I love marketing... but I hate using Pinterest for it. Spent months building boards, pinning consistently, optimising descriptions, the whole nine yards. Thought it'd be this steady traffic source for my solopreneur clients. Instead, I'm lucky if a single pin gets double-digit impressions. Meta's a nightmare, but at least you can throw money at it. Pinterest? You just sit there, waiting, watching those analytics barely move. Someone in a thread recently said it's all about 'saving' not 'clicking' - feels like people treat it as a bookmarking tool, not a discovery engine. My clients ask why their product pins aren't converting, and I have to explain that the platform's algorithm is basically a mystery wrapped in a pretty aesthetic. Honestly, it's made me reconsider whether it's worth the time investment for anyone not selling crafts or recipes. Anyone else feel like Pinterest is just... there?
