminded individuals. The group's boards will likely "associate everybody on the community through the 'pins' they find interesting." Users can either re-pin pictures or a post of a pin from their PC, tablet PC or smartphone by utilizing the Pinterest save button.

    I came out with my very first 5 strategies is to get things right from the start. So, I list down action plans to accomplish my goals. It is base on the belief of "High-Performance Mindset ".

    Sharing My Journey On Achieving Over 2 Million Viewers of Traffic On PInterest of My Social Media Account

    Ahyork Life of Freedom  阿约自由人生

    Ahyork” which is my nickname has been used as Title of this website/blog as “Ahyork Life of Freedom”. I would like to share my journey of life after a half-century until today of living on this beautiful planet called – Earth. Well, everybody has his own journey of life with different stories. I am one of them who suddenly realized life is short and no more time to wait to chase the dream I desired since childhood. Hence I made a decision to share the journey of achieving over 2 MILLION ++ monthly viewers in less than 12 months on my Pinterest social media account. 


    Life of Freedom, ahyorkfreedom
    Journey To Freedom Achieving Million Over Viewers

    Ahyork 阿约是我小时家人叫我的名字的小名,所以我就索性用了英文的译名, Ahyork 作为我的网站名字。这一生走来到今天已过了半世纪,回头一看,过往的人生经历好像昨日而已,在生活里头的点点滴滴一却都如过往云烟,喜忧参半,但也是脚踏实地的走过大半人生。人生只是短短几十年而已,如果不知人生的意义,就像短线风筝随风飘流。所有在想把这一路走过来的心路历程分享给大家。这也包括了我如何在一年内达到超过2百万预览人次的社交媒体网络户口。
    Below is the photo of my wife and daughter. (我内人与女儿,2008年)
    Ahyork Family - 2008



    Learning From Google Insider Guru

    A saying of “Don’t wait until 60 if you can now do it at 50”. That’s what I learned since the precious of time left for me that no longer young like others at the age of 20, 30 or 40. In order to achieve the dream of achieving total freedom, I started my journey to build the foundation of multiple income streams online in the world of internet. I decided to learn seriously in all aspect of knowledge and skills to build my passive income starting in March 2018 after I learn from my internet insider guru, Mr. Simon Leong.
    常听人说:你不要等到以后才做某某事情,如果50多岁的现在可以做的,就不要等到60岁才要来完成。为了完成我的梦想,我开始了我的人生事业的另一个旅途,那就是要找到多元化的“被动”收入。( Passive income ) 因此从2018年三月开始,我找到了一位在老师,他在网络的事业已有将近20年的经验,他的引导和指点让我学会了许多关于这方面的知识。
    Passive income, when used as a technical term, is defined as either "net rental income" or "income from a business in which the taxpayer does not materially participate," and in some cases can include self-charged interest. It goes on to say that passive income "does not include salaries, portfolio, or investment income."  Thus I decided to build an internet online asset to create multiple incomes stream.
    Passive income的中文可以翻译为:被动收入、自动收入。这里的passive,意思是被动的,相对于主动的(active)而言。 Income 则是收入的意思。另外,你也可能见到passive income stream 的说法,这里的stream,意思是财务或是收入流。Passive income stream是指 ”源源不断的(稳定的)被动式收入流 ”。

    Why I started this blog 我为什么要写这个部落格


    I started to look back my life for the past 51 years of the life journey that has formed either the good and bad memory of the past’s 18 thousand days +. I nearly can’t believe the number when I calculated it.
    大半人生大约一万八千多个日子有喜有忧,有好,有坏的遭遇,想起来,自己如何在当时可以度过那么多的坎坷。
    I intend to share my personal view of the facts of life and some experience that I encountered that has somehow given me a deep impact in my journey of life. Whether it is a success or failure lessons, it certainly already a history. Along with that, I would also share my point of view of reading some great books in the field of life journey, facts of life, the motivation of life for success and inspiration stories that touch you and me. This is including how I start my journey to build my passive income at an online internet business. 

    我打算分享我个人对现实生活的看法,以及我所遇到的一些人生经历。这些经历在某种程度上给了我对自己的生命之旅留下了深刻的影响。一路走来,无论是成功还是失败的教训,它肯定已经成为历史。除此之外,我还要分享我在人生的旅途上所遇到的一些事实,因为遇上了才懂如何去面对。我也会分享一些成功的生活的例子这将会触动你和我的心灵。顺便也会介绍一些心灵故事的好书籍,以及阅读后一些好书的感想。这包括我如何开始在互联网业务中建立被动收入的过程。
