\"\"At Shareaholic we’ve kept a close watch on Pinterest’s referral traffic growth this year, most recently sharing our report that Pinterest is on pace to surpass Yahoo! organic traffic this month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This lead to us sharing our thoughts on Pinterest’s removal of its invite-only policy on Bloomberg West with Emily Chang<\/a> yesterday. We got to be on a show we are such huge fans of. Thank you for having us!\"\"<\/p>\n

A little behind-the-scenes information: We shot it remotely from a small studio in downtown Boston. I was actually seeing myself on screen, not Emily, so I didn’t get to see what her reactions were to what I was saying until I watched the recording. Tricky stuff. Such a cool and unique experience.<\/p>\n

Here’s a behind-the-scenes selfie. I’m not lying: The studio is really tiny.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the interview I talk a little bit about while I think the invite-only policy removal is a good and interesting move, I don’t know that it’s the most viral aspect of their growth. Pinterest’s onboarding process<\/a> is incredibly well thought-out with the Facebook integration and seeding of interests. I think those things more than the invite-only aspects were impactful to growth.<\/p>\n

Opportunities like this make me especially happy to work on a team that makes a product that offers us such compelling data to talk about. Only one of us got to go on TV, but make no mistake, this is a team effort!<\/p>\n

What do you think of Pinterest’s invite-only policy removal? Let us know in the comments!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
