You can still create "Idea Pin" style video pins from the Pinterest app. Sure, the viewer can't click through hem (that function was removed a while ago), but it'll play just like Idea Pins.
Things were going really great on Pinterest for me until idea pins. Then I kinda abandoned Pinterest after they started pushing them. Thinking I’ll give it another go and see what happens this time. Do you know what they are favoring now? Fresh content? videos? 😅
Yes, come on back! Things are going back to the good old days of Pinterest. Fresh content and a variety of links always works best. Video pins are not necessary, but can be beneficial. Video is taking over every platform. Design multiple pins per link and schedule them out, making sure you've optimized for SEO.
So do you think that to post videos and images on Pinterest with this new update it is better to use the 1080x1920 aspect ratio for both video and images?
Thank you for the great video! No I understand. The only one question: do we see the statistics under each pin for the whole period of pin existence or for the last 30 days? Because before idea pin statistic was for the whole period, and pin's statistic only for the 30 days. What about now?
Hey! Depends on the pin. Idea pin stats are cumulative for the entire pins life, image and video pin stats are for the last 30 days. It says so right above the pin where the stats are "Lifetime of Pin" or "Last 30 days". I'm assuming once all accounts are updated, all stats will simply be for 30 days.
Hey Lizzie, accounts are being updated gradually, they don't push an update to every single account at the same time. They will be gone soon, keep checking.
Hi , luv your videos .. such a great tutor.. I have a question as a newbie to Pinterest. Every time i upload a video to Pinterest it uploads two of the same video i only posted once .so i go to delete one and it makes the other one blank and not watchable .. can you please help me with my issue as i cant seem to understand why its doing this
This is a Pinterest glitch, I would contact support and let them know. Or try uploading your pins another way, in a different browser or from a different device and see if it happens. You could also try a scheduler. Either way this is odd.
@@NadalieBardo hi , thank you for your reply, I have asked so many people online and no one bothered to reply. So thank you for your response, it's very kind of you .I have reported it to Pinterest 4 days ago but no response as of yet. I will try what you suggested. Just frustrating as I want to get the issue sorted as it doesn't look great having two of every video 🙄😂 . But thank you for your time
Thank you so much. My old business interest still has Idea Pins, but the new one I created now has them as paid ads and not organic search, and I was really confused and frustrated. And of course, I couldn't find a clear answer anywhere but here.
Let me clear this up for you, Idea Pins are now only available as ads. You cannot create them "for free" or as organic pins. Just images or videos. If you want to make idea pin style pins upload them from mobile (as you can upload multiple images or videos as one pin), or export it as a single video then upload it. And all your old idea pins are going forward video pins. I might make a video explaining the different types of pins.
Alguém pode me tirar uma dúvida? Os Idea Pins tinham um alcance muito maior que os Pins normais. Agora com essa atualização, o alcance de todas as postagens será reduzido como o de um pin normal? Para ter um alcance maior, a única opção agora é fazer anúncios pagos?
Your option is to create standard and video pins. If you want to increase your reach you have to target higher-volume keywords (aka figure out what your audience actually wants and create that content). I made a video all about this: th-cam.com/video/4-INCoAt3Kw/w-d-xo.html
But isn't it just really a matter of nomenclature? The process of creating a "video" pin has _exactly_ the same options, at least from what I'm seeing in the Android app.
Ugh, I'm so sorry I hate hearing this. But you're not the only one who has said so. What kind of content do you create? Let's brainstorm together ways to boost your traffic.
Hi Nadalie, I’ve just started my business account and am glad I don’t have to bother adding idea pins to the list of things I have to learn 😂 I was just wondering if you knew about rich pins? I’ve been trying to get them set up but could not get anyone’s link to work to the correct page (yours included!). I contacted Pinterest and it sounds like from their reply, rich pins are no more. Any ideas? Xx
Best news ever right? No more idea pins! I haven't made a video about this, but if you search in youTube I am sure a video will come up. You simply need to install and activate a social media sharing plugin or Yoast SEO that adds meta data to your content.
Do you think Pinterest's decision to no longer have a specific and catchy name for its video pins - like Reels or Shorts - means video hasn't been performing as well as they hoped on their platform?
Hey Paolo, oh for sure. Idea Pins were a HUGE misstep on their part. The fact they're "retiring" them is all the proof we need. Is it too late? Has the damage been done? Time will tell.
No reposting. All your existing idea pins will be converted into video pins. Down to the meta tags, Pinterest is recategorizing idea pins into video pins. Just going forward make video pins instead.
Hey! Choose a high-paying affiliate commission product, then create content promoting it. That could be a blog post and/or TH-cam video, or even a Video Pin showing off it's features or how to use it. Then push the product via that content. I made a video all about this: th-cam.com/video/JX7Xy0vu8oo/w-d-xo.html
Pinterest has changed it's mind about Idea Pins, they don't matter anymore, and they are no longer being favored by the algorithm. Best to focus on static pins or video pins from now on.
@@NadalieBardo I just signed up to pinterest and it seems like there is "Idea pins" button available. Or is it different kind of button that I am seeing?
@@ritsukohairsalon It's being phased out, don't waste your time learning how to create them. Your account will soon be updated and this button will be removed, as I've shown in this video. Read about it here from Pinterest: newsroom.pinterest.com/en/post/introducing-an-easier-way-to-create-and-inspire-on-pinterest
Thank you for stopping me wasting my time watching others talking about idea pins :)
I'm kind of bummed carousel pins are gone - I really grew to like them and finally nailed down a strategy.
Video just isn't the same.

thank you for telling this things as they are as companies dont really acknowledge when they make a mistake.
This is very helpful! Thanks so much for letting us know about this big change!
You are so welcome! Happy to keep ya'll up to date on all things Pinterest.

My videos won’t appear on pins just photos !? ive been trying for forever to upload vids but they don’t apear on vids just my photos!!
Wow this is so helpful! I will go through my idea pins and add the links!

Good I'm glad the Idea Pin is DEAD!..I hated to make them. They took forever and produced a ton of stress!!!!!
Woo hoo! It seems like most people agree. Image pins and even video pins are way less stressful than Idea Pins.
The idea pins had stats on them and now pins have no stats on them at all. I struggle to see how that’s an improvement.

Since Idea Pins are being phased out, can I (should I) repost those videos as video pins to see if I can get more traction on them?
