in today's video I will show you an easy way to post on Pinterest you will see how I do it on
my desktop and on a mobile phone and I will also show you how you can schedule your pins in advance
so let's start with creating pins on a desktop computer usually here you will see this create
button and let's start with just a regular pin and here in this window usually you can either
upload an image or a video you can choose and the format if it's a video has to be mp4 file
for videos the recommended length of the V of the video on Pinterest is around 6 to 15 seconds not
longer than this but let's start with an image so I have an image like this I have also here a video
if I just click here in canva to play it plays all together but I'll show you all the options what
we can do here first we need to save the first page from here it's the an image I will select
the format in canva PNG pin G's a high quality image I need the first slide over here and I'll
click download okay the image here is over here in my browser I'll just drag and drop it here you'll
see a little frame on Pinterest and it's typical especially lately it's been working this way don't
worry you're not doing anything wrong with your PIN as long as your PIN is bigger than 1000 by
1500 pixels you're good to go now we need to add a title and a description over here and here will
be the destination link I'm gonna copy all of this from my site you have here an ALT tag so
you can add here something or you can just skip it but you can add something that just describes
with the main focus keyword what is on your PIN so let's say here idea pin tutorial and we have
here the destination link another thing that you can do here you can add some tag you can tag some
products or some pins from your account so in my case since I'm I don't have an e-commerce store I
can only add some pins I will search for something related to Pinterest maybe some of my checklists
or some tutorials that I have canva tutorial you see some of the pins that are the most relevant to
what I'm trying to show in this pin and I'll click save done so now you see that they show up here
all these products that I added I could I could have added a lot more if I wanted to now I have
to choose the most relevant board so I'm gonna search for something that starts with Pinterest
okay Pinterest tips I'll click publish and let's have a look at this pin that we just created
I'm gonna click see your pin and open it in the next tab so here you go this is what we have
and if I scroll a little bit lower you'll see all these products that I tagged here
now users can click on my title of the pin and they'll go to my blog post another thing that
I wanted to mention here is that if you click here on this laptop Corner you'll have a plus
icon that adds even more pins to the same window which makes it easier for you if you want to save
several different designs of your pin and let's say you want to link them to the same page I
just would mention here that if you do so you can use the same titles and descriptions it is better
to actually experiment and add some different keywords to your titles and descriptions but
you can actually copy and paste and that's what it makes it easier when you have it in in one window
but also another thing I want to mention here is that we don't want to save different pins with
the same destination link too many times very quickly in a short period of time so we want to
use here the publish at a later date option which is a Pinterest native scheduler it allows you to
schedule up to two weeks in advance so it's not a huge interval actually it's recommended to have
about seven days of an interval so basically you would be able to save I would say like maximum
two or do the max if you stretch to the max maybe like three pins one today another in seven days
and then another one on 13th day so that was for saving an image pin now we're back to canva and
I want to save a video pin so I'm gonna select the MPV MP4 format I will choose the third slide
where I had the video and we're gonna download this video here now I'm dropping the file over
here it's just five seconds which is perfect Pinterest recommends them to keep very short
you want to follow this recommendation because you don't want users to stay for a long time on
Pinterest you want them to go to your site correct so we're gonna keep videos short here you will add
the same title and description you can always copy the same ones that you had for your image
pins now you can add a null text as I said it's not not required but you can add it then you can
add some tags and in this case we need to search for something relevant to our pin so in this case
I will search for something related to Pinterest there is an fortunately not many options over here
specifically for this topic you will find that for more generic topics and Broad topics you'll
find a lot more attacks over here but for in my case I just can use social networks I guess
maybe blogging I could search for something like social media let's see what we'll find
okay I could take anything like social media and you will start adding these tags so that you can
help Pinterest algorithm quickly understand what your video pin is about and then you will add
your destination link and let's see what we will get when once I submit everything here
now because this video pin is going to be linked to the same page or URL on my site I want to give
it an interval of about seven days so I'm going to schedule this pin for about a week later and
here I can select different time I know that my audiences in the United States so it would
be around night for my time zone so that's how I can schedule pins on Pinterest and then I'll
just click publish so you see here it shows a warning that this pin will be published later
now if you're wondering where you can find all of your scheduled pins you can go to your Pinterest
profile and the very first thing that should show up show up if you have any scheduled pins
it's them so you'll just click here and you'll see all the scheduled pins and including this pin that
I just scheduled right now now the next thing I want to show you is how to create idea pins on
desktop so we'll go here to create create idea pin create new I'll have to upload here my creatives
for idea pins I recommend you to start with a short video pin something like the video that
I just created for for this blog post so you want to have your folder with the files open somewhere
on your computer so you can just drag and drop the files over here this is the video I created
earlier you can see we can just play it and that's the video we have it's just five seconds now I
will drag and drop here the image created for the second slide of my idea pin and this is how my
slides will look I I want to emphasize that I want to put the video first and then the image and that
is because this way we will get more attention more eyeballs on our pin once people see in the
feed on Pinterest because the video is moving the image is static right here you can still change a
lot of things you can jump between the slides and add some text if you're if you still have enough
