Top 11 Pinterest Practices
- Optimize your reach by Pinning 10 or more times every day.
- Use between 200 and 300 characters to get Re-Pins.
- Add the “Pin It” code to your website to make all your photos easily Pinnable.
- Embed Pins or entire boards on your website to get more Re-Pins.
- Take advantage of the brand opportunities on Pinterest. Make sure you provide quality content, because Pinners prefer following a brand they trust over any individual.
- Don’t just Pin images– Pinterest is great for audio and video too.
- Pay attention to the characteristics of your images and make sure they’re ideal.
- Keep in mind that Pinterest users are relatively affluent– half of Pinners make at least $50K per year.
- Know your demographic– a majority of active daily Pinners are under 40 years of age.
- Make sure you reach out to millennials– reports show they’re using Pinterest as much as Instagram.
- Still, don’t overlook key parts of your demographic– the median age of a Pinterest user is 40, so a good chunk of your followers are older.
