Introduction Pinterest is one of the most popular websites in the world, receiving a massive number of visitors each and every day. Its fans are die-hard, and they spend a great deal of time pinning new items, organizing their boards, and looking through new content. Not only that, but Pinterest has been proven to be one of the highest converting websites in the world as far as converting views into buyers.

Some marketers mistakenly believe Pinterest is mostly women, but the fact is men make up a large chunk of its users, and they are just as voracious in their consumption of content as female users. The site has a good mix of every age range, too. Chances are, your demographic is represented on the site, no matter what your niche is.

The trouble is, most people don’t know how to use the site correctly in order to get traffic. They don’t know how to properly optimize their profile, get followers, or get people to view and re-pin their content.

In this guide, you’re going to learn the ins and outs of using Pinterest correctly, and how you can make the most of it in order to get the most possible traffic—and hopefully sales, too.

Let’s get started.

Pinterest like Silbermann of like a virtual corkboard. probablyaseen these So what isdoes mean when heYou’ve calls Pinterest ‘catalogue of ideas’?

Essentially, he is referring to the way that Pinterest operates.

The nearest thing you can compare Pinterest too is a ‘mood board’. A mood board meanwhile is essentially a collage created out of images you’ve found, all revolving around a single theme that you can use for inspiration.

Say you were going to create a website then – something you may be familiar with as an online marketer – you could create a mood board in order to collect all of your inspiration in a single place. This might mean that you create a board where you collect images of other websites in your niche, of logos, of wireframes and of images relevant to your industry.

By putting all these images in one place, you can then get an idea for an overall ‘visual direction’ that you want to go in, and this would make it much easier to decide how you’re going to proceed with your design.

Pinterest not only allows you to create your own boards, but also to browse through the boards of others. This way, you can find inspiration from other users and then add what you find most useful to your own board so that it’s all collected in one place.

Pin Like Crazy

in schools or offices, or you may even have on of your own. If you haven’t, they’re typically framed squares of cork that you can use push pins or thumbtacks to affix things like notes and pictures to in order to plan things or remind yourself of things.

Pinterest works the same way. You create “boards”, which are basically like folders on a computer, and then you “pin” pictures or videos (which can link to other websites) to those boards.

For example, you might create a board called “Recipes” to which you might pin pictures of various dishes you’d like to try the recipes to.

Then as you browse through your board, you can see all of those pictures at a glance, which can help you decide quickly which one you’d like to try at a given moment.

Think of Pinterest sort of like a visual bookmarking system. Ever tried to wade through hundreds or even thousands of bookmarks with nothing to go on but the page titles? It’s brutal. Pinterest makes it easier, because your bookmarks have photos representing them!

It’s pure genius when you think about it, and users love it!

Getting Started on Pinterest Pinterest can be a little tricky for beginners. It’s actually very easy to use as far as basic functions, but from a marketing standpoint, most people don’t get it right.

In order to attract followers and not scare people away, it’s critical to set your profile up correctly. If you don’t get this right, you’re going to have a hard time attracting followers who aren’t spammers.

Profile Setup Here’s what you need for a proper profile:

 Profile Picture – This should be either a picture of yourself, or the logo of your business.

 Name – Your name should not sound like a spammer. It should either be your real name, pen name, or business/website name, with a few keywords included. Keywords in your name help people find you on Pinterest when they’re looking for people to Pin Like Crazy

follow! You could use something like: John Doe – Food Blogger at FoodBlogSite.com Recipe Website

 Verified Website – If you’re running a website or blog, be sure to

verify your website with Pinterest. This will help you set up Rich Pins (very important for maximizing traffic). This will give you a verified icon, and will help your image considerably.

 About Me – This section is a good place to include a few keywords, but be sure it makes sense. It appears on your profile, and some people will use it to decide whether or not to follow you.

As you create your profile, you must keep the two basic principles in mind. First, are you using keywords in each profile section? Keywords are critical. Second, would you personally follow your profile? If not, fix whatever you think might make you avoid your profile.

