How to Use Pinterest to Drive Traffic and Sales (Without Showing Your Face!)

Hey Lovely,

So you’ve created your digital product—maybe a workbook, a journal, or a mini-course. Now what?

Let me introduce you to your new marketing bestie: Pinterest.
Pinterest is not just for recipes and DIYs—it’s a powerful search engine. And the best part? You don’t need to show your face or dance on video to make it work!

Here’s how to use Pinterest to drive traffic and get consistent sales from your products—without the stress.


Step 1: Set Up a Pinterest Business Account

It’s free and easy. Go to Pinterest Business, and create your account. Use your brand name (or your real name if that’s your brand) and upload a clean, professional profile pic.

Add your website: therestartacademy.com


Step 2: Create Niche Boards

Create boards that align with your audience and digital products. For example:

  • “Divorce Recovery Tips”
  • “Work From Home for Women Over 50”
  • “Healing After Divorce”
  • “Money Mindset for Women”
  • “Passive Income for Beginners”

Each board should be titled clearly and have a short description using keywords your audience is likely to search.


Step 3: Design Your Pins in Canva

Use Pinterest templates in Canva (there are 1000s!) to create beautiful pins for your blog posts, freebies, and digital products.

Tips for Pin Design:

  • Use bold, readable fonts
  • Add your URL at the bottom (branding!)
  • Use soft, feminine colors to match your brand (rose gold, blush, beige, etc.)

Step 4: Write Keyword-Rich Pin Descriptions

Pinterest = a search engine. So instead of cute captions, use keywords like:

“Digital planner for divorced women”
“Work from home ideas after 50”
“Printable healing journal for women starting over”

Use a few hashtags, but keep the description simple and helpful.


Step 5: Link to Your Product or Blog Post

Each pin should lead to:

  • A blog post
  • A product landing page
  • A freebie (to build your email list)

🔥 Insert your ConvertKit affiliate link in pins like:

“Start email marketing today with this beginner-friendly tool!” → [Insert affiliate link here]


Step 6: Pin Consistently (Use Tailwind if You’re Busy)

Aim for 3–5 fresh pins a day. You can use a free tool like Tailwind to schedule everything in one go and keep your Pinterest running in the background.


Step 7: Rinse & Repeat

Keep creating new pins for:

  • The same products (different designs, titles)
  • Your blog posts
  • New freebies
  • Affiliate products (like ConvertKit!)

Pinterest rewards consistency and creativity—not perfection. Just keep pinning!


Final Encouragement

Pinterest is how I drive traffic without showing my face, being glued to my phone, or dancing for views. It’s slow-burn magic—but the results add up fast.

Create. Pin. Grow. Repeat.
Your dream life is one pin away. 😉

With ease and love,
Temi 💖
