Hello everyone. How are you this week?

I’ve been updating my blog, now that I’ve finally worked out how to change my static and moving pages around! I’ve also been learning quite a lot about Pinterest in the last couple of weeks and I thought I’d share three quick tips with you. I’ve managed to triple my views in just over a week and from the people I’ve been talking to, there seems to be the opinion that Pinterest is a great way to get referrals back to your blog or website. Here is my Pinterest page, take a look so that you can see what I mean: Lizzie’s Pinterest page

1. Make sure your Pinterest information is up to date, with the same photos you are using across your other social media pages. For me that means my author photo appears on all of my networking pages, so that customers can instantly recognise it’s my page.
2. Make boards and make lots of them. To make a board you just go to the boards tab and click the + icon. Then upload your photos, or pin them from other sites to your board. Pin about 10-20 new pins a day between these boards to keep follower interest. These don’t have to be your own pins. Pinterest suggest pins for you once you make a board, so it’s easy to select some of those when you are starting out.
3. Make your own pins and send them straight to your Pinterest page via free sites like Canva. When you are making your own pins, go to the pins tab, click the + sign and upload your own photo, or Canva image. I always add my website address to my homemade pins, whatever the topic. The most important thing to do, is to add your website URL. This is in the box next to the tweet you have just made. Add a short description of your pin and ADD your website link in the URL box. This means that every time someone clicks on your new pin, they will automatically be taken to your blog/ book page, or website. The more interesting you make the pins, the more likely they are to be re-pinned. Each time your pins are re-pinned, your website is pinned with the image and will take their followers to your page if they click on the image. Try and keep your pins relative to your work theme.

My friend has 700 referrals to her website every week just from Pinterest and she only does the minimum to her Pinterest page. It’s definitely worth giving it a try!
