Pinterest is strange but I love it

This is a very short post. You might know that Pinterest is one of the few media that is working for me. If you ask me how? I would say – it was the volume and unique look combo. It took a long time to convince the algorithm and I did not see real traction for over a year. But now, something has changed. It might have to do with AI. The more people are using it the harder it is to post, actually, on my analytics breakdown a strange pattern has appeared. Every time I posted, my reach went down. As if I was punished for publishing. When I started to publish less, the analytics stabilized somewhat and a new pattern emerged. Low reach on weekends and higher on work days. I suppose it makes sense. More people are on Pinterest when at work rather than on the weekend. You can see the pattern below. If you are getting frustrated, try to post it more. Chance is, that you are mistaken for an AI and prevented from being seen. So post less but go for high value/content. I am not using AI on my pins, so I felt that it is unfair to limit me – but hey, we all know that the algorithm has the final arbiter.

Have a great spring dear friends, and stay creative 🙂

Have you got a similar experience?

Questions I am trying to solve: Can a "one-person business" survive? Does it have a chance in today's world? Is it sustainable for more than a few years? Is it something that can work long-term? In my blog, I am mainly creating lists with tips on how to avoid numerous burnouts while working full-time (and hoping to retire early hahaha).
