Social media, building my profiles (in particular Pinterest)

I have been a busy beaver.

I have spent a lot of time over the past few weeks on my social media profiles including Pinterest. I finally got 1000 followers but was not happy because I did not get many viewers. None of my personal posts were repinned or shared.

I have therefor updated all my social media profiles and documented the actions I have been taking on my personal blog.

Basically, I have updated the banners, bios and added a website page for each profile and added it to the social media profile. The idea is that people will have easy access to more information than I can add in a limited bio.

My followers on Pinterest is up at the time of writing to over 2500 and my viewers over 20K. A huge jump. My personal blog is retrospective as I have been trying to write in bite-sized chunks instead of a novel sized blog.

The actions I have been taking have made a huge difference to my following and views on Pinterest, whilst I have simply maintained the other social media platforms. I will look at those later. At this point in time, I believe that Pinterest has the best chance of getting people to my blog as well as becoming a platform I can promote affiliate links to.

I have also spent some time going through my photos and editing them through the free version of Ribbet. I have also made infographics and photo collages through the free version of Canva. This has brightened up my social media profiles as well as my blog.

I made a folder on my desktop for each social media platform, so 5 of them. Then I copied each photo in my photo album, or edited them and then copied then pasted onto the desktop. I then placed one copy into each separate folder. Now I have one copy of each photo to use across the social media platforms. This way I shouldn't repeat post the same photos.

I had a trillion photos I had taken on a recent trip to Hong Kong. I put all of these into a series of photo collages. Then I copied and pasted each onto the desktop and put a copy in each social media desktop folder. I can now share some travel pics at various times, and have them all different.

I will do the same with all the photos I have of my travels across Australia and likewise will do some flower collages, animal collages and the like. 1% down 99% to go.

Within Pinterest I have updated my boards as shown on the header picture of this blogpost. For those boards that I pin other people's content to, I have used free photos from Canva so that I don't breach anyone's copywrite. I have added copies of these into my desktop social media folders so I can use them for future posts across all social media platforms.

It has been all about having enough content to continue to add to social media. My blog is fairly new and I am repeat sharing, but obviously have to go slow so that I don't spam.

I have been spending a little time each day on Pinterest reading other peoples pins and clicking through to websites. This has helped me be interactive on Pinterest so that whilst I am still researching I have been making big inroads into building my profiles activity levels.

I hope by sharing this information it may give WA members some tips to help build your own social media profiles. You can find my blog on the RHS under my profile details along with my social media profiles.

You will only find information on the blog posts. These posts are not full of advertising nor are there affiliate links telling you to buy books, courses or software.

cheers for now

Kerry Ann, thanks you so much for this, I am very much in the dark on social media, so I found this to be most useful.
