Welcome back to the blog, today I’m sharing the top Pinterest Trends of October to help you plan a month’s worth of content in only 30 minutes. This is my ultimate Pinterest growth hack for 2024. 

My goal with these posts is to help you plan a month’s content using topics your audience is already searching for on Pinterest. When you use Pinterest trends to create content, you’ll reach your target audience 10x faster. 

Even if you only create one piece of content per month based on a Pinterest Trend – it will help your blog grow in all areas. So keep reading to steal my top Pinterest Trends for October 2024. 

Disclaimer: If you’ve seen your Pinterest traffic decrease this year, don’t be alarmed! Pinterest is updating its pinning system to simplify things and bring back the ‘standard’ pin type. Whenever Pinterest makes these big changes, it’s normal to see decreases. Keep pinning, keep creating, and make sure that you utilize these trends. 

(Hopefully, I’ll be able to take that disclaimer out soon! Only two of my clients have moved to the ‘new’ pinning system so it’s definitely a slow rollout. While you wait, just keep pinning and blogging consistently.

Now let’s dive straight into my October Pinterest Trends. October is officially busy season on Pinterest. From now until January, have your holiday content prepared and ready to share.

Remember, Pinterest trends tend to start 20% earlier than other platforms and sustain 21% longer. That means it’s OK to use trends from previous months and take inspiration from those trends to apply to things trending now.

How does this Pinterest trends guide work?

The guide is organized by niche and then each bullet point is a trending keyword on Pinterest. In other words, each bullet point is a trending search term that pinners have been searching for. 

You can copy and paste the exact phrases and turn them into content on your blog and social media accounts. Think about creating a dedicated blog post about one of these trends and then a Reel or TikTok video that can also be shared on Pinterest. 

Whatever you choose to do next, this guide will help you grow your blog and Pinterest