Always try to appear as if you’re either a normal Pinterest user or a business. (Yes, people WILL follow bloggers, companies, etc.) If a user even detects a hint of potential spammer, they won’t follow you.

First Boards & Steps Once you have your profile set up, it’s important to create a few boards that you can use to attract followers. It’s extremely important to set up these first few boards correctly if you want to get a lot of followers Pin Like Crazy

Special Offer

quickly, because these boards will represent you to potential followers, and some key algorithms kick in based on these boards.

Here are some tips for creating your first boards:

 Cover Photo – Always set each board’s cover picture to the most

attractive picture you have pinned in that board. Pinterest will automatically set the cover photo to the first one you pin, but you can change it by visiting the board, clicking “Edit Board” and then clicking the “Change” button beside Cover. Then use the arrows to navigate until you find the one you want to use.

 Board Keywords – Be sure you use keywords in your board

names, because this is one of the most powerful ways you can be found on Pinterest. Some people never follow entire profiles, only individual boards, so you want those boards to be easy to find! If you want to figure out what to name your board, just plug your main concept into Pinterest’s search to see what comes up. For example, if you’re creating a board with articles about blogging, put “blogging” into the search. This will come up with terms like “blogging for beginners” and “blogging tips”.

 Killer Content – Your first boards should pin only the most

interesting, re-pinnable content, because the Pinterest algorithm will present your profile to more people based on how many of your pins get re-pinned by other users. If you pin a whole bunch of content without taking into account how many people might re-pin it, you’re shooting yourself in the foot! Be sure you check each thing you pin initially to see how many users have already re-pinned it. This is a good indicator of whether they will re-pin it when you post it.

 Check Before Pinning – Always check links before pinning Pin Like Crazy

content, as spammers will often take a popular image and change the URL to point to a spam page. If you pin this, not only are you going to alienate potential followers, but you’ll risk your account being associated with spam. Just click the picture to visit the link before you pin the image to be sure it leads to the right destination  Pin Others’ Content – Do NOT just pin your own content and nothing else. This will frustrate people and you’ll find it very difficult to get followers. They’ll think you’re a spammer. Instead, post about 10% to 20% your own content, and the rest should be other people’s content. Just keep in mind that your own content may not be re-pinned as often, so you might want to stick solely to other people’s content in the beginning.

So now you know what Pinterest is and how it is primarily used, the next question is how this can relate to businesses and how companies and marketers can use it to promote themselves.

The basic concept then is that, as a business, you are going to provide those ideas or sources of inspiration to your followers so that they can add them to their own boards. In turn, this will then encourage engagement from those followers and it will help them to see how they can use your products, services or information in an effective manner.

An obvious example of this might be if you were a company that provided catering, dresses, flowers or anything else for weddings. In this case, you Pin Like Crazy

Special Offer

could fill your own boards with images of your work and users would then be able to take what you added and place it on their own boards. This would then encourage more and more people to find your brand and thereby help you to get more exposure. And if someone really likes the work you’ve done, they might click through to find their way to your brand and perhaps make a purchase.

Fortunately, Pinterest adds a ton of features and tools that you can use in order to accomplish this end even more easily and effectively…

The first thing you will need to do as a business if you want to get the most from Pinterest, is to open up a business account. This is essentially just like a personal account, except of course it is aimed at companies and has some features that lend themselves more to marketing and promotion.



Pinterest itself highly recommends that any users who will be

conducting marketing activities switch to a business account: “If you’re using Pinterest as part of how you make a living, whether by driving traffic to a blog that makes you some money or to build your personal brand to find customers for your products or services, you should sign up for a business account and agree to our Business Terms of Service.”

Once you have joined up for a business account, you will then be able to have your business or website name as your account name (rather than your

Pin Like Crazy

real name). More interesting still is that you will be able to verify your website, which means you will be able to see when people are sharing your content on Pinterest. This is very useful as it allows you to see which of your content is performing best and getting the most engagement and shares. 

Another advantage is that verifying your website allows you to

add your URL to the top of your profile. This makes it much easier for people who discover you on Pinterest to follow through to your website. That in turn creates a new ‘in-road’ for traffic to discover your website, which is one of the big advantages of using any form of social media marketing.

