Pinterest Power for Authors

30% INCREASE IN SEARCHES RELATED TO BOOKS & READING

ENROLL NOW!

And have you ever thought about Pinner's Purchase Behavior?

85% of Pinners say they use Pinterest to plan new projects or purchases, including books and resources.

48% of Pinners use the platform to discover books or book-related content, meaning that you can use Pinterest to promote your books.

Pinterest is one of the most underutilized platforms for authors—yet it has millions of active users looking for inspiration, products, and, yes, books!

Unlike Instagram or Facebook, where posts quickly disappear, your Pins live on, driving traffic and growing your reach for months—even years—after they’re posted. The return on investment for Pinterest is huge for authors who know how to use it effectively.

If you’re serious about growing your readership and boosting book sales, Pinterest is a must-have tool in your marketing arsenal.

Which leads me to the LIFESPAN of social media posts compared to Pinterest.

It makes sense to spend your time on something that lasts and lasts, rather than on the fleeting presence of social media posts, doesn't it?

Let Pinterest work for YOU (and recapture time lost to social media marketing).

Pinterest is one of the top platforms for visual content discovery, with over 2 billion searches every month!

Engaging & visually appealing Pins can get reshared and repinned, which means they have a longer shelf life than posts on platforms like Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook.

This is where Pinterest Power for Authors can help!

Get a straightforward step-by-step process to make Pinterest part of your AUTHOR MARKETING PLAN.

Women in Publishing Summit Attendee

I had no idea Pinterest could be so powerful for authors. I've used it for other things, but not for my business. I'm changing that now thanks to Melissa's talk at the Women in Publishing Summit and the Pinterest Power for Author's course.

I highly recommend this because it will give you a new perspective.
