I “Deleted” a Working Pinterest Account and Gained Clarity (Here’s Why)
I didn’t actually delete it—it just felt finished to me Period
I stopped posting on a working Pinterest account. Strange? Here’s why: I was no longer playing the testing games, and stepping back gave me more clarity than growth ever did.
Yeah, I used to run a Pinterest account for my femininity and dating online business because I didn’t just want to help women become feminine—I wanted to help people make money. I risked my life crossing deserts and the Mediterranean Sea years ago, looking for a better life. The Pinterest I was posting on was doing well. But when I shifted to digital products and online business, I knew the message had changed. And clarity matters more than comfort—which I finally started feeling.
Before starting from zero, I tested my strategy.
I returned to my old Pinterest account and began posting content about digital products, making money online, and online business growth. My Pinterest impressions and monthly views increased steadily. That wasn’t luck—it was a strategy I wanted to try before I was fully ready, and I was a bit afraid to start afresh. Get it? If you don’t get it now, you will.
That test confirmed everything.
So on 20.12.2025, I made a deliberate decision to take my business seriously in 2026. I wanted to impact people, teach them they can build their brand and make money, and I also wanted visibility, ease with money, and a brand built to last.
Here’s what I did next:
Bought a new website domain: meritenabulele.com (yes, I stepped up because I’m on my way up!)
Created a new Pinterest business account
Chose one clear niche: digital products
This time, I’m not treating Pinterest like social media.
I’m using it as a search engine for long-term traffic. And I’ll share the results on 21.12.2026. (If you’re reading this, don’t forget to bring me back here by asking me to share my one-year result—pleaseeee—I just want to come back and show what worked, for better or worse.)
Pinterest favors:
Clear SEO keywords
Valuable, searchable content
Consistency, not perfection
Your pins don’t vanish after 24 hours. They work quietly in the background, sending free traffic to your website over time.
That’s why Pinterest is powerful for anyone selling digital products—especially beginners like you and me. And even for people already using it—welcome home.
In this series, I’ll share:
How I restarted Pinterest the right way
Pinterest SEO tips for digital products
How to increase Pinterest impressions and monthly views

If you’re rebuilding your Pinterest—or starting fresh—this is your sign.

How I Discovered Pinterest Marketing for Business (Without Burnout)
I discovered Pinterest marketing for business because I was tired of loud platforms and constant posting.
I wanted a calm way to market my digital products online—without the stress of feeding a social media algorithm every single day.
I actually started using Pinterest over three years ago, if not more, but I didn’t take it seriously. At the time, I was a femininity and dating coach. I created pins occasionally, posted randomly, and saw almost no Pinterest impressions. So I assumed Pinterest didn’t work.
I was wrong.
Later, I kept hearing creators and business owners talk about using Pinterest for marketing. YouTube videos, blog posts, success stories—everyone kept saying Pinterest was driving traffic and sales.
So I decided to learn it properly.
I watched tutorials, bought ebooks, read books, and finally understood something important:
Pinterest is not social media.
Pinterest is a search engine—just like Google—but visual. People come looking for beautiful things, often without realizing they are already traffic.
That realization changed everything.
People use Pinterest to search for ideas, solutions, and products to buy, just like they do on Google. This makes Pinterest a powerful tool for selling digital products, especially if you want long-term traffic.
The more I tested Pinterest SEO, keywords, and content creation, the more I saw results. And what I loved most? Pinterest works beautifully for faceless businesses. You don’t have to show up daily. Your pins keep working in the background.
Now, I use Pinterest as a marketing strategy for my online business—one that feels calm, aligned, and sustainable.

Why Pinterest?
Good question! Why Pinterest? Why do I even have to be on Pinterest?
Because Pinterest lets you breathe.
Pinterest is not like Instagram or TikTok.
It’s a search platform, not a scrolling competition.
People go on Pinterest because they’re looking for something—ideas, answers, inspiration. And yes—things to buy. That’s why Pinterest works so well for digital products.
Here’s why I love using Pinterest for my business:
You don’t have to post every day
Your pins don’t disappear after 24 hours like on social media. One pin can work for you for months, if not years. Quietly. Faithfully.
