If you’re an online entrepreneur, blogger, or coach trying to grow your email list or sell your products, you might feel stuck chasing Instagram trends and getting nowhere. What if there was a better, more sustainable way to drive traffic, collect leads, and make sales—on autopilot?

💡 Enter Pinterest—the most overlooked platform for organic growth.

In the latest episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, I spoke with Nadalie Bardo, aka Your Pin Coach, who shared why Pinterest is a game-changer for creators who want to grow their business without dancing on Reels or fighting algorithm changes.

Here’s what we uncovered—and how you can use Pinterest to grow your list, sell digital products, and make money starting now.


🎯 Pinterest Isn’t Social Media—It’s a Search Engine

Unlike Instagram or TikTok, Pinterest is a visual search engine. That means content you create today can continue bringing you traffic and leads months or even years from now.

“Pinterest is the slow burn that keeps burning,” says Nadalie. “It brings in long-term results without the need to post daily.”

Instead of relying on fleeting posts that disappear from feeds, you’re building an evergreen traffic machine.


🚀 Step 1: Grow Your Email List with Pinterest

The smartest way to use Pinterest? To grow your list with a lead magnet or freebie.

👋 Don’t have a freebie yet? With MiloTree’s Free Plan, you can create an opt-in page in under 5 minutes, upload your freebie, and start collecting email addresses immediately—no tech skills required.

Nadalie recommends starting with 10 links—these could be blog posts, opt-in pages, sales pages, podcast episodes, or YouTube videos. Then:

  1. Find 3–5 Keywords relevant to your niche using Pinterest Trends or the search bar.
  2. Create 5 Pin Templates (Canva is perfect for this).
  3. Design 5 Pins per Link using those templates.
  4. Schedule 1 Pin per Day to start.

This strategy gives you 50 days of content—without burnout.


📅 Tap Into Pinterest Seasonality for Fast Results

Pinterest is a seasonal platform. If you can tap into trends—like summer vacations, back-to-school, or holiday gift guides—you’ll accelerate your growth.

Example: If you’re a gut health coach, try pins like:

  • “How to Navigate Summer BBQs with IBS”
  • “5 Gut-Friendly Holiday Recipes”
  • “What to Pack for a Bloat-Free Beach Trip”

Seasonal content works because it aligns with what your audience is already searching for right now.
