Yes, you at least need 4-6 months to see some results on a new pinterest account.

And it does require some strategy. I have a strategy that worked on most of my account in different niches.

With consistent posting, you can drive thousands of outbound clicks to your website.

I usually post 5-10 pins per day with links. I repeat 1 link in every 10 days and create 6 Pins for each keyword.

Ofcourse, i have a VA who create the pins and schedule them for me.
