How to Start Using Pinterest for your Coaching Business

April 04, 2022

Iโ€™ve worked with a lot of coaches and I can tell, what theyโ€™re doing is amaaaaaazing! But what happens when your content can't reach your audience? Pinterest is a smart way to grow your coaching business while helping others change their lives and their businesses.  

In this post, I want to show you how to use Pinterest to grow your business through Pinterest marketing strategies so your ideal clients can find you.

Pinterest is more than just a place for pretty pictures, recipes, and room inspirations. Contrary to what others are saying, Pinterest is not a social media platform, itโ€™s a visual search engine - where people type in keywords and relevant searches will show up. 

Pinterest is an amazing tool and can really help you grow your business, provided it's used correctly. But with the right Pinterest marketing strategy, itโ€™s totally possible for you to use Pinterest for business to attract leads & clients into your coaching business.

Hereโ€™s how you can start:

1 Use SEO For Pinterest Marketing

As I have said, Pinterest is a visual search engine, thatโ€™s why just like any other search engine, SEO has a crucial role to play if you want your content to be searchable.

SEO stands for search engine optimization, itโ€™s a long-term marketing strategy method to drive traffic to your website. In order to rank in the search engines and search results, you need to use targeted keywords on your website copy and content and thatโ€™s how Pinterest works.

With that in mind, make sure you use keywords in your:

โœจ Pinterest profile

โœจ Pin titles

โœจ All pin descriptions

โœจ Pin designs

You can find keywords by using the Pinterest search bar and typing keywords and phrases relevant to your niche. You can also use the Google search tool to find keywords that are relevant to your niche.

2 Optimize your Pinterest Profile

Now that you have found the keywords that your target audience searches for, it's time to optimize your Pinterest profile using those keywords. Optimizing your Pinterest profile is extremely necessary since users can search by โ€œpeopleโ€ and you want your profile and content to rank near the top of the best results.

What do you need to do to optimize your Pinterest Profile?

  1. Change your personal account to a business account.

2 Connect your website to Pinterest so that you can track your data.

3 Use keywords on your profile

3 Create valuable content for your community

Another thing you consider when using Pinterest for your coaching business is your content! Of course, you need to have something to give to your audience, and that is your content. As a coaching business, your funnel usually begins with content that leads into a marketing funnel so that they can convert leads into paying clients, which is what we want, am I right?

But how?

Create content that helps your ideal clients solve their problems. Let's say youโ€™re a business coach for service providers and you help them turn their 5k into 10k per month. You have a lot of amazing resources like your blogs, Youtube videos, masterclass, freebies, and a lot more, you can amplify and increase your reach by using Pinterest.

As part of your Pinterest market strategy, you should ensure that your content is something that your target audience will be inspired by when they discover you.

When people join your list to get their freebie, the best way to turn them into clients is to send them a series of emails explaining who you are, how you can help them, and what you offer.
