Transcripts

1. Introduction: Hey, welcome to Grow Your Pinterest Made Simple and we're going to look at how to bring steady traffic to your website, shop or offers using Pinterest. In this course, you will learn four key components. We'll delve into PinchS SEO, how it works, understanding search engine optimization, and why it's really important. Then we're going to think about those scroll stopping pins, how to create them, then following on to keywords, how to use them, and finally finishing with how to plan and track your content and work out what works and what doesn't. So let's get started. 2. How Pinterest SEO works: So we're going to look at how Pinterest SEO actually works. So let's dive into this. Pinterest uses search engine optimization, so SEO for sure. A bit like Google. But with Pinterest, they use three primary factors that influences the ranking of your pins. You've got relevance, engagement, and quality. First of all, keywords are crucial. They are really, really important and they need to be included in your titles, your descriptions, your boards. Think of them as guiding compass in making your content discoverable. The more useful the keywords, the more relevant keywords, the more likely people will find them. Keywords are really important. We'll talk about keywords later on and some of the tools and things that you can use to make sure that you are getting discovered. But there are many tools out there to help you figure out which keywords are more relevant. Next, quality really matters. I don't know if you've ever come across things and they're either blurry or the image isn't right, or the text is a little bit off and the quality just isn't quite high enough, I would say. That it really puts you off. With Pinterest, it's really important to use high quality images. That's what will generate more likes and more impressions and click throughs as well. Make sure that you're using high quality images and make sure that your text is readable as well. That is a big thing because on PITS, you're not necessarily using images. I know I don't use them for some of mine. I use text, but make sure it's legible and people can read it because otherwise you just get scanned, people will not actually pay any attention to it either. And consistency. With Absolute everything, including pinches and all social platforms, consistency really matters. The more regular you do things, the more you put your pins out, create boards, the more you're engaged on Pinterest, the more Pinterest goes, yes, this person is active, let's push their pins up that ranking. That's really, really important. Some people just create the boards, they create loads and lows and lows and pins, and then they just forget about it or they don't do any new pins. Pinterest really likes new things, new quality pins, and it will dramatically increase your impressions and your ranking by doing this. When it comes to consistency, don't panic. You don't need to be posting 20, 30 pins a day. The bare minimum is probably five or even two a day. As long as you're posting something daily, that's all it matters really. Take some time each day, create a couple, post them, done. Or you can do them in a batch on a Sunday evening, say two a day, that's 14 pins per week. That's it. Then when you've got a bit more time, keep adding, keep creating a bit more and just bump that number up gradually. This will help your Pinterest account grow as well. The more you put in, the more it will give you back as well. So what do they look for Pinterest? I've got an example over here as well. First of all, they will look at the relevance. Pinterest wants to ensure that your keywords align with what users are searching for. This means using specific and accurate keywords in your pins. There is no point calling something completely different what your pin is actually trying to promote. Because no one will find it. Pin J will be like, this isn't really relevant and it will just get ranked right at the bottom. You've just got to do it as a Google thing as well. Think of it as someone types in that Google search bar, it's going to bring up the things that you're asking for in relevance order, aren't they? They're not going to throw some random stuff in because that's not what you searched for. You need to be thinking, what are people going to search for to find my stuff? Next is engagement. This is how they evaluate every pin. The pin success is measured by how often it's clicked, saved, and shares. This indicates how well it resonates with your audience. Are people interested in what you have to offer or your pin? Is it informative? Is it interesting? Is it something people want to learn more about? Then it will look at the domain quality. PinchS assesses the trustworthiness of your store, your website that is linked to your pin. Make sure that when you aren't linking all those URLs to your pins, make sure it's going to a domain name that is secure and isn't very spammy and stuff. Because it will really matter. Pinch will be like if any pin looks spammy or it's going to website that isn't quite trustworthy, you will find that sometimes Pinterest will close your account down if they see it a lot, by the way. Be really careful of that. But always sign post your pins to something reliable, like for example, your own website or Etsy account or whatever it is, just make sure that it's linked to something that pinches will be like, Yeah, that's fine. This's a decent looking website. And lastly, the quality. We actually mentioned quality a minute ago and the fact that we were saying about quality of your pins, your images, your text. This is a really important one as well. Quality is about your branding as well. We haven't touched that as well, but branding is your consistent branding of colors, texts, the fonts that you use. You've got to think about it in scrammin away. You know, you'll be using same styles, same font on that. That's what should be doing in Pinterest. The same coloring because then that builds up a brand around you and people start to recognize it's your pins. Pinchest loves that. They like to see the fact that you're sticking to colors and things like that. However, when it comes to your branding, make sure that you shake it up a bit as well. I know that sometimes you're like, it's just easier to copy and paste the exact same thing on the exact same template. Try and change that template up, try and move things around, but stick to the colors, stick to the fonts. But you can change it up a bit because as long as it's recognizable branding of you, that's fine. But Pinterest really likes it, enhances your credibility and trustworthiness and they will push your pins up higher as well. So how do users find you? I just thought I'd share this as well because this is really important. We've