Pinterest Strategy for Bloggers: How to Boost Blog Traffic in 2025

📌 Pinterest Strategy for Food Bloggers: How to Boost Blog Traffic in 2025

Are your Pinterest numbers declining—or are you stuck using outdated Pinterest strategies that don't work anymore?

👉 This is a rare behind-the-scenes look at my Pinterest coaching process—outside of my paid Pinterest course Pin Potential—where I pull back the curtain and share specific Pinterest strategies designed to drive real results. This is just a tiny taste of what it is like to be a student in my course and program.

In this video, I sit down with Shweta from Masala and Chai for a live Pinterest hot seat session where we troubleshoot exactly what food bloggers need to do in 2025 to grow traffic and engagement (this is helpful for any blogger to be honest!). Whether you're a blogger, recipe creator, or food content creator looking to scale your blog traffic with Pinterest, this deep-dive is packed with actionable advice and real-time coaching from Pinterest expert Meagan Williamson.

We cover:

Why Pinterest SEO and keyword strategy are essential for bloggers (but in particular food bloggers on Pinterest)

The biggest mistakes bloggers make on Pinterest right now (and how to fix them)

How to optimize your Pinterest profile for better visibility, rank and engagement

Best practices for blog and content optimization and creating high-performing Pins that get saved and clicked

Why Pinterest video marketing is key to staying competitive in 2025 and most often not being done by your competitors!

Shweta’s blog focuses on Indian American food and recipes, and she shares her journey from Instagram food creator to blogging, how Pinterest became a growth engine, and what happened when her traffic and revenue dropped in the recent months —plus how she’s bouncing back with stronger Pinterest strategies in 2025.
