Hi creators!

My name is Laura, and I want to share a few useful Tips & Tricks with you that have helped me on my journey as a Pinterest Creator.

Whether you are a seasoned creator, or just getting into the magic of it all, some basic best practices remain true for everyone:

  • Utilize this community (The PBC) There are so many helpful resources here, including talented creators and experts in social media marketing. Take time to check in on daily posts, read reply’s, and don’t shy away from asking questions.
  • Connect! Be social! Take time to interact with others on Pinterest and here in the community.
  • Add a bio to your Pinterest profile and your profile here on the PBC. This makes it easy for others to see exactly who you are and why they should follow you.
  • Add your Pinterest link to your PBC profile. This is a quick way for users to find your Pinterest account and start interacting with your posts.
  • Be consistent with your pinning

    Consistency is key in growing any business, especially online. Your audience needs to know what to expect from you and when to expect it. Aim for posting niche specific content AT LEAST once a week to see growth.

  • Be mindful of margins. There’s nothing more frustrating than clicking on an enticing pin, only to have the caption or image cut off by the margins or overlay. Check before you post!                   

I hope these basic tips are helpful. Be sure to check out the attached Pinterest links AND LEAVE A COMMENT OR QUESTION BELOW

📌Happy Pinning!

@everydaylifewithlaura - great note about the social watermarks - I noticed my downloads from one platform started watermarking this week.

Thank you for sharing the tips for Idea Pins! Great to have a reminder, I'm always forgetting the differences between the two types of pins and best practices for each type. And I can tag products! I didn't notice that feature in the Pinterest app last time I made one. So many things to remember per each social platform, it's exhausting. Does someone have an Idea Pin for making Idea Pins? I'll be saving that one! 😄

@therecipepreserve  I totally agree! So much to keep up with for multiple platforms. 
I’m so glad you found this post helpful. Tagging products is a good way to put a buzz in the brands ear that you may be available to collaborate o. Pinterest with branded content too! If you don’t have that feature available yet, be on the lookout! 👀