Pinterest brings free traffic
With the right words and images, Pinterest sends people to your website while you live your life—family, kids, hustle-free.
It’s perfect for digital products
Pinterest users plan before they buy. They save. They come back. They purchase. And yes, you can do all of this with a faceless account.
Faceless accounts do really well
No camera. No talking. No pressure. Just clean visuals, clear messages, and—stopppp—that’s all you need. No large investment required.
It feels calm, not chaotic
Pinterest rewards consistency, not hustle. Slow growth here is strong growth.
Pinterest is soft marketing with real results.
No chasing.
No shouting.
Just content that blooms over time—like feminine energy. 🌸
If you want to sell digital products without burnout, Pinterest might be your quiet advantage.
How to Use Pinterest to Promote Digital Products, Services, and Your Blog
Legooooooo! 🎉
If you sell digital products or services online—or if you’re a blogger—Pinterest can be one of your best tools to get traffic, grow your audience, and make sales. But first, let’s quickly break down what Pinterest Marketing and Content Marketing really are. I know you know, but let me give you a little reminder.
What is Pinterest Marketing?
Pinterest marketing is using Pinterest to get people to see your business, click your links, and take action—like buying a product, signing up, or reading your blog.
Pinterest is not like Instagram or TikTok. On those platforms, people scroll for fun. On Pinterest, people are actively searching for solutions, ideas, or things to buy.
Think of Pinterest like Google—but with pictures.
People search for things like:
“How to sell digital products”
“Easy Canva templates”
If your pins show up for those searches, you get free clicks and traffic without paying for ads. Win-win, you win, Pinterest wins… winnnnnnn!
And if you’re a blogger, Pinterest can send people straight to your blog posts, making it an amazing tool for marketing your content and growing your audience. In fact, that’s exactly what I do—Pinterest drives steady traffic to my blog while I focus on creating content.
That’s why Pinterest is such a powerful tool for your business or blog.
What is Content Marketing?
Content marketing is creating helpful, valuable content that your audience actually wants.
It’s not just posting random pictures—it’s about teaching, inspiring, or solving problems for your audience. (Gbam—exactly what I mean!)
Here are some examples of content you can create:
Step-by-step guides
Checklists or templates
Free resources, ebooks, or guides
Tips and tricks for your niche
When you combine content marketing with Pinterest marketing, every pin becomes a tool that brings people to your blog, your website, or your products. You win. Your audience wins. Pinterest wins. 🌸
Why Pinterest + Content Marketing Works
Pinterest is search-based, which means your pins keep bringing traffic for months—even years.
Content marketing gives your pins real value, so people actually click, engage, and trust your business.
Together, they create a system where people discover your content, get value, and eventually buy your products—or read more on your blog. 🌸
How to Use Pinterest to Promote Digital Products, Services, and Your Blog (And Yes—How to Start Your Blog in 2026, Enjoy!)
Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide:
- Research Your Audience
Figure out the problems they need solved. Solve their problems, and you make money people actually want to pay for.
Check what they’re searching for on Pinterest.
Example searches:
“How to sell digital products online”
“Easy Canva templates for beginners”
“Marketing tips for bloggers”
- Create Helpful Pins
Each pin should solve a problem or teach something.
Example pins:
“Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Your First Ebook”
“5 Ways to Get Blog Traffic Fast”
- Use Pinterest SEO
Add keywords to your pin titles, descriptions, and board names.
This helps Pinterest show your pins to the right audience.
- Link Your Pins
Every pin should lead somewhere: your website, product page, or blog post.
Make it easy for people to buy, download, or read more.
- Design Pins That Pop
Use vertical images (2:3 ratio).
Add easy-to-read text overlay.
Keep your brand colors consistent so people recognize your pins.
(PS: In my Pinterest marketing course, I also give you a free 40-pin post guide to get started selling and making money with Pinterest. Link’s in the course!)
- Organize Your Boards
Use keyword-rich board names and group pins around topics your audience searches for.
