Since everyone at WA is engaged in certain online "business".
Some of you have bigger, some small business and some have just begun. I will talk about opening a Business Pinterest Account.

What is the difference between personal and "business" Pinterest account?

The Pinterest Business Account offers specific business features like analytics, adding website domain and Pinterest ads. If you already have a personal Pinterest account open and you want to link it to your site, I advise you to convert it to your business account.

Creating a Business account:
  • Go to pinterest.com and create your biz's account (Join as a business).
  • Fill in the necessary information (email address, password, business name, and link to your website) and decide which category your business falls into.
  • Review the terms of service and privacy policy.
  • Click Create account.

It takes just a few minutes to complete.

If you have a private Pinterest account and it is relevant to the topics that you blog, you can easily convert to a business account and clean some irrelevant boards.

Just go to http://business.pinterest.com and click on the red "Convert your existing account" button.
Now you need to “Claim your website”.

Since it's a bit "techy", here I will just leave a link to Pinterest's Tutorial how to do it (do not worry, it's not too complicated):

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.
