Make sure you feature your business name on your profile for maximum

exposure. Use your business name as your username, or change your

profile name to your business name after your profile is set up.

Remember – when you follow, comment, or repin – your name and link

to your profile. Be interesting….

Use your keywords

to name your

boards, pins, and

all materials that go

into your pins.

You can pin

pictures, videos,

recipes, product

shots – but without

a link someone can

not follow it back

and it is a dead pin.

Advanced Tips

* Tag other Pinterest users in your pins by using “@username” in your descriptions. * Non-commerical comments on others posts (esp if they have lots of comments already) because your comment is linked. * Make your life easier with a PIN IT button. *Put a PINTEREST feed on your website, social media, and newsletters. *Limit your time on Pinterest. *Create seasonal or holiday boards (special niches or interests) early to allow follow time. *If you are retail – add pricing and how items can be bought. Might get featured in the Pinterest gift shop.
