So you guys can see the one right here. That's the idea of being right guys. So here's another idea pin. You can see a whole bunch of different idea pins. And if you guys should take a good look, this is my own feed. As you can see at the top. Pinterest is showing me a whole bunch of different idea pins. They are not really showing me any normal appearance. If I should continue stored in, as you guys can see it, Here's a whole bunch of ideas. Pins on my home feed. Pinterest is pushing out idea pins heavily right now. Let's say for example, I'm interested in Quito. As an example, hit Search.

So right off the bat, persons have the option to follow your right here. So it's kinda easy to gain followers from idea payments. And then your followers can also see your normal pinches pins that to click through. We're normal pinches pins and go to your website or whatever you're linking in Europeans. So if I was really into In, in the keto diet, I would most likely follow this profile right here because as you can see right here, keto diet blog to meal planning guide and Quito recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, desserts and tips. So why not follow them? Because the Follow button is right here, big ball, close. I'm interested in Quito late. So it's really a win-win. If I should follow this rule ferrite here, I would be getting my daily dose of keto diet content. This person right here would begin in me as a follower. It's a win-win situation right here guys are currently one-off my most recent clients.

And the person will have the option to follow right here. 5. Creating An Idea Pin: The site that we'll be using to create our pinches idea pins is called Canva.com. Why do we link to Canva will be somewhere down below. When you're on canva.com, you're basically going to search in the search box right here. Teenagers, idea pin, right here. As you can see right here, guys, a whole bunch of Pinterest idea pin templates. And Ken work currently has 2017 the templates, right? No. The reason being is because Pinterest pins, he's fairly new. So taking the time to actually create these templates to upload into your software. If you should look closely right here, you can choose this diagonal of your Pinterest idea pin. You want simple, you can click on right here. Mother and clean and same thing for a minimalist and forth. Or if I should show it on here, you can choose a theme. If you're a person that has a Pinterest profile all based around food and recipes. You can click here. If you're a person that has a profile all based on business, you can use right here, same thing for our college computer and all these other options right here. You can also choose the color of your idea pin. You can even choose any one of these templates to start with. What I wanted to show you guys from computes crutch hold to create these pinches idea pins. So I'm going to click on create a blank pinches idea pin right here. First things first guys, we need some content for our Pinterest idea pins. So I already found an article right here that there'll be using throughout this tutorial. So on the first slide, we'll be using this right here to grab the attention of viewers. This right, you would make a person decide if they would like to click on this idea, pin, click on someone is his idea of being the first page of your IDF pins. That always turned out and look really professional. Machine to ticks foreign trade here, to leak spot-on. This is all key. Bringing this at the top right here. And also you can always add your logo. I don't have any logos for this specific idea pin right here, right guys. You can also leave a little space right here and add your logo. Right here, right here, right here. It basically anywhere you would like to add your logo. You can add your logo just to keep your idea of being consistent with your brand color is unbranded style. How much it just sticks to. Let's see. I love using effects right here. Because I think, in my opinion, I think it makes the text pop. I always tend to decrease offset right here and direction. And increase the blur and increase the transparency right here. As you can see, the glowing effect on the text right here. So much even just from red. Let's see, wait, let's see black, white right here. So much in this bug go into, let's say a block. I watch it in this effect. Color to black as well. What's missing right here is an image of some meal plans, for example. So first things first, we're gonna click on elements right here. Gonna store it on until you see grids right here. I'm going to jump to the bottom right here. Perfect. So we're gonna go into photo section right here and search for something like as an example. So here you can see a whole bunch of different images. And if you guys see this corner right here, that's seen puree here, simply means that you'll have to pay for our Canva pro subscription, which is around $14. Between 12 to $14 per month, between $12.99 to $14.99 per month. If you're using Canva for the very first time, I will link down below with a 30 days free HL for you guys. The door to see if you like it or not. Let's see, for example, using this image right here. So you will just jug and jump this image right here. If you'd like, you can also crop. Just to show the most important parts of this image. Let's perfect. Why do we, if you'd like, you can also go back into elements x and right here, and search for something like arrow right here. Go into graphic section. Basically, any order right here. Let's see, for example, I'll be using this R right here. You can bring it to the bottom of the image. And she and obviously persons with an audit, The issued swipe. And either way, if they don't want to swipe, already, are not planning to clean and swiping. If they click on this, click on this right here, automatically DOB taken through the rest of the pins. If they don't realize that they automatically ADB taken to the other idea pins. To be honest guys, it isn't needed in an idea pin like this one. The reason being is because the first bead will see ten ketonic meal-plan tips. So obviously you wouldn't know that there are more slides to it. Let's see, your Pinterest profile is our board. Business courts are courts in general. Person's weren't expecting more than a certain amount of quotes. I know you guys must be thinking like what Russia and would obviously they can tell if they are seen in numbers top-left corner. I know guys, but not everyone actually peas attention to number of idea being raped. For example, if I'm scrolling in my Pinterest feed and I see something like this and I'm really interested in Quito meal-plan. I won't be paying attention to the numbers. To the numbers. I'll click right into this idea pin right here. I'm not saying you can't use an arrow. You can if you'd like to do more sauce to your idea BMJ. What we're gonna do now is we're going