How to Use Pinterest for Etsy – Boost Sales in 2025 (Even If You’re a Total Beginner)

If you’re trying to start an Etsy or grow your Etsy sales and feel like no one’s seeing your products, let me introduce you to my secret weapon. I’ll show you how to use Pinterest for Etsy to get seen and explode your sales.

Whether you’re launching your first shop or already selling but struggling with visibility, Pinterest is a traffic goldmine that most Etsy beginners completely overlook.

The best part here is that you don’t need to show your face or spend hours promoting yourself online.

In this blog, I’ll break down how to use Pinterest + Etsy together to drive more traffic, get more eyes on your products, and boost your sales—organically.

Let’s get into it 👇🏽

Why Etsy Is the Perfect Starting Point for Beginners

 

Selling on Etsy is ideal if you’re new to online business, especially for digital products.

Here’s why:

🛒 Built-in Marketplace: Etsy already has millions of active buyers

💰 No Upfront Cost: You post your website and you only pay for $.20 listing fee for each product every month.

🎯 Niche Audience: Etsy buyers love creative, handmade, and digital items.

🔍 Built-in SEO: Etsy helps your products get found if you use keywords right.

🤝 Supportive Seller Community

That said, Etsy is getting competitive. So simply uploading a listing isn’t enough anymore. You need to get seen outside Etsy too. This is why it is crucial to learn how to use Pinterest for Etsy shop visibility and drive more traffic.

Why Pinterest is a Game-Changer for Etsy Sellers

 

Pinterest is not social media platform—it’s a visual search engine. That means your pins can show up in searches for months (or even years) after you post them.

Here’s why that matters:

📌 Pinterest users come to discover and shop

🔎 Pins are searchable with keywords (just like Google!)

⏳ Pins have a longer life span than IG or TikTok posts

💸 You can drive traffic to your Etsy listings 24/7, even while you sleep

This makes it the perfect place to promote your products organically—without showing your face, going viral, or posting daily.

How to Use Pinterest for Etsy & Boost Sales

1. Set up a Pinterest Business Account (it’s free). If you are already using Pinterest, you can convert your personal account into a business account.

2. Optimize your profile – use keywords in  your name, description, and boards

3. Create boards around your niche – e.g., “Wedding Printables,” “Budget Planners,” etc.

4. Design simple, scroll-stopping pins in Canva

5. Use SEO keywords in your pin titles, description, and alt text.

6. Link your pins directly to your Etsy listings

💡 Pro Tip: Use a tool like EverBee, Erank, or Pinterest Trend to find high-search, low-competition keywords. Combine Etsy SEO with Pinterest SEO for unstoppable visibility.

Where to Find Keywords That Actually Work (For Etsy + Pinterest)

 

🔍 Pinterest Trends – search seasonal and trending topics

🔍 Etsy Search Bar – type a few words and let Etsy auto-suggest keywords

🔍 Erank / Marmalead / EverBee – tools that analyze Etsy listing data

🔍 Pinterest Search Suggestions – same method as Etsy

✅ Use these keywords in:

• Etsy titles & tags
• Pinterest pin titles
• Pinterest board descriptions
• Product descriptions
• Alt Text

Consistency is key. The more quality pins you create, the more your products get discovered.
