I have never really used Pinterest, so this video was very helpful. The most confusing thing was the boards, but I realized that it's like someone's organized 'files,' almost and one of the goals is that my pins get saved
Thank you SO much for this video! I've noticed that a lot of other creators on here tend to be a bit jarring in their delivery (i.e., loud voice, overwhelming visuals, aggressive verbiage) and I truly appreciate how approachable you made this. I also love your metaphors, it really helped me understand the differences between Pinterest and Instagram.
I created a Pinterest for the 1st time a few months ago. I don’t feel like spending time on there to curate my feed but I wanted to download a bunch of pretty images.
I'm new to pinterest, this was insanely helpful. Thank you so much for putting this together, the analogies and the differentiation of IG were super helfpul.
I'm a social media luddite. I tried Twitter and then realized I don't care to post images of a sandwich and the important things in my life are too personal and/or private to share with a wilderness of strangers. Thank you so much for this breakdown. For an INTJ who's trying to get into POD (and begrudgingly into social media), this is very helpful. I'm about to binge on all your video posts. Cheers!
You are a great teacher, i bought a blogging and Pinterest course back in 2021, i wanted to start a blog but I never completed the course because I was struggling to build the blog site 😢
Thank you for a concise, relevant video that gives me a clear picture of what I have and have not been doing correctly when marketing my business on Pinterest.
Great intro to the marketing possibilities and how it's different from Meta, thank you! Although the description of a board as a bucket rather than just a pinboard was a bit funny 😄
This was helpful, wish it was longer. I don't get Pinterest at all but this is the only vid that helped sort of. It sounds like Pinterest is more for pins that help someone somehow as opposed to selling items unless the item has a specific purpose. Interesting TY ❤
This was such a helpful video! However, I'm wondering if we create the business account with our business name or personal name? I have my personal Pinterest account that I've had for years, should I simply use that account? Also, does our personal account come into play at all when we start a business account? Thank you! ❤
I suggest using a name that most people would recognize. For example, I use Simple Pin Media for my business account but I have Kate Ahl for my personal. Personal account does not come into play.
If we start a brand new business account vs. using a current business account, will Pinterest be more likely to push out our pins since the new account is fresh and more "active"?
I don't have a lot of data or case studies to know if that would be true or not. I have only heard that those who have been marked as spam or caught in a spam filter find it advantageous to start a new account in order to get distribution. It would also depend on how your account is doing. Some take a while to take off while others are older. If you have had an account for a while and are trying to get back to pre-2021 traffic it might not happen with this change. Hope this helps.
This is insightful. so for make up inspo if you link it to the make-up tutorial to achieve the look, does it need to be a blog post or a video on Tiktok/UA-cam?
@@SimplePinMedia im still lost. was asking if it needs to be a link to the makeup tutorial if my page is just for inspo for now. do i need to create a blog or youtube? can you please advise
04:00 Have I already _'used'_ a picture by pinning it on Pinterest? And - if so: Could that be a copyright violation _(since I have no clue what license it is)_ ?
Are you asking if you can use the same image for different Pins? Yes, you can. I would just try to change it up so that they look pretty different from each other. You should always use approved stock images.
Hey there can i know one thing? If i have not synced my contacts on pinterest,can people on my contact list still see it's me!? If they do how does it appear just as someone they might know or does it allow to see my real name they saved on their phone? Pls appreciate a lot if u can ans this✨
Fab video, thanks - please can you point me to the link for setting up business profile - is it the Making Money on Pintrest with Kathy Grazer? I feel like I'm going down another rabbit hole ?!
You mean another video? Or a guide we offer? You can start with our free email series that walks you through these foundational steps. simplepinmedia.com/start
It's a lot harder but Pinterest has set up some integrations with Instagram to help those who don't have a website. Do you have an instagram account you would send them to?
Yo! UA-cam, I do not give a [edited] about Pinterest . Why did you even show this to me? I'm sure this lady is very nice but the subject matter is 100% useless to me. I've never given you a reason to think otherwise.
No wonder I love Pinterest way more than Instagram. I’d rather at the library than the bar any day of the week 😊
Right?! LOL
Me too!!
Hi! I’m now doing analysis between PINTEREST and other social media platforms. Do you think Pinterest is better, and in which ways ?
You explained Pinterest so well! Love the library/bar analogy.
Thank you! It was an "ah-ha" moment when I came up with that analogy.
As soon as she made that point, I was hooked.
I have never really used Pinterest, so this video was very helpful. The most confusing thing was the boards, but I realized that it's like someone's organized 'files,' almost and one of the goals is that my pins get saved
It can be super confusing to understand boards. Hopefully your pins will start to get saved more!
you are an incredible teacher and presenter! great, simple, understandable explanations. thank you!
Thank you so much! That means a lot!

I'm happy you enjoyed it! I'm all about making things as easy to understand as possible. 😊
LOVE the analogy of the library and the club. Finally feel I understand Pinterest after this video, Thank you!
YAY! That was our goal! Thank you for sharing
I like the library. It is more my style. Thank you for this informative video.
You bet!
I created a Pinterest for the 1st time a few months ago. I don’t feel like spending time on there to curate my feed but I wanted to download a bunch of pretty images.
I love how you explain the differnce.. love it! Pinterest is the library and Instagram is the engagement

An excellent and informative video - the Library analogy works so well for Pinterest. Thank you. 👍😊
Thank you!
Great video Kate. Truly a 101 breakdown for those of us who feel a little like a pin lost in a haystack.
Thank you!
SO helpful. Thank you. Finally I understand!
Wow! This is very informative.. heading to follow you.

Idk how i came across this video but I'm happy that i did😅
I'm happy you did too :) Welcome.
Kate, thanks a lot for a great crash course!
Thanks so much!
Thanks for this very clear explainer. I now know much more than zero, which is where I started! :)
Great!

Awesome video on starting out on Pinterest.👍
So glad you found it helpful!
Oops. I included my website in my pins, but didn't bother posting a working link. I'll start doing that now thanks :)
It seems simple but every time I go throught the process things don't work out. So I'll bow out and maybe try another day.
Let me know when you try. Happy to help.

I have not synced my contacts before so I can't speak to how this works.
This was good !!!! Thank you
@@TheBoldandUnbothered.podcast you’re welcome!
This is awesome please please tell me how to tag with a hashtag in my descriptions so I can get sites to see my content thanks so much
We don't recommend hashtags on Pinterest. They just aren't used on the platform.
When we promote a pin, where do we go to see the details of the billing info?
Inside the Ads dashboard in your Pinterest account.

How do I put a link on pinterest pins to my books forsale on amazon?
This one should help ua-cam.com/video/A0H81QvJ0rg/v-deo.html
So if you don't have a website it won't work?
It's a lot harder but Pinterest has set up some integrations with Instagram to help those who don't have a website. Do you have an instagram account you would send them to?
No demo?
What type of demo would you like?
Do people in Australia use pinterest?
They do! It seems to be on the rise right now too! I spoke to an eCommerce group there a few years ago.
Lmaooo i had my account for years now 😂 i just post pictures on there's
I like Pinterest and I don’t have a problem with it at all.
Totally! Us either!
excellent
