How I took Everipedia's Pinterest account from 31 monthly viewers to over 1,000,000

Everipedia is heralded in the press as “The new Wikipedia.” However, Everipedia has much more to offer than Wikipedia. While covering everything Wikipedia does, Everipedia’s is fundamentally an Encyclopedia of Everything. Its core strength lies in the fact that it covers many subjects Wikipedia doesn’t (and won’t.) Everipedia uses blockchain technology to help fulfill a vision for a world where all knowledge is available to all people. They have succeeded in taking the Online Encyclopedia into the Modern Age.

Missed Opportunity: Pinterest

Another core strength of Everipedia is its wealth and up-to-date range of good quality subject images. While Everipedia has a robust social media presence on Facebook and Twitter, Stephan recognized that Pinterest was an overlooked platform, perfect for showcasing Everipedia’s prodigious daily output of quality content while simultaneously yielding great SEO results.

Before starting

Retrieve the account! We discovered there was an existing Everipedia account with the Everipedia name, however, no one at the company could recall any of the login details or who had created it.

This happens more often than one might think. At the outset, a company will create social media sites across the board. The focus then tends to fall on one or two platforms. When companies return to a fellow social media platform, they then discover there is an existing account and the name has been taken. If the account cannot be retrieved, it creates all kinds of issues over ownership of the company name. Before going the arduous, time-consuming route of trying to claim an account from a platform, first, check/contact the employee who created other social media accounts – ask them to check their emails, sometimes going back years. Nine times out of ten, bingo.

Strategy

It is important to come up with a theme for Pinterest boards business accounts that immediately and accurately reflect the essence of a company at a glance. You want to establish the Who, What, When, How of a company without ever opening a board.

Having a solid theme makes things simple by providing a framework for categorizing and creating new boards.
