FAQ: The Power of Voice Branding and Podcasting

1. Why is Pinterest considered an "underrated" platform for marketing, and for whom is it best suited?

Pinterest is often underrated for marketing because many people primarily use it for ideas and pinning rather than for business purposes. However, it's a powerful marketing tool because it functions more like a visual search engine than a traditional social media platform.

Pinterest is highly recommended for almost any type of business, including product-based businesses, e-commerce, authors (selling books), Amazon affiliates, bloggers, service-based businesses, coaches, corporations, private companies, and enterprises.

2. How does Pinterest differ from traditional social media platforms like Instagram or Facebook in terms of content longevity and user intent?

Unlike Instagram or Facebook, where content has a short lifespan (an Instagram post's half-life is about 72 hours), Pinterest pins have a much longer lifespan, potentially benefiting you for years. Content posted on Instagram or Facebook is designed for immediate engagement (likes, comments), while Pinterest is primarily a search engine where users go to "plan" and "discover." People search on Pinterest for unbranded ideas and inspiration, similar to how they use Google Images.

3. How can businesses leverage Pinterest's unique features, such as boards and linking capabilities, to drive traffic and generate leads?

Pinterest's "boards" act like organized folders, allowing businesses to categorize content by specific interests, much like aisles in a grocery store. This helps users easily find content relevant to their needs.

A key advantage of Pinterest is its robust linking capabilities. When you create a pin, you can include a "destination link" that directs users back to your website, blog post, product page, or even other platforms like YouTube or Spotify. This directly drives traffic to your owned properties.
