18: Is Pinterest Really Worth It For Your Handmade Business? with Laura Rike

In this episode of the Product Growth Lab podcast, hosts Andrew George and Melissa Pikul introduce their first guest, Pinterest expert Laura Rike. They discuss the unique benefits of Pinterest as a search engine rather than a social media platform and how it can drive long-lasting traffic and sales for product-based businesses. Laura shares insights on the importance of SEO on Pinterest, how to effectively use keywords, and the advantages of scheduling pins for consistent engagement. She emphasizes the forgiving nature of Pinterest and encourages business owners to start using the platform to see gradual results. Additionally, Laura addresses common myths about sharing other people’s content and the relevance of group boards today. The episode wraps up with tips for utilizing different pin types, such as videos and static images, to reach varied audiences and a call to action for taking the first steps on Pinterest.