Finally, business accounts also give you the right to run contests through Pinterest, which can be a great tool for promoting your company. 

To set up your business account, all you need to do is visit

https://business.pinterest.com From here, you’ll then either be able to convert your existing account by clicking ‘Convert Now’ or sign up as a business by clicking ‘Join as a Business’.

Way, it either takes a couple of seconds or is completely free.

One of the best features of Pinterest by far for businesses – and something Pin Like Crazy

Special Offer

that other social media sites simply can’t compete with – is the option to create ‘promoted pins’. These are exactly what they sound like – pins that users can click through and buy.

This means that your mood board essentially becomes and eCommerce site.

People can visit the page, see the images you have collected and then literally just click to buy through their tablet or phone on the move. This lets you immediately close the gap between desire and action and neatly ties together your marketing strategy.

Another useful type of pin that will apply especially for bloggers and general marketers/affiliate marketers, are ‘rich pins’.

Rich pins are essentially pins that you can use to promote an article, a video or any other kind of media.

A rich pin can represent an app, a movie, a recipe, an article, a product or a place. Essentially, what it allows you to do is to show an image alongside some other information. This way, when you pin an image from your website, it will show alongside some description of the article it came from so that people are more likely to be inspired to follow the link and look at your site/engage with your brand.

Once you have used the ‘validator’, you will then just need to add some meta information to your website and Pinterest will add that automatically. Better yet, this information will also be added when someone else shares your content from your site.

If you don’t have buyable pins, then the very next best thing you can do is to use a rich pin for products and that way you can show the amount of stock you have, alongside the price.

The next challenge then is to make people actually want to follow you and want to engage with you. 

So how do you accomplish this?

The secret is to remember the basic objective of Pinterest and what users are looking for here. Generally, the answer is that people are looking for inspiration and for ideas. People come to Pinterest to browse images that they can use to get ideas for their own projects, or to feel inspired and moved.

At the crux of any business activity is the need to provide value.

If you provide value, then people will have a reason to follow you, to pay for your products and to keep coming back. This is no different when you’re on Pin Like Crazy

Special Offer

Pinterest. Here, your objective is to provide value again only this time the way you do that is by providing ideas. 

The next question then, is how do you inspire an audience?

To do this, you need to think about the value proposition of your business, the mission statement and the lifestyle.

A value proposition for a business essentially refers to the way that its products and services make life easier or better for the end user. In other words, it means realizing that your products and services are more than the sum of their parts. It’s about why your users buy the things you make. 

Someone does not buy a hat – they buy a warm head. Likewise,

they do not buy a computer – they buy a tool for creativity, for media consumption and for accessing information. People do not buy fitness books, they buy amazing abs and the opportunity to look and feel great about themselves.

Likewise, your images should not just show off your products then, but the lifestyle around them. People need to see how your items can change their lives and make them happier, healthier, fitter, more successful or more attractive. They need to feel good simply by looking at your Pinterest account and then they need to associate that feeling with the products you are selling and with your brand.

Pin Like Crazy

Therefore, if you are in the fitness industry, your images should be inspiring and they should display the lifestyle and the mission statement you’re attempting to promote. That means you should feature images of people running on the beach with great tans and great abs. It means you should show people in the gym with their hands chalked up about to break their personal best. It means you should show people drinking smoothies with great complexions. That is the lifestyle people will want and it will encourage them to keep following you. 

If you are selling books on making money or products for

businesses meanwhile, then your imagery might revolve around success and corporations. Thus, your images might be of offices, of people standing at the top of high-rise businesses, of people in smart suits etc. 

If you are in the wedding industry on the other hand, your boards

should be filled with people looking beautiful and happy in stunning venues. You want to help them picture that perfect, magical day that they have dreamed of and to feel like it is a possibility just by following you.

It’s a good idea to pin content at different times throughout the day Pin Like Crazy

since you may be attracting people from all over the world in different time zones. You probably want to pin most of your content between about four and ten in the evening (Eastern Time) since that seems to be when the largest number of users is active, but pin a few things at odd times to grab the attention of users around the globe.

