How To Use Pinterest For Blog Ideas

Disclosure: The FTC Disclosure Provision is a law that requires influencers to disclose when they are being paid to promote a product or service. So please know that if I'm not making money through affiliate links/sponsored content on the post you're currently reading, it's an oversight on my part and will be corrected soon. Read the full disclosure about all the legal stuff here.

Pinterest is one of the most popular social media platforms, and with good reason. It's a visual platform that makes it easy to share photos, videos and other content. And while Pinterest users are often sharing their own pins (I highly recommend creating multiple pins for all your blog posts), you can use this platform to get ideas for blog posts as well.

I LOVE Pinterest! I can (and do) spend hours scrolling the site. I use it for inspiration for pretty much anything and everything; recipes, home decorating, travel... the list goes on. I also use it to create pins for my blog posts and YouTube video's. One of my favourite ways to use it though is for book blogging ideas.

Seriously, Pinterest is a gold mine of inspiration when it comes to finding new ideas for blog posts.

Using Pinterest to Inspire Your Book Blog

Follow other book bloggers who post on Pinterest

Follow other book bloggers who post on Pinterest.

There are a lot of great book blogs out there, but if you're not familiar with them, it can be hard to know where to start. To find new book bloggers to follow on Pinterest, use this search tool: http://www.pinterest.com/search/?q=book+blogger&sort=DESC&filter=tags%20descending&page=1&search_items_per_page=10

Search for hashtags

Search for tags like #amreading, #bookblogger, and #bookstagram. These are the types of searches that will give you ideas for blog posts.
Find other bloggers who post about books or have similar interests to yours (e.g., they might love reading and writing).
Find people who share your passion for reading/writing/etc.

Research popular topics in your niche

Use the search function to find popular pins.

Find out what people are interested in seeing and sharing on Pinterest, for example: "I love this idea!" or "This is my favorite book!"

Share your best posts on Pinterest

Share your best posts on Pinterest. This step is simple and can take just a few minutes.

Share the post, not just the link. Once you've created an account, share your blog post as usual, but also include a brief summary of it in this section before linking out to your blog post itself.

Using Pinterest to find blog ideas is a great way to keep your blog fresh and interesting.

Pinterest is a great way to keep your blog fresh and interesting. It can be used to find blog post topics, book ideas and book reviews. The best part about using Pinterest for blog ideas is that you don't need any special skills or knowledge about the topic—all you need is an internet connection!

To find great blog ideas on Pinterest go ahead and search through some boards related to whichever topics interest you most at this point in time (book blogging, book reviews, etc...); then scroll down until there's something interesting. If not then maybe try another board until one shows up!

Pinterest is a great resource for finding new ideas and inspiration for your blog. By following the tips in this article, you will be able to use Pinterest to find new content every day.

Best Tips for Book Bloggers

Book Blogging Advice and Mistakes to Avoid

This post may contain affiliate links. Meaning, I get a commission if you purchase through my links, at no cost to you. Read the full disclosure here.

Whether you're just started out or have been book blogging for a while now we can all learn from the experience of other book bloggers.

I asked my Twitter buddies for their top tips for book bloggers and they didn't disappoint.

Book Blogging Tips

Book Reviews

On a practical level the sooner you review the books you read the better. The book will be fresh in your mind and so you don't risk forgetting things.

As an avid reader, you probably have several books already on the go or start a new one on finishing the last. Another good reason not to put off creating your reviews.

Don’t wait too long writing your reviews after finishing a book… which… cough… I obviously have no experience with at all😅😅😅🙈

Avoid Overwhelm

It is so very easy to overload your plate and take on too much. If you sign up for every book tour and say yes to every book review request you'll soon be left feeling overwhelmed.

If like me you're guilty of getting click happy on Net Galley you might want to join me for the Net Galley TBR Reading Challenge.

Pace yourself. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Tempting to keep requesting/or buying but churning out reviews like a machine and you'll soon run out of original things to say.

Know your why

Make sure you have a clear idea of why you book blog. You should be doing it first and foremost because you love reading and are passionate about sharing about it. If your heart's not in it it'll show in the content you create.

Also, whilst having goals is great you should try not to compare yourself to other book bloggers. We're all on a different point of our book blogging journey. Celebrate all your personal milestones and enjoy it.

Don't compare yourself to others, be happy doing what you're doing, and do it for you. I appreciate that's easier said than done.

Do what feels right for you

Book blogging can feel stressful at times and lead to overwhelm when your TBR gets out of control and you lack inspiration for a new blog post. Try to find the right amount for you. You don't have to post new content everyday.

When possible try to schedule a few blog posts in advance so you can take a few days off.

Blog when you feel like blogging. Read when you feel like reading. Do things when you feel like doing them and breaks are A-OK ✌

And last but not least...

Be consistent

It might seem contradictory given the last point but being consistent is more important than you think. This applies to both your blog and the social media channels you use to promote it.
