#3 Pinterest:
1. Tell your story – but it MUST have an image embedded & link back to your blog post.
Tips for Images: Use real photos, Use light & visually appealing colors, Keep pins under 5000 pixels high, Create a unique, attention grabbing title or headline, Use online photo editors like PicMonkey to create easy, professional badges
2. Get your timing right
You only have 20-30 minutes for a pin to go viral on Pinterest
Prime times are 8AM & 8PM (Watch for when your followers are pinning!)
Pinterest added an Analytics module – you must ?Switch to the New Look? & verify your website
3. Pin New Stuff
Be Original
Take chances
Be interesting
Pin daily
4. Don?t Pin your own stuff all the time
Limit pins linking to your own products or blog posts to no more than 1x week
5. Build your platform
Pin a little bit every day
Follow people
Cross-post your pins to Facebook & Twitter
Show your personality
7. Sponsor Contests
Ask your followers to create boards based on a theme you select
Keep it simple – 2 step process: Create a board & tell you about it
Spell out rules clearly on website & link to blog post on dedicated contest board
Open & close your contest on time
Make a really big deal of announcing the winner! Publish winner?s board on your blog, talk about it on Twitter, FB, & Pinterest
Don?t over do it on the contests! So much of a good thing.