Example boards:
“Online Business Tips”
“Digital Product Ideas”
“Blog Marketing Tips”
- Be Consistent
You don’t have to post every day. Personally, I post daily 😅, but even a few pins a week works.
Focus on quality over quantity—Pinterest rewards helpful and consistent content.
- Track and Improve
Check Pinterest analytics for clicks, saves, and traffic.
Do more of what works and tweak what doesn’t.
Pinterest + content marketing = a calm, powerful system that grows your business and your blog while you live your life.
Your pins work for you in the background. You create once, and they keep sending traffic, readers, leads, and sales.
Soft strategy. Strong results. Aligned income. 🌸
Pinterest Marketing 101
Pinterest Marketing 101 is all about using Pinterest strategically to grow your business, blog, or digital products. It’s the beginner’s guide to understanding how Pinterest works and how you can make it work for you.
Here’s the key: Pinterest isn’t really social media. People don’t scroll there for fun. They go to Pinterest with a purpose—they’re searching for ideas, solutions, or things to buy. That’s why it’s such a goldmine for businesses and creators.
When you pin something—whether it’s a blog post, a course, or a digital product—you’re creating a visual doorway that brings people to your website. And unlike other platforms, your pins don’t disappear after a day. They stay on Pinterest, quietly working for you, showing up in searches, and bringing clicks, readers, and sales for months or even years.
Pinterest Marketing 101 also teaches you how to combine content marketing with Pinterest marketing. That means your pins aren’t just pretty pictures—they’re helpful, valuable, and solve real problems for your audience. Every pin should teach, inspire, or guide someone. That’s what gets people to click, follow, and eventually buy your products or services.
Once you understand Pinterest Marketing 101, you realize it’s perfect for digital products, services, or blogging. You don’t need to chase trends or post every day. You create intentionally, use the right keywords, and let Pinterest do the heavy lifting for you.
It’s calm marketing that actually works.
Soft strategy. Strong results. Aligned income. 🌸
Pinterest SEO Strategy: Easy Guide for Beginners
Pinterest SEO is all about helping Pinterest understand your pins and boards so it can show them to people who are actually searching for what you offer. Think of it like Google, but for beautiful images.
If you’re selling digital products, services, or even running a blog, Pinterest SEO is how you get free, targeted traffic that actually clicks, reads, and buys.
Here’s how it works in simple terms:
Keywords Are Key
People type in words when they search on Pinterest. These are called keywords. Your job is to use those same words in your pin titles, descriptions, and board names.
Example: If you sell a digital planner, use keywords like:
“Digital planner for beginners”
“Printable planner PDF”
“Organize your week digitally”
Optimize Your Boards
Boards are like folders for your pins. Give them clear, searchable names that tell Pinterest what your content is about.
Example: “Digital Product Tips,” “Blogging Resources,” or “Pinterest Marketing for Beginners.”
Write Clear Pin Descriptions
Your pin description should explain what the pin is about and include your keywords naturally. Think of it like a mini-ad for your content.
Example: “Learn how to create your first digital planner PDF and get more traffic to your blog using Pinterest marketing.”
Use Hashtags Smartly
Add 2–5 relevant hashtags in your description. Hashtags help Pinterest understand context, but don’t overload it.
Add Alt Text / Image SEO
When uploading pins, include descriptive text so Pinterest (and even Google) knows what your image is about.
The magic? One well-optimized pin can keep bringing traffic for months or even years. Unlike Instagram or TikTok posts that disappear quickly, Pinterest works quietly in the background, sending clicks to your products, services, or blog.
Combine Pinterest SEO with helpful, high-value pins like guides, checklists, or tutorials—and you’ve got a low-stress marketing system that grows your business and audience over time.
Soft strategy. Long-term results. Aligned income. 🌸
Here’s the truth: Pinterest works—even if you’re just starting out, even if you’re shy about showing your face, and even if you think you’re “too small” to make an impact. Pinterest is calm, patient, and rewards helpful content. That means your pins can quietly bring clicks, readers, and sales while you focus on creating your digital products, services, or blog posts.
But I know starting can feel overwhelming. Where do you even begin? Which pins should you make first? How do you make Pinterest work for your business?