to duplicate this page right here. We're going to click on this right here. We're going to click on this duplicate page right here. So let me go back over to this particle right here. The first step is start with existing key to fever. It's going to copy this right here. P straight here. If you'd like, you can also number, number what you do and have to somewhat decreases size. Just a bit. Position this right here in the center. So obviously we have to change this image right here. Start with existing Quito favorites. We're going to go into photo section right here. Let's see. You could use this image as an example. This right here, the O and we get most important parts. By the way, you can also animate these bins. You can just click on this animator here. You can choose whether it's, it feeds in slides, in it pops. Right? A good idea. For example, I want to plan for these apply to all pHs. Let's play this as an example. There you go guys. Already, this is gonna be scared to duplicate this page right here. We're going to hit MC over at least our decorate here. Here's our, its artistic and stock up on key to steeples. Will copy this right here, inbox over to Canva and this piece right here. So we're stuck up on key to steeples. Position right here in the center. You can search in the search box right here. Ketose tables as an example. It's better or wrong. We're not seeing any results for key to steeples. Let's use this image as an example. We're going to go ahead and duplicate this page. And basically it is going to continue duplicating these PAHs. If you're finished filling in all these different pins, information. Or third, prepare a grocery list. We're going to copy this. Paste it right here. We're going to search for in the search box right here, grocery gonna crop this image right here. Let's see this one right here. This one looks. Watch bitter guys. I'm going to speed up this video, right? No, Because I really do want to be boring you guys. Here you go guys. Over a ten, easy Quito, Milton tip. Start with Xist in Quito, favorites, dug up on key to steeples. Prepare a grocery list. Invest in food containers, batch, consider W naught, scheduled T cold, blue and forget breakfast, CS2 frozen ingredients and don't beat yourself up. And also guys, if, let's see, for example, if you would like to do a combination of images of high-quality images and also graphics. I recently created a series of classes all based on infographics, which I would highly recommend you guys to watch right after this class, I would avoid link this class don't below this right here is quite simple. I know it's quite simple, but it's best to create these simple idea pins than over complicating it and end up ruining it. Basically. That's it for creating or ideas, opinions. And to be honest guys, I rarely see person's upload in infographics, in their pinches, idea pins. And if you don't already know, infographics are very popular. And infographic posts tends to have more engagement than normal. Post. This post, for example, an infographic poster would have, most would most likely get more engagement than a post late, at least. That's the reason why I highly recommend you check out the class. That's all based on infographics. It might be speaking about mostly Instagram, but you can also do seem tips to boost your engagement on your Pinterest profile as well. 6. Exporting And Uploading Your Idea Pin: Before exporting over Pinterest pins, if you'd like, you can also published a pinches directly. What I would recommend you guys doing this. I would recommend you guys clicking ignored icon right here. And I would also recommend you guys not to download this as an MP4 video. And if you guys would like to download this as an MP4 video, you can. And also if you'd like to download these as images, as normal images that persons can just swipe through, you can. Before this example right here, I'll be using an MP4 video right here. So as you can see right here, or pinches idea pin has been downloaded or a device. So we're going to hit back over to Pinterest.com and we're going to click on Create it here. Remember guys, please ensure that you have a business first because most likely you won't see this idea Pin section right here. I would actually recommend you to create a Pinterest business or cone if you don't already have one. So I'm, I click on Create idea pin right here. So we're going to click on Create New right here. And you can chug and drop this file right here. If you would like to preview your idea pin here, you will see right here. As you can see, if I should go back. Let's go back. Let's preview it once again. Here we can see that it takes right here is too big for mobile phone. So what I recommend you guys doing is actually going back over it again and decrease in the size of this arrow right here. And also the ticks that are not showing on the screen that will. And that's one thing that I would highly recommend you guys doing as well, is always ensure to preview your idea before uploading it. Because once you upload your idea being you can't let me walk out. If you'd like. You can also play this. Anyways. Click on next right here. We're going to edit the cover because you don't want person's to be seen just black. We want over first slide to be showing solid pick on this right here. And let's see. Here's our first slide right here. And as you can see you guys, that text is to be, I don't want to waste your guys time. We're going to click on the first, the first slider right here, which is ten easy Quito meal plan tips and click on Done. Here is our covariate here in the title or just a tin, easy. I will just it to a specific board. I won't be adding this pin to any of my boys because it's Norway related to my Pinterest profile. Right here, where it says search for our target. You can't see something like Quito. Recipe is Tito diet, low carb diet, low carb ratio P is bonus tip guys. You're gonna click on the arrow pointing operate here. And here you can see at least you're going to click on this arrow right here. And ten easy Quito Mu plaintiffs. This is not an indices, not ingredients, right? This is not supplies. Gonna click on nodes right here. That the reason why we will be adding some nodes right here is because pinterest tends to categorize your pins, your idea pins much quicker than usual, right on by filling in your idea pins with even more keywords related to your idea pin can give you even more exposure in the long run. So thin, easy. For you. Right here, you would just list all, each and every tip right here. And if you'd like, you can also add a few tags as well. On ketones. Ketones. You just click on Publish right here. If I should click on Preview ratio. Let's preview at one last time. You see this white line right here coming across these 12 lens right here, your notes would be showing ratio. Basically that's it guys. 7.
