We experimented with about $50 price of promoted pins earlier than figuring out we might make our pins go viral on our own, without the help of adverts. For most new bloggers, I advocate focusing exclusively, 100 percent on Pinterest to get your first important stream of consistent visitors. It actually is one of the best use of your time at this stage of your blog. When Ben and I first started running a blog, we tried to be all over the place, on a regular basis. There are hundreds of other “blogs about blogging” and personal finance… and lots of them are means bigger than us. Because the leaders in whatever area of interest you may be running a blog about are already earning money.
