time during this video check out the description for links to all of the
resources mentioned in this video so let's have a look at how to set up a
Pinterest business account so you can unlock all the features that Pinterest
offers for business to create your Pinterest business account start by
going to business Pinterest comm if you already have a Pinterest account as a
profile and you want to use it as a business page click on convert now and
this will enable you to log into your Pinterest account and convert it into a
Pinterest business page you want to convert it to a Pinterest business page
because this enables you to have access to the business features including the
option to advertise and Pinterest analytics I'm going to assume that you
don't have a Pinterest account yet so go ahead and click on the join as business
button and here Pinterest will take you to a page where you fill in these basic
details your email address password your business name select the business type
that fits the business that you're in as well as your website once you've filled
in the details click on create account and then Pinterest will ask you to put
in five topics to follow now because this is a business account and we want
to use this account strategically to grow our business instead of just
following pages that you are personally interested in a tip here is to find
topics that your audience is interested in
let me tell you why Pinterest will then collect different pins from the
Pinterest universe and show them to you in your Pinterest newsfeed now it's
great to have stuff that you're interested in however if you already
have a feed of pins articles and content that your audience would love you can
easily repin those pins straight from your newsfeed so you want to be
leveraging this as a way of aggregating content for your own audience so for me
my audience are small business owners solopreneurs coaches consultants and
creative professionals so instead of following topics that are specific just
to what I'm interested in such as for example makeup food and drink and
trouble I would follow topics relating to my audience so I would look
entrepreneur quotes and entrepreneur related topics to follow and anything
related to social media and social media marketing I would follow as well
then Pinterest will begin to build the home feed for you now you need to also
make sure you check your email for the confirmation from Pinterest and this
will confirm that the email address you've set up with Pinterest is correct
so you want to open up the email from them if you haven't received it make
sure you check your spam in Bob sometimes it gets stuck in there and him
then click on the confirm your email button that appears within their email
now you'll notice on your Pinterest home feed if you click on the button on the
top right hand side of the search bar here it will bring up a list of
different categories with different topics on Pinterest and if you click on
these topics it will bring up all these different pins relating to that area
you've also got your home feed but you can reach from this section as well and
these are all the pins of profiles that you have followed if you click on the
pin on the top right hand side here this will open up your Pinterest profile
all and from here you can begin to create some boards and you can also edit
your profile when you click on the edit profile button you're able to fill in
certain details that will appear on your personal page your business name you can
change the picture that appears as a little thumbnail on your Pinterest page
the size dimensions of this image is 165 pixels high by 165 pixels wide you can
also set your Pinterest username in the about you section you want to include a
brief description that tells people what it is that you do you can add your
location and you can add your website as well then you click Save and the changes
will appear on your profile like it has online here if you want to go back and
change the profile image or change the text or the website you simply click on
the little cog button on the right hand side here and click Edit settings this
will enable you to go back into the profile section where you can then
change these details here if you scroll through this section as well you're able
to control the notifications that you receive by email from Pinterest and you