space for adding some text you can do it in this case I could add something like best practices
you can do the same with your second slide but in my case I already have a lot of tags on the
second slide so I'm just gonna click next and here you have a choice to add some different text as
your ideapin title and actually I'm gonna use the title of my blog post I prefer to use it for the
for the sake of having a lot of keywords over here I will select the right board I'm going to search
for Pinterest related board now you have a field for text similar to video pins I'm gonna search
something related to Pinterest and the match tags are blogging and affiliate marketing so I'm gonna
go with blogging you can add more details for your idea pins depending on your Niche so if
you are in food Niche you might want to add here the ingredients for your recipe if you are in DIY
you might want to add some supplies notes are more generic for everyone anyone and everyone
like in this case I could just copy and paste the instructions for creating idea pins right
from my blog post I believe it can help you a little bit with SEO and can help your idea pins
get found for the correct for the right keywords now you don't need to go to these Advanced options
because they're not even related to the content of your idea pin so here is how ideapin will look
we just have two slides and I want to emphasize that two slides is better than a lot more slides
because we want users to get to this window as soon as possible so they can follow your Pinterest
profile now let's take a look at how you will be creating a pin if you are on a mobile device so
you have to be logged in into your Pinterest app and let me just show you here at the bottom of the
screen over here you have this error you have this plus icon that's where you need to click to start
creating a pin so you'll click on a pin and let's select one of my I already have in my gallery you
have to have the thing that you want to upload on Pinterest right there in your gallery on the
phone so I selected one of the videos and then I click next it will ask you to select the part of
your video which you want to use as a cover image so you can just scroll left and right I will just
select this part for example and then I will click next here we need to define the title description
of the pin and then we'll select also the board which we want to save it so I'm going to just
um type here SEO optimized SEO optimized title for my PIN so here you go we have now a title
and a description that is a little longer than the title then we'll click next and it will ask
us to save it to one of the boards I will find the most relevant board on my account that should be
something about Pinterest marketing let me just find it okay Pinterest marketing tips
and Pinterest strategy so the penis has been created um it's asking me now to just promote
the pin but I don't want to create a promoted pin right now here you go now I wanted to show
you easy ways how you can save beans from your site the simplest way I guess is just to use the
save button on your site when you click on it it should suggest several pins you can select
the vertical pin that you created specifically for this purpose and the next thing that happens
you just select the board I'm gonna go with my blogging board once I select the board click save
let's see how the pin looks and you'll see that actually Pinterest started cutting off a little
bit the spins it doesn't look the same way in the regular user's feed it just looks like this
in this preview but you will notice here that I never had to save the title and the description
of the pin it comes automatically as a rich pin from my website because I have enabled Rich pins
and this happens very easily once you verify your site the next thing that happens you will see that
your reach pins start working automatically bringing the titles and description as your
descriptions from your site so for this method to work you obviously need to have some sharing
social sharing buttons on your site I use a plugin called grow it's a plugin developed by mediavine
company it's a paid plugin but it doesn't cost a lot and I I don't get paid for recommending it I
only recommend it because I know that it has great settings for Pinterest sharing because for example
you can see here this button in the middle of the pin also shows up because of this grow plugin and
there are several other settings that grow plugin allows you specifically for Pinterest sharing and
it helps you get more traffic from Pinterest you could also manually save your PIN from the site
just by submitting your website URL or the page URL and it will also automatically find the pin
you will add the pin but here the problem is that you'll have to manually add the title and
description so the previous method was much easier and another way if you're using Tailwind you will
have this Chrome extension that you can install on any Chrome or Mozilla or even on Safari you
can have it once you are on your blog post you can just click on this Tailwind button select
the correct pin that you want to save click go schedule and here you'll have an option to
schedule this pin to three different boards and to select the intervals so I'm here in my profile
you can select a few boards you can have list of boards I'll say here that I want to select
to save this B into three different boards about blogging on my profile it automatically brings the
title and description also from your blog post you will want to you might want to check if the
URL is correct usually it is and then you can use interval because you are uploading it to basically
three different boards I recommend you to keep it on seven days because that's what Pinterest
and Tailwind recommend so the next thing I'll do I'll just um maybe I'll just check the timing I'll
just do a little bit later around 7 or 8 pm and then I will click set interval and the next thing
I'll have to do is schedule now there's one more little button here add to communities this is only
available for basically for Tailwind users even on the on their free plan you will have access
to about five communities so you can add your pins to small communities of bloggers or other website
owners who are also using Tailwind so people are just basically repainting each other's pins and
this is just a way to reciprocate within the same Niche and helps you show your pins especially for
new accounts it makes sense because these other bloggers or these other website owners in your
Niche they have relevant profiles and if they save something from your account it will help
Europeans get more eyeballs which is important for a new account the next thing I need to do is just
click on schedule now and my pins will go to my tail and schedule so I personally prefer to use
tone scheduler you can start a free account with them using My Link anastasiablogger.com/tailwind
and by the way it also allows you to schedule on Instagram and on Facebook you've done a great
job and it wasn't difficult right now you know how to create pins and I think you definitely
should know more about Pinterest SEO so check my next video up there and I'll see you there
