Why food creators should be on Pinterest
People plan meals on Pinterest: weekly dinners, party menus, festive sweets, healthy lunch boxes. A recipe pin is saved to boards and keeps sending visitors to your blog or YouTube video for years. Indian vegetarian, vegan and regional recipes are especially popular with audiences in India, the US and the UK.
What makes a recipe pin work
A vertical 2:3 image of the finished dish, bright and close. A short text overlay with the dish name and a benefit, such as 'Easy Paneer Tikka in Air Fryer'. A pin title and description with the words people search. A link to the full recipe.
Link to the recipe
Link pins directly to your recipe post or YouTube video, not your homepage. If your blog runs ads, these are real visitors; never buy website traffic for an ad-supported blog.
Boards that match searches
Create boards like Indian Breakfast Recipes, Navratri Fasting Recipes, Kids' Tiffin Ideas, Eggless Baking, South Indian Recipes and Healthy Indian Dinners. Clear names help Pinterest understand and distribute your pins.
What to order
A new food profile might order 500 to 2,000 followers gradually. Pinterest reach depends on pin quality and keywords more than followers, so spend effort on pins.
Example: an eggless baking blogger
A Delhi blogger who writes eggless baking recipes opens a Pinterest business profile with 80 followers. She orders 1,000 followers over two weeks, makes three pin designs for each of 60 recipes and pins five a day with Pinterest's scheduler. Within six months Pinterest sends more readers than Instagram, many of them in the US searching for eggless cakes.
Several pins per recipe
Make a finished-dish pin, a step-by-step collage pin and a short video pin for each recipe. Different pins reach different searchers.
Seasonal recipes
Pinterest users plan ahead. Pin Diwali sweets in August, Christmas cakes in October and summer drinks in February.
