Hello everybody, it is good to see you back! Today's tutorial is about Pinterest Story Pins.
I'm going to be giving you step-by-step instructions about how to create a Pinterest
Story Pin using Canva. I'm then going to walk you through how to use that template to create
a Pinterest Story Pin via desktop. And then I'm going to show you how to do that via a
smartphone. There are really subtle differences about how you can upload a Pinterest Story
Pin via desktop and via your smartphones so please stay watching. I'm also going to be
sharing with you a couple of my own ninja tips. I'll also be giving you a link to the
exact same Canva template which I used to get results like this on Pinterest.
We've got a lot to cover so let's get started. Pinterest recommends that you use a template 900px wide
by 1600px in height. You can use up to 20 Story Pins. Use a combination of images and
videos but ensure that videos are no more than 20 seconds in duration.
Add your title first because it is easier to see the text.
Your Story Title is only visible on a smartphone.
Upload your photos or just drag and drop them from a folder. The first Pin you upload will
be your Story Pin 'Cover'. I'll talk to you about adding text overlay a little later on
so keep watching.
Once you've finished your Story Pin Cover you can then continue to add
Pins to your Story. Add a Page title, a Page description and that all-important link for lead generation.
Please note this white box is visible on all devices and will cover your template
You should finish off with a powerful Call-to-Action
so that you can generate as many leads as possible.
Now that we've done that let me show you how I upload a Pinterest
Story template via my smartphone. Now I'm using an Android smartphone so those of you
who have iPhones may have a slightly different experience.
So now for that little ninja tip
that I was promising you at the start of this video. Personally I would prefer to create
any text overlay in Canva because you can use your own brand visual style. You can also
use your own brand colours and position the text exactly where you want it to be. And
this is why the template I'm going to share with you is so useful because I've taken the
time to work out exactly where the 'safe areas' are. So using my template you can see exactly
where to include all the essential elements on your template. To get your free Canva template
just click the link which I'll leave in the description box below. If you have any questions
or comments please do let me know in the comments section and I'll do my best to answer your
queries. Thanks so much for watching and I'll see you in the next tutorial.
