Here we go! The last page of this training. How we doing?
Okay, so getting straight to the point, in order to sustain your Pinterest growth you have to do one thing:
BE CONSISTENT
This means to keep updating, following, pinning, and the like DAILY.
Don't worry, you don't have to be too crazy with the amount you do each day, but being active consistently makes a huge difference.
I've done the research and found that if you don't update and communicate at least twice a week, you will notice a dip in your ratings. But the key is to keep working towards growth, because unlike Facebook (TRUST ME) your efforts will be rewarded!
This makes sense of course, but nonetheless should not be overlooked. If you pin, follow and comment consistently, YOU WILL KEEP GROWING!
The fast growth of Pinterest is truly something to behold, so just keep forging ahead, my friend :)
One more thing!
If you want to keep track of the growth of your blogging pins, you will need to "claim your website". This essentially means you're confirming to Pinterest that you in fact own the site that you're claiming to.
Here is a the HELP page. It will tell you all about how to do this :)

You don't need to claim your site in order to watch your account grow (because they have that all set up for you in Pinterest "analytics"), but it is still important to know how many people are clicking on your original content.
I hope this training was helpful to you!

Thank you for sharing your valuable information. I did learn a lot.

1. What is the significant of the 'Claim Website', why is that important and do I need to?
2. Business Type, what do I put or add from the drop down box?
3. Social Networks, am I using my Google+, Facebook or Gmail to login or do I leave that part alone?
4. Finally, what about Security, do I leave that blank as well or do I fumble around with it?
I would appreciate that when you respond, you answer all 4 questions.
Thank you Jess,

What kind of friend would I be if I didn't?
Anyways, here you go!
1. Claiming your website makes your business account feel more professional, and people who visit will be able to see your website's link on your account profile. Also, you'll be able to see how your original pins are performing. How many clicks they get, etc. It's always best to claim it when you get started.
2. I would select the category that's most closely related to your niche.
3. You can use this feature to log in with your other accounts, but it's by no means necessary. I'd recommend just making an original log in for your Pinterest account.
4. The security section is an option to let Google save or not save your password. This means you can choose whether or not to automatically log in or not. This is entirely up to you, but logging in each time is a great safety precaution.
Hope this answered your questions!
1. Adding an HTML tag
or am I
2. Uploading HTML file?
Also, about the business type; which category would I fall under?
In our WordPress sites, we have a widget section called "Custom HTML", and this widget allows you to post whatever HTML code you want. This little guy is going to prove very useful for your website in general too, so getting used to it will be helpful. Whenever you need to post some code on your site, use this widget. This way, you won't risk messing up your website's code.
2. You could fit under media, because gaming is a type of media. Although, this section may be referring to news companies. If you're not sure, you can choose "other". That's what I did.
Sorry for taking so long. I got preoccupied :p
{We couldn’t find the HTML meta tag or verification file on your site. Be sure to pa(te the HTML meta tag in the <head> section of your site's homepage, or upload the verification file to your site's root directory. Try again or get help).
I don't understand what went wrong, I did what you told me but I didn't know there was extra steps; can you help me decipher this?
It'll take me too long to explain, but here's a video tutorial that'll show you how to do it: Pinterest: Confirm Verify Your Website
Have a Blessed Day!
