Pinterest Tips

Looking to dig a little deeper into Pinterest and see what you can do besides your basic pinning? This weekโ€™s fab five (ok, I really canโ€™t limit myself to five, sorry) Pinterest tips will give you some new inspiration and hopefully make your pinning more productive.

Pinterest is the ultimate visual playground so, of course, use really good, interesting images on your blog. Be wise and here are some tips from Sara Hawkins onย Avoiding Copyright Pitfalls on Pinterest.

How to use Pinterest with your blog:

1. Create a board for your blog and pin posts when you are on the site.
2. Pin your guest posts on a board so people can read all your guest posts in one place.
3. Create a board of food/social media/tips and share your posts there.
4. Share graphics in a blog post with the <> embed code on Pinterest. This is an example fromย My Book Club,ย note that it even places the source below the photo, very handy!

 

5.ย If you want to see anything thatโ€™s already been pinned for a website โ€” go toย http://pinterest.com/source/[Web site URL here]/ and add the url at the end.
6. Stumble your pins.
7. Use keywords or hashtags for better searchability.

8. Install theย Chrome Pinterest bookmarklet! I use this all the time and love it.

9. Did you know there is a way to pin from Google+? I just figured this out:

  • Set up aย Pluss.es blogย for your Google+ account. It literally takes two seconds and populates from your Google+ content without any work from you. Try pinning from myย Pluss.es pageย if you want to see how it works before you create a page for yourself. If you create a Pluss.es blog, make sure you share the link in your social media bios so people can find it.
  • Pluss.es only updates once a day so, unfortunately you canโ€™t pin immediately but the day after you post you can go to your Pluss.es page, click on the red title of your post and pin away!

10. Follow theย Pinterest blogย .

11. My friendย Kelly Liebermanย isย theย expert on Pinterest. Follow Kelly and join herย #PinChat communityย and you wonโ€™t miss a thing.

12. Put the Pinvolve Tab on your Facebook pages when your fans click on the Pinvolve tab, it transforms the Facebook page.
