Many of you, who read my post: 200K Monthly Viewers on Pinterest! https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/jelenabb/blog/200k-monthly-v...
asked questions about Pinterest and how Pinterest can help you bring visitors to your website.

Many of you have expressed a desire for basic training to explain how Pinterest works from the very beginning (for those who do not have an account or have, but they do not know what to do with it).

This training will have several parts because it is very widespread, and I will start with the most basic things.

If this part is known to you and you already have a Pinterest account, I still advise you to read it, because in April of this year (2018) Pinterest made some changes and it would be useful for you to get acquainted with them.

In this part of the training we will go through the following topics:

- What's Pinterest?
- What is Pinterest Profile and how make one?
- Set Up your Pinterest profile.
- What is Pinterest Boards and How to Create Them?
- How to Find and Apply for Group Boards?
- Let`s take action!

Hello Jelena,
I've enjoyed your training and it helped me to clarify some things. I've had a pinterest account with various boards already and been pinning daily but still struggle with keywords.
I also don't understand how I can find the group boards you are mentioning. When I put some word in the search bar on the top, what shows up are just pins of various people, but where can I find group boards?
Thanks
Lenka

Type the keyword in the search bar and then click on the right side of the bar, you will get the list with "Boards" at the end.

Also, don't stress too much about keywords, because literally every keyword on Pinterest has a lot of views. Just don't put too much on your pin. Try to find 5 - 6 that are related.

Are you saying we should put in 5-6 keywords in our descriptions? Don't we have to make a sentence out of it too? How can we do that with only being able to use 50 characters? Can you please give me an example?

Lynne, yes, you need to write a couple of sentencies about your pin and then add hashtags. You have 500 characters to do that, just remember that the first 50 characters will show up in feeds.

How many hashtags should we do?
Reply

@LynneClay
5-6 hashtags. I found one rule, and that is the length of the hashtags does not make be longer than the length of your pin description.

This is great information so thank you for creating this lesson! Do the graphics you create to make the pin visually appealing have to come from the exact blog post you are promoting?

To be honest, I did not understand your question very well. Can you please explain to me what exactly you mean?

After clicking "visit site" on a pin, the image that was pinned is on the blog. In other instances, it is not.

You can add any image directly to the Pinterest and add a link to whatever you want. Some people use Pinterest for affiliate marketing although they do not have their site. They set affiliate links directly to the pin.
I hope this is a good answer to your question. :)

Hi Jalena,
Great tutorial. Well I seems to be having a little problem pinning from pinterest lately.

Before, I can just pin from pinterest when it asked me which website I will be using. I would then pin the related image from my website and viola, done.

Now, when I do that I only get the same images and I can't pin my latest post, anymore. The only way I can pin it to pinterest now is to go directly into my post and share it from there.

I did however put up a landing page and put all my post in my blog tab. I noticed that it started with the issue after that. And, I like my website as is for now.

I even tried website name dot come/blog and nothing.

Is there something I'm not doing or is there even a fix?

Hi Kelyee,
I`m sure that problem is on the site, not on the Pinterest site. Did you change your social media widget?
One of the solutions can be to install Tailwind toolbar, so you can click from any page you are on and pin directly to Pinterest.
