Pinterest can be a fantastic traffic driver for blogs and all sorts of other businesses. This powerful social network cleverly harnesses the power of images to allow people to create and share their own digital scrapbooks. In other words, it takes the traditional cork board with magazine cutouts and transforms it into an awesome online equivalent.
Key to pulling in lots of visitors from Pinterest is to consistently save high quality original and repinned content to your boards at the optimal times. With that in mind, take a look at these 60 Things To Save To Pinterest in August.
*Please note that not all topics will be applicable for your boards. The key is to learn about your audiences’ interests by observing what they pin and by looking at your Pinterest Analytics (Available with Pinterest Business Accounts).
Save to Pinterest In August
August is what I call a “split month” in North America. Some people are still deep in the throes of summer vacation while others have kiddos headed back to school. School start dates vary regionally and run from the the first few weeks of August until after Labor Day in early September. Therefore, both school-related and summer vacation and activity pins will be popular.
