95 | Debunking The Biggest Pinterest Myths I Hear As A Pinterest Manager: What Actually Works in 2025

The Kara Report | Online Marketing Tips and Candid Business Conversations

We’ve all heard them: “Pinterest doesn’t work anymore.” “It’s only for recipes and DIY.” “You need to post 35 times a day to see results.” But what if those Pinterest myths are actually keeping your business from one of the most powerful organic traffic tools out there?
In this episode, I’m breaking down the biggest misconceptions about Pinterest — and sharing what actually drives results in 2025. Whether you’re a coach, service provider, or e-commerce brand, Pinterest is still one of the best ways to drive long-term traffic, build brand authority, and turn cold audiences into loyal customers.
And here’s the thing: you don’t need to be a full-time creator or spend hours pinning every day. You just need a strategy that’s rooted in how Pinterest actually works — not how it used to work.
If you’ve been sleeping on Pinterest because of outdated advice, this episode is going to change how you see the platform for good.
🎙️ In This Episode:

• Pinterest is a “cherry-on-top” strategy that amplifies what’s already working in your marketing
• Examples of niches Pinterest will work for
• Why Pinterest traffic does convert (and how to capture cold traffic effectively)
• What Pinterest SEO actually looks like now (it’s not just keywords)
• How AI is changing Pinterest search and what it means for your content
• What separates the accounts that give up after a month from the ones that see lasting results
