I'm a social media luddite. I tried Twitter and then realized I don't care to post images of a sandwich and the important things in my life are too personal and/or private to share with a wilderness of strangers. Thank you so much for this breakdown. For an INTJ who's trying to get into POD (and begrudgingly into social media), this is very helpful. I'm about to binge on all your video posts. Cheers!
I'm new to pinterest, this was insanely helpful. Thank you so much for putting this together, the analogies and the differentiation of IG were super helfpul.
Thank you for a concise, relevant video that gives me a clear picture of what I have and have not been doing correctly when marketing my business on Pinterest.
This was such a helpful video! However, I'm wondering if we create the business account with our business name or personal name? I have my personal Pinterest account that I've had for years, should I simply use that account? Also, does our personal account come into play at all when we start a business account? Thank you! ❤
I suggest using a name that most people would recognize. For example, I use Simple Pin Media for my business account but I have Kate Ahl for my personal. Personal account does not come into play.
You are a great teacher, i bought a blogging and Pinterest course back in 2021, i wanted to start a blog but I never completed the course because I was struggling to build the blog site 😢
Hey there can i know one thing? If i have not synced my contacts on pinterest,can people on my contact list still see it's me!? If they do how does it appear just as someone they might know or does it allow to see my real name they saved on their phone? Pls appreciate a lot if u can ans this✨
Great intro to the marketing possibilities and how it's different from Meta, thank you! Although the description of a board as a bucket rather than just a pinboard was a bit funny 😄
This is insightful. so for make up inspo if you link it to the make-up tutorial to achieve the look, does it need to be a blog post or a video on Tiktok/TH-cam?
@@SimplePinMedia im still lost. was asking if it needs to be a link to the makeup tutorial if my page is just for inspo for now. do i need to create a blog or youtube? can you please advise
04:00 Have I already _'used'_ a picture by pinning it on Pinterest? And - if so: Could that be a copyright violation _(since I have no clue what license it is)_ ?
Are you asking if you can use the same image for different Pins? Yes, you can. I would just try to change it up so that they look pretty different from each other. You should always use approved stock images.
This was helpful, wish it was longer. I don't get Pinterest at all but this is the only vid that helped sort of. It sounds like Pinterest is more for pins that help someone somehow as opposed to selling items unless the item has a specific purpose. Interesting TY ❤
Fab video, thanks - please can you point me to the link for setting up business profile - is it the Making Money on Pintrest with Kathy Grazer? I feel like I'm going down another rabbit hole ?!

No wonder I love Pinterest way more than Instagram. I’d rather at the library than the bar any day of the week 😊
Right?! LOL
Me too!!
Hi! I’m now doing analysis between PINTEREST and other social media platforms. Do you think Pinterest is better, and in which ways ?
You explained Pinterest so well! Love the library/bar analogy.
Thank you! It was an "ah-ha" moment when I came up with that analogy.
you are an incredible teacher and presenter! great, simple, understandable explanations. thank you!
Thank you so much! That means a lot!

I have not synced my contacts before so I can't speak to how this works.
When we promote a pin, where do we go to see the details of the billing info?
Inside the Ads dashboard in your Pinterest account.
I always know when I see you've uploaded another video that I'm going to get great value! Thank you so much! So appreciate you! ✨💛
Awe, thanks! That's the best compliment. Thanks for trusting us with your Pinterest education
Great intro to the marketing possibilities and how it's different from Meta, thank you! Although the description of a board as a bucket rather than just a pinboard was a bit funny 😄
Oops. I included my website in my pins, but didn't bother posting a working link. I'll start doing that now thanks :)
SO helpful. Thank you. Finally I understand!

@@souadronin yes! Then it increases your chances of sales

Kate, thanks a lot for a great crash course!
Thanks so much!
Great analogies, thank you for this video!
Thanks!
This is so helpful, Thank you!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
An excellent and informative video - the Library analogy works so well for Pinterest. Thank you. 👍😊
Thank you!
This is awesome please please tell me how to tag with a hashtag in my descriptions so I can get sites to see my content thanks so much
We don't recommend hashtags on Pinterest. They just aren't used on the platform.
Wow! This is very informative.. heading to follow you.
Thank you!
Hello
04:00 Have I already _'used'_ a picture by pinning it on Pinterest? And - if so: Could that be a copyright violation _(since I have no clue what license it is)_ ?
Are you asking if you can use the same image for different Pins? Yes, you can. I would just try to change it up so that they look pretty different from each other. You should always use approved stock images.
@@SimplePinMedia _thanks_
Great video Kate. Truly a 101 breakdown for those of us who feel a little like a pin lost in a haystack.
Thank you!
How do I put a link on pinterest pins to my books forsale on amazon?
This one should help th-cam.com/video/A0H81QvJ0rg/w-d-xo.html

So pleased to have found you guys.
Very helpful, thanks
Thank you, so glad it was helpful!
It seems simple but every time I go throught the process things don't work out. So I'll bow out and maybe try another day.
Let me know when you try. Happy to help.
No demo?
What type of demo would you like?
Do people in Australia use pinterest?
They do! It seems to be on the rise right now too! I spoke to an eCommerce group there a few years ago.
Idk how i came across this video but I'm happy that i did😅
I'm happy you did too :) Welcome.
Thanks for this very clear explainer. I now know much more than zero, which is where I started! :)
