- People pin more during October and January! You will see a dip in your Pinterest views in the spring and summer months when people are not normally indoors as much.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Pinterest does like for you to use hashtags that have important keywords! Only 2 or 3 will do. No need for 30 like on Instagram.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Pinterest wants you to pin about 15-20 pins a day. This is very time consuming – unless you use an amazing app like Tailwind!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Using keywords is so important, and Pinterest basically gives you hints on which keywords you should be using.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- DO NOT USE cute board names. ‘Yum' is not a good board title. Instead go for ‘Dinner Recipes'. Or instead of ‘Gorgeousness' try ‘Photoshoot ideas'.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Switch to a business account if you haven't already! There are analytics and other free tools available for you!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Use more videos and GIFs and movement on your pins, and in your header image. Canva<\/a> is a great tool to help you do that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Claim your website! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It is important to claim your website! This will help you to create rich pins. You will know if your website is claimed, because you will see a little icon with a checkmark under your profile name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
