Creating your Pinterest presence

Now that you have an awareness of some of the teminology and you have completed your profile, you want to start creating a presence and pinning to your boards.

Ways to pin

There are a number of different ways in which you're able to pin to your boards including:

• Direct from pin it button on your website
• Direct from pin it button from Street Articles
• Upload an image from your computer
• Upload an image from the internet.
• Mobile telephone

Adding a pin

1. Click Add+ button at top right hand side of screen

2. Select 'Add a Pin' or 'Upload a Pin'.

If you're adding a pin, you are choosing an image from somewhere on the internet (including your website, from street articles, from an image directory ... etc)

If you upload a pin, you are choosing an image that is loaded directly from your computer files.

In the example below I have used upload an image from my computer

When the upload is complete you can choose which board to add it to (This may be the one of the ones you created at the beginning or you could choose a new one.

You also decide what you want to write in the box.

After you press pin it will appear on the board selected as shown below

However, this was still not complete. I wanted this image to be linked to my website and so I added a link to a specific article on confidence.

This pin now has a direct link to my coaching website.
