My answer is simple. Continually pin high-quality Pins, both my own (about 60-70 % of total pins pinned) and from all around Pinterest. Sure, the algorithms love that, but it&#8217;s more about providing value to real humans. Readers know there is always something fresh and exciting on my boards and bloggers love the love and the shares. My Pinterest page continually refreshes with new and organized content to keep bringing people back again and again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>When I choose a Pin to share, I put myself in the shoes of my readers. Is it something they would like to pin themselves or even click through. I always look for visually stunning photography with catchy headlines and a solid story underneath. My Aha! moment came when I looked at my Pins and realized I didn&#8217;t have a true keyword rich description on my Pins, just a meta-description linked to my blog post. Once I learned this and implemented the change (you can do this with coding, or make it easy and get the Tasty Pins plug-in), my account really begun to grow.\u009d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9076 colorbox-9057 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Pinterest.jpg-300x237.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"237\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Pinterest.jpg-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Pinterest.jpg-768x607.png 768w, https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Pinterest.jpg.png 911w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/237;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9076 colorbox-9057\" src=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Pinterest.jpg-300x237.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Pinterest.jpg-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Pinterest.jpg-768x607.png 768w, https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Pinterest.jpg.png 911w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strategize_Content_for_Your_Readers\"><\/span><strong>Strategize Content for Your Readers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Focus on helping, not SEO-ing.

I have started a blog in order to share with friends and family the places that I have been to and could be of interest to others, and now available to tens of thousands of like-minded people 24\/7. And that means writing without an agenda. I write not for SEO, or for affiliate links but for the readers who read my blog and have done so year after year and act on my advice. I share my trips on social media and on my blog with one purpose only: to help someone else have a better trip. It truly makes my day when someone goes to a hotel, a restaurant or books a seat on a plane and they associate that experience with me. And I love that people take the time to then send me a photo of such experience. Makes all the hours that no one sees totally worth it.<\/p>\n<p>I work with brands and destinations but they have to be of interest to my readers (and myself most of all). So that means declining 90% of brand work, at a significant cost, but it means I can sleep well at night. One thing I never do accept invitations for events or experiences that my readers could not book themselves. That is not inspiring in any way and it has been commented on more than a handful of times.\u009d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_the_olden_Rule_as_a_Social_Media_Strategy\"><\/span><strong>Using the olden Rule as a Social Media Strategy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-9063 colorbox-9057 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/The-Uncorked-Librarian.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"241\" height=\"241\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/The-Uncorked-Librarian.png 600w, https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/The-Uncorked-Librarian-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/The-Uncorked-Librarian-300x300.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 241px) 100vw, 241px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 241px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 241\/241;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-9063 colorbox-9057\" src=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/The-Uncorked-Librarian.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"241\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/The-Uncorked-Librarian.png 600w, https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/The-Uncorked-Librarian-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/The-Uncorked-Librarian-300x300.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 241px) 100vw, 241px\" \/><\/noscript><br \/>\nChristine, aka <a href=\"https:\/\/theuncorkedlibrarian.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>The Uncorked Librarian<\/strong><\/a>, does unto others what she wants them to do conversation, community, and more. Have you tried the same?<br \/>\nChristine&#8217;s point of view: Although I have a smaller following across social media channels, one of the biggest and most flattering questions I&#8217;ve been asked is, How do you receive so much sincere engagement?<\/p>\n<p>These days, you will find few single emoji responses on my pictures, although this practice still happens to even the best of us. My secret: Instead of spending time in engagement pods or Facebook groups playing the follow-for-follow games, I just do me. I put out in the world what I expect to receive in return: Conversations, constructive dialogue, conscious travel, community, and relationship building. I spend time on my captions and talking with my followers. I get to know everyone who takes the time to consistently engage with me.<\/p>\n<p>But the most important part of this relationship is that our conversation is natural and sincere, we hear this all of the time and ignore it. Most importantly, as a blogger, writer, and traveler, my main goal is to provide value to my audience. My platforms are not about me. If you provide endless value, tips, tricks, and advice and give it away freely without a buy or wanting something for yourself always attached, your true followers will come. Our motivations, goals, and sincerity are more transparent than we know.<\/p>\n<p>Even on Pinterest, a visual search engine, I usually receive around 1+ million monthly views that translates to hundreds if not a thousand blog hits a day. By having attractive, rich pins that are SEO keyworded with strong headlines telling readers how this post will brighten their lives, I find the most success. Readers come to your channels and blog looking to have a problem solved or their lives enhanced. They want to connect with a real breathing human and a good person. Provide free value and engage like everyone is your good friend. Maybe, one day, they even will be.\u009d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_You_You_are_the_Strategy\"><\/span><strong>Be You.

If you don&#8217;t wear frilly dresses or pastel pink in your everyday life, then don&#8217;t do it on your accounts! Also, your captions are another opportunity to include your own personality and flair, don&#8217;t use words or phrases that you would never say when talking to your friends. True fans come from feeling connected to the person, they want to feel like they can trust you and you are real. In order for them to do that you need to do you and nobody else.\u009d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summing_up_the_Social_Media_Strategies\"><\/span><strong>Summing up the Social Media Strategies<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I love how these four bloggers share the philosophy of making it about helping the readers. There&#8217;s an underlying theme of being the best possible you and make it about the followers. That certainly has a lot to do with their successes. Jenna&#8217;s practical advice of a true keyword description on her pins, versus meta-description linked to her blog post, is an easy fix, don&#8217;t you think? And the results are impressive.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, I am 100%\u00a0 aligned with The Uncorked Librariana&#8217;s take on pods and follow-to-follow and will stick with authentic and organic engagement versus pod engagement.
