Episode 70: Pinterest Isn’t Dead. The 2025 Strategy That Still Drives Traffic with Elaine Timms
Pinterest has changed, but it’s far from dead. In this episode, Ashley chats with Pinterest strategist Elaine Timms about what’s working in 2025—keywords, pin styles, timelines, and smart systems that keep your evergreen content working while you live your life.
You’ll hear:
Why keywords beat volume every time
Static vs. video vs. carousel pins (and what to ignore)
Tailwind in 2025: what to use, what to skip
How to repurpose IG/blog content for a cold search audience
A realistic traction timeline (hello, 6–9 months)
The 3 biggest mistakes that kill reach on Pinterest
A simple workflow to organize links, do keyword research, and batch pins
Quick hits:
Best pin cadence: start with ~5/day if you can, but Pinterest SEO > pin count
Board names = keywords (skip the cutesy)
Write human-friendly board descriptions with secondary keywords
Avoid keyword stuffing; diversify pin titles and visuals
