Hi y’all! Taylor here. In case you weren’t able to catch my Pinterest Rockstar session at #AWBU, you are in luck today!! I’m giving you access to my presentation and some notes to help you become a rockstar on Pinterest.First up….the link to my Pinterest Rockstar presentation. Okay, now let’s chat about Pinterest for a bit. The questions I was receiving during my presentation were great ones. The overwhelming theme, however, was this question…”How do I use Pinterest?” And when I say that, I mean that you are asking yourself that question.
This is a super important question to ask yourself because it will tell you how you need to proceed to becoming a Pinterest Rockstar. I use Pinterest to curate content. And by curate content, I mean curate ALL the content. Specifically, content that can fit into my pre-existing Pinterest boards. My method might not be your method. Let’s say you are building a brand based on a service. You might structure your pins towards that service. You might not curate all the content out on Pinterest. So figure out how to use Pinterest to best suit your brand. What I taught works for me and my brand. But gives you a great idea on how you can become a Rockstar for your own brand.
So what am I doing to gain followers? I am pinning every 10 minutes. And I use a service called Viral Tag to do this (something I pay for). I’m not going to get into the specifics of my Viral Tag account (that would be an entire post in and of itself! LOL) but it’s what I use to be able to pin that often. I also pin when I have free time. I work on pinning content to my own group boards to build them up!!
Group Boards…find them and get on them. Super important in order to get in front of new audiences. Most of the boards have the instructions on how to get on them (and the rules for the board…make sure you follow them!). If you don’t see instructions on how to be added, comment on one of the owners most recent pins requesting access. Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn’t.
