a social media site and a search engine pins on Pinterest can be made of static images of short
video clips or even a mixture of these different Content formats most of the pins are linked to
blog posts maybe e-commerce sites and they can Also be linked to instagram accounts or youtube
videos anything that you save on pinterest has A longer lifespan than content posted on other
social media platforms like instagram facebook or Twitter that's because of the search functionality
on pinterest users on pinterest can browse their Feed but they can also very often use pinterest as
a search engine and they can type in some keywords Which will help your content get found even
months or years after the date you posted it You can use pinterest for your personal boards
and the majority of pinterest users actually are Just collecting their favorite images or ideas so
that they can go back at any time and get a quick Access to the content that they liked but there is
also a big portion of pinterest users like me for Example who use the platform as content creators
and marketers we're creating boards strategically To share our content and get free traffic from

me show you how an established pinterest account Looks like on a desktop computer you see these
are all the boards that i have on my profile and They're all collections of pins based on the
common topic or focus keyword and here are a Couple of basic best practices on pinterest that
you need to know in regards to the size of pins First your content on pinterest will perform the
best if it's optimized for vertical viewing the Majority of pinterest users are on mobile apps so
horizontal and even square pins do not perform as Great as vertical pins second currently pinterest
recommends using pin size of at least 1000 by 1500 Pixels for image pins video pins ideally should
also be vertical but square videos of one-on-one Format also are accepted on pinterest now let's
take a look at how you will be creating a pin If you are on a mobile device so you have to be
logged in into your pinterest app and let me just
Show you here at the bottom of the screen over

to to select one of the parts of your video If it's a video pin it will ask you to select
the part of your video which you want to use as A cover image so you can just scroll left and
right i will just select this part for example And then i will click next here we need to define
the title description of the pin and then we'll Select also the board which we want to save it so
i'm i'm going to just type here a seo optimized Seo optimized title for my pin so here you go
we have now a title and a description that is a Little longer than the title then we'll click next

tips and pinterest strategy so the penis has been Created it's asking me now to just promote the pin
but i don't want to create a promoted pin right Now here you go now let's take a look at how it
looks on a desktop computer now we're on a desktop Computer and that's how your pinterest profile
might look like and to create a pin usually on the Left side corner if you look here you will have
an option to create a pin so when we're creating A regular pin it actually can be either an image
pin or a video pin so you can upload images and Videos here let's start with an image pin i have
created my pins in canva actually the tool that I mentioned in my previous pin so here i have
several pins and actually the last one will be Our video pin because it has some animation here
but let's say i want to use this one this version Of my pin it's num it's version number two when i
click download i will select only the second page And i will want to save it as a png format because
it's high quality image the size is 1000 by 2000 Pixels and i'm gonna download it to my computer
so i can then upload it to pinterest now i just Need to drag this pin from the folder where i
saved it the download and just upload it here The next step is to optimize your pin for keywords
you have 100 characters for the pin title you have Up to 500 characters for pin description and if
you want to understand exactly how to optimize Your pins i have another video on my channel
that's focused on pinterest seo tips and i'll Give you a link to it in the top right corner in
the info icon and also i'll give you a bunch of My videos in the description below this video for
anyone who is just a beginner and wants to learn All the basics of how to create pins and
promote on pinterest i can tell you honestly That the majority of the pins that i create for my
website i do it on the desktop just because it's So much easier to copy paste things to edit
the text and basically to optimize your pins Compared to when you do this on the phone
so now i copied the title of the article i
Also created a longer description for the pin i
copy pasted the url over here the destination link It goes to my website now i will select
the most relevant board on my account And i will just select the board and click
publish so here's how the pin we can see it Here is how this pin works you can go from
here from the pin directly to my website Now the pin is created but you still can do one
more thing not on all accounts this is going to Work because pinterest is constantly testing
different interfaces and so maybe on your Account or maybe on your uh when you're on desktop
you don't have it or maybe on mobile you don't Have it i didn't have this on mobile actually
when i created my pin you just saw it but on On the desktop i have tag products button and that
allows me to actually attach some of my other pins That are relevant related basically to this one
and to do this i will click on this icon plus I don't have product pins because i'm not an
e-commerce site so i will select all pins i will Search for something about blogging because that's
the way how i quit my day job so i think these are Related topics and i will select a bunch of pins
related to blogging that will help me get more Traffic and actually get some signups to my email
list now i just need to click save products then Click done and you will notice that under the pin
i now have all this other pins related to my main Quit the nine to five pin the next thing i want
to show you is how to save a video pin on desktop So i'll go back to canva and download page number
three because that was where i had this short Video pin i will click done it will download it
as an mp4 video file now the download was complete I'll just drag and drop the file here actually
if you want to know all the requirements to video Pins and actually to all the other types of pins i
will give you a link at the end of this video i'll Give you a link to my special checklist that gives
you the full guidelines for all formats of pins on Except accepted on pinterest right now once you
download it you will have right in front of you All the best practices and recommended dimensions
formats for different file types either it's a Video pin or it's a regular image pin or maybe
if it's a story pin you will have all the Recommendations right there and it will be easier
for you basically to create pins when you have These reminders in front in front of you so i
did the same thing for the video pin i created an Seo optimized title description i added the url
and you have here something that's called add tags It's not the same tag products thing that you
also have it right here add tags is a thing That helps pinterest understand how to categorize
your video pins this doesn't show up for regular Image pins um so but for video pins you can
add them so let's search for something about Quitting your job but funny enough i just typed
a jaw the word job and that's what i found Starting a new job it's actually a perfect
keyword here i also like the keyword career Um it's kind of related to this topic i couldn't
find anything more relevant so i'll just keep These two tags and i will select uh the most
relevant board and will save my pin out there
Now let's have a look at the pin um the difference
between a video pin and an image pin is that when You click on it it just will either play it
again or allows you to save it but you cannot Actually click to the site you can click on the
title or on this domain and to go to the article You can also tag products the same way as
for the image pins so i'm going to do that Another thing that we have here is create an
idea pin and it has this icon new next to it That means that not all the accounts will have it
i believe that this idea pin is actually the story Pins that's at least how it used to be called now
it's called idea pin so if i click create new it Allows me to basically upload here either videos
or images or a bunch of all of those things and i Recommend you to start with videos so if you're
creating an idea pin you can have several pages But i'm just gonna keep one because i want to
make this tutorial a little shorter you could Click here at a page and upload another something
either another video or another image but i'm Just going to go ahead and show you the rest of
it you will see here that you can add a title I will select the most relevant board you can
also select here some tags so let's search for job Starting a new job it's actually the same kind
of tags that we saw for the video opinions let Me just search for career career advice career
transition transition this add a list doesn't um Doesn't work really well for our
topic so i'm just gonna skip that So we have in the basics we have the tags and the
title and we selected the board and now i can just Click publish you may be noticed that for the idea
pins i didn't have to add any url and you're right That means that you're not sending any traffic
from this idea pins but the only reason why you Might want to create those is because i believe
that pinterest is pushing these new types of form Pin formats in their algorithm so it helps you get
more eyes on your profile and hopefully someone Will follow your account if they see this kind
of pins see at the end of the pin they can see Your profile name and hopefully this will attract
the right type of followers to your account so When you create the actual pins that drive your
traffic like image pins for example that's gonna Work better for you in terms of traffic and now