Optimizing Pins Simply pinning content isn’t enough to be truly successful on Pinterest.

It’s also important to be sure you’re optimizing all of the content you pin for the Pinterest search engine to make it easy to find.

4.When you re-pin someone else’s pin, make sure there is a description attached. If not, write one. If there is one, optimize it with more words and add hashtags

Images A lot of users make the mistake of choosing a random image for their pin, but this is a huge mistake. The image is the most important element of a pin, because it is ultimately what will make people pay attention to the pin, click it, and perhaps re-pin it.

Be sure you select the very best image to represent your pin.

Description The second huge mistake people make when they pin content is leaving Pin Like Crazy

the description blank or adding only a small bit of text, such as “pizza recipe”. You should always include a good, keyword rich description that will help users find your pin and also encourage them to visit it.

Be sure to include your main keyword first, as keywords that appear early are given the most weight.

Here’s an example: Pizza Recipe – The world’s best pizza recipe, including homemade pizza crust, homemade pizza sauce, and complete how-to instructions with pictures!

Hash Tags Hash tags, for those who aren’t savvy with social media, are those keywords you see with the # sign in front of them. They look like this: #pizza #food #recipe They can be used on Pinterest, but because their algorithm doesn’t really recognize them the way many other social sites do, they aren’t particularly useful. You may see some users putting hash tags in their descriptions, but they aren’t necessary and may actually make it harder for people to find your pins.

The only time you might want to use a hash tag in a pin description is if Pin Like Crazy

Special Offer

you’re using a very popular, trending hash tag that you think people might be searching for. Otherwise, just use the keyword without the hash tag.

Gaining Followers Everyone wants to know how to get more followers on Pinterest, and it’s certainly no easy task. There’s no way, short of a getting-struck-by-lightning type miracle, to get thousands of followers overnight, but you can certainly accomplish this within a few weeks.

The first thing you should do, of course, is follow the instructions for setting up your profile and creating a few boards. Add a handful of very interesting pins to each board so people can quickly see the type of content you’ll be pinning and that you aren’t a spammer.

Once your profile is complete and you have some interesting boards set up, start finding some key people in the same niche as you and adding them. All you have to do is follow them. Just be sure to check out their profile carefully to be sure they aren’t a spammer. If you follow a number of spammers, you’ll find it very hard to get followers or be allowed on group boards (which we will discuss later).

Pinterest will only allow you to follow a certain number of people each day. It’s a good idea to add about twenty people at a time, waiting a few hours between each batch so you don’t trigger a warning. You won’t get banned or anything, but you’ll be barred from adding more people for a while.

The easiest way to find people to follow is by searching for your keyword on Pinterest and hit the enter key. Then click the “Pinners” Pin Like Crazy

tab.

This will give you a list of pinners that Pinterest believes are most closely related to the keyword you entered. You can start following a few at a time. Some of them will follow you back, but it isn’t terribly important to be sure all of them do.

The real power comes from their followers finding you in their list of followers. For this reason, it’s a great idea to be sure you’re also following all the most popular and powerful brands in your niche. For example, if you’re an internet marketing blogger, be sure you follow all the top internet marketers, because anyone who is searching for people to follow and looks at their list of followers will find you.

Another trick is to go through your list every few weeks and un-follow and re-follow those power users. Why? Because it keeps you at the top of the list of their followers, ensuring more new users find you all the time!

Whenever you get new followers, simply follow them back. That’s a quick and easy way to get your profile in front of as many potential followers as usual. But be careful! A lot of people who follow you will be spammers, and you never want to follow spammers!

Image Size Taller images always perform better on Pinterest than wider images, because taller images take up a lot more page real estate than wide images.

The ideal image size for Pinterest as of the time of this writing is 735x1102. That is 735 pixels wide and 1102 pixels tall.

Guest Boards Guest boards are an extremely powerful way to expand your reach on Pinterest, and you should get yourself invited to as many quality boards in your niche as you can.
