Reading notes

#

• Pinterest can be useful for bloggers and businesses, not only for recipe, DIY, or fashion content.
• A business account gives access to analytics after website verification and allows applications for Rich Pins.
• Article pins can promote blog posts with a logo, larger headline, and a link back to the site.
• Pin descriptions should be helpful, detailed, interesting, and actionable, with concise SEO-friendly keywords.
• The post recommends pinning at times when the audience is active and being consistent without over-pinning.
• Pinterest favors vertical images, especially with a 2:3 or 4:5 ratio, and images should be high quality, simple, and visually strong.
• Adding text to images can make pins clearer and more clickable.
• Group boards can expand reach, and the post suggests finding them, joining them, or creating them.
• Social Warfare Pro can help by adding Pinterest buttons, hover Save buttons, and post-specific Pinterest images and descriptions.
