19 Ways to Market Your Business on Pinterest – for intermediate pinners



This is part of the Marketing your business on Pinterest series


1.      Search for new images to pin/trends using Pinterest’s search function. The search bar is in the top left of every Pinterest page.

2.      Use keywords in descriptions of pins, so pinners can find your images and boards easily when they do their own searches.

3.      Make sure you’ve got a Pin It! button added to your blog posts so your readers can quickly and easily share your content on Pinterest.

4.      Did you know that your Pinterest page has its own RSS feed! You can find your Pinterest feed by clicking on the RSS symbol under your profile photo, then use it anywhere you can normally use a feed (Facebook, LinkedIn, for syndication on other sites, etc.) Advertise your Pinterest feed to your readers and ask them to add you to their RSS feedreaders.

5.      Feature your recent pins in a widget on sidebar by using a Pinterest widget.

6.      The more the merrier, you can add contributors to any of your boards. Use this feature to engage your network and let them contribute to your Pinterest presence by using adding to your boards.

7.      Want to find out who’s been pinning your stuff? Go to: the analytics page Look at your site’s page often to discover which posts and images are popular with Pinterest users. Use that information to shape your content strategy.

8.      Add prices to your pins to create your own Pinterest shop.  Add a $ or £ symbol to a pin followed by item’s price in the pin’s description. When you add prices to your pins, they may be featured in Pinterest’s “Gifts” section.

9.      Create a board that tells the story of your blog and your core values.

10.  Consider creating “thank you” boards for current or past clients that send special messages.

11.  Pin tutorials on your boards. Pin your images, videos and presentations on special “How-To” or “Tutorial” boards. Anything you teach your clients can be made into a tutorial.

12.  Lookout for trends. Click on the “Popular” link on your Pinterest home page to catch the latest that pinners are pinning, then integrate those trends into your content strategy.

13.  Be yourself. Pinterest is all about personal expression, so don’t be afraid to pin stuff that represents who you really are.

14.  Create a special board to highlight your company’s team members/ co-host or team members. Use the description under each photo to write a bio of each person.

15.  Show behind-the-scenes photos. People love knowing how you make things!

17.  Integrate your Pinterest account with Facebook’s timeline feature and your twitter feed, so you post content in both places at once.

18.  Highlight old content on your blog so that people can repin your archived posts. That way all you old posts get to see the light of day again.

19.  Have you been thinking about freshening up old photos, or going back through your blog archives and adding photos to those text-only posts? There’s no better time to do this. Remember — the prettier the picture, the more pins you will get.
