How to create a Pinterest Business account

As of today, there is no possibility of creating a business account directly through the app. You have to do it on the Pinterest website.

To create a brand new business account: 1.Visit Pinterest for business.

2.Fill in the asked details, including who will manage the page.

3.Read the Business Terms of Service, accept, and click “Create Account” To convert your personal account to a business account: If you have already created a regular account but want to convert it to a business account, you can do so very easily.

1.Go to the “Convert to business account” page on Pinterest’s website.

2.Fill in your business name and website (optional).

3.Click “convert“ (Glossary) Pin A pin is a visual bookmark that redirects you to another website if you click on it, often the original source.

Repin/Re-pin When you save a pin that has been posted by someone else, to your board, it is called repinning. Repinning is also known as re-pinning and saving. Re-Pinning is the new re-tweet. Pinterest may not be the newest social site but it is quickly taking over the old favorites and research has uncovered that Pinterest drives more traffic than Twitter.

Board A board is a place where you save related pins. You can create how many boards as you want, and normally, you add pins that have something in common on the same boards and name them to separate them better. Boards are like folders that let you keep your pins organized on the platform.

Pinner Pinterest’s users are often referred to as pinners.

Follower When you find a pinner who shares appealing content, you can follow that user.

Now, when that individual adds a new pin, it will appear on your homepage.

Source link A source link is the website URL that a shared pin links to.

Likes Similar to most social platforms. Like a pin to show your support, and that you endorse it. A bonus of the like feature on Pinterest is that you can like a pin and then later look at it without sharing it on your profile.

Creating a board Before you start creating pins or repinning, you need somewhere to put them.

Therefore, before you begin pinning, you need to create one (or more) boards.

To create a board, open up your profile and tap on the plus symbol (+). Give the board a name, and choose if you want the board to be secret or public. Once you

are done, click “Create“.

If you want to edit your board later go to the board you created and tap the pen icon in the top left corner. Here you can name your board, add a description, add a topic, invite collaborators that can contribute to the board, add more people, and delete your board.

Every board you create should have a distinct theme. As you start creating more boards, you need to take a moment to think about what topics resonate well with your brand, what topics speak your brand language – and reflect your personality.

Creating your first pin Now that you have created a board, you are ready to start creating your first pin.

There’s a difference in your original pin, and repinning or liking others’ content.

You can share a pin using different methods.

If you are visiting a website, you can share a pin of the images that are on that website – if the website has integrated share buttons.

If so, tap on the Pinterest icon and share your pin.

If you want to create a pin directly from the app, you can do so. Go to your profile, and tap the “+” located at the top of the screen to the right. Choose Pin from “Photo” or “Web“.

By choosing “Photo,” you can share photos from your photo library – or take a photo right on the spot.

By choosing “Web,” you are opted to write in a website URL and then redirected to that website. Once you are there, you can look around until you find an image worth pinning. To pin an image you see, tap on it, and you’ll be presented with options to share it.

However, one of the simplest methods is to install the Pin It button directly from Pinterest. Once installed, this button will appear on your browser bar. When you find an image online that you like, press the pin button, and Pinterest will ask you to confirm which image you would like to select for pinning. By pinning with the button, there is no need to attribute the image as Pinterest will link it back to its original location. Simply add your new pin to the most relevant board and add a caption to ensure it is sufficiently optimized.