discussed the SEO basics. We've looked at the pins themselves. Now we're looking at how do users find you? So the way they do this is the Pinch has such the home feed and related pins. These three avenues open up opportunities for your content to reach a wider audience. This is why we say you need to optimize your titles, your tags, and your boards as much as possible so people can find you. So by optimizing these, you'll get found a lot easier. But if you are really, really struggling at this point to figure out what keywords to use, what kind of freezes to use, your best bet is to type something in to the Pinterest search bar. This is what would somebody actively looking for your content look for in the search bar that will help you massively in creating your boards, what to call them, your pins, what kind of things in the title, what kind of information you need to include. But that would be your best bet to be honest as well. Type it in the search bar. Write down all the keywords on our Google Sheet or a notepad or something because this is a good step for you to get really good traction, your pins and all of that. Yeah, from this lesson, go ahead, do some research, look at keywords, and we will move on to the next lesson now. 3. Setting up your profile for success: So we're going to look at setting up your profile for success. Creating a strong Pin tres profile is your launching pad for success. It's a really important step before you start creating all those various pins. You need to be making sure that you fill out your profile. All of it. Here's a little bit of a checklist for you. First of all, ensure you have a business account. If you have a personal one, that's fine. You can actually convert it to a business account, and it's really important because you can get a lot of analytic tools, you'll get options to do some ads. You'll get a lot more options compared to a personal account. Also you can see your growth as well through doing it. It's really important you switch it to business account to begin with. Then you need to choose a clear profile photo or even a logo. This represents your brand, who you are, and it gives the first impression of you basically, gives a bit of a brand identity too. Also, it's really good idea to do the banner. I've got an example in the image as well of a banner. Basically, what is your profile about? What is your business? What are you? Who are you? Basically? You can put that in your banner, and that's what's in this one. For example, it's got the company logo. It's talking about digital products, ready to sell and it's got all of these examples all the way around, which is really visually appealing as well. It makes it stand out, but it tells me a lot about what this profile is about. Then look at creating your description of who you are. Make sure that you include those keywords as well. You mentioned keywords earlier. Keywords, I'm going to probably say quite a lot because they are really, really important. But this is an opportunity for you to describe what your Pinterest's account, who it's for, to think those keywords that will help you massively. That's the description under in the image where it says followers and that's where it will pop up. If anyone wants to find out more about what you're doing and look at your boards, this will crop up. And finally, there is a part in Pinterest once you've converted to Business account where you can link to websites and your shop. I think mine is currently linked to Etsy. There are some that are linked to websites. There's quite a few things that you can link to, but it's really important to set those up. When you do do it, in the image, you can see there's a little globe with an email website, and that's where it would come up. If anyone comes onto profile, they can click on that link and it would take them to my shop. Next, let's talk about boards. Boards are really important. They're a lot more important than you think they are. They're a place where you can store all those various key pins related to certain topics. For example, there are four boards here and each of them have a specific name. You've got to fill it marketing with Pinterest. If you click through there, you would find everything related to that topic. That's how you should be doing. You should be categorizing your pins into these various boards. With each of these boards, spend some time, make sure they have a clear name. You use a keywords and you fill out the description for each and every one of them as well. You can also include the covers. You can see there's four very obvious similar style covers for all of these. What you'll find when you add the covers to these, by the way, is you have to upload the covers as pins. To each of the boards, then you can add them to your board. If you're a bit confused at this point, I want to change the cover to this specific image, that's how you do it is you just basically just upload them and make sure they're in the right board, then you can take it from that. But it's really important to use keywords in those descriptions and make them really like easy to skim through as well. I find sometimes when I grand people's accounts that when I'm looking at all their boards, they are a bit jumbled or I can't really see what the topics are. Having clear covers is actually quite nice. It's easy to read go, that's about that. That's about that. Because sometimes the descriptions underneath them are a little bit too short. You only see some of the words, not all of them. So to optimize your boards, this can be time consuming, but what I will say is use AI tools, it will help you massively. You can tell them the keywords, but here are some focuses. Board cover, we mentioned about that. It's really important, what is the board about? It could be really, really simple. It's just using word, what's the board called? Make sure the name has keywords in it. And then the description, also introduced keywords into that as well. When you create a board, a really good tip for this is to have at least 20 quality pins in each one to start with. So focus on creating a board, then do 20 pins for that board and then move across or even do five across some of the boards, but try and build them up so at least there are 20 quality pins in each one as well. This will help massively with your ranking. You know, Pinterest will be like, oh, there's actually quite a lot of content in this board, you know, and it will get noticed a bit better as well on Pinterest. So it's really important to fill out all this it's one of those things that people forget about an awful lot boards and descriptions, but just spend some time. Once you've set up the name and the descriptions and things, it's easy from there to be honest. And finally, when it comes to your profile, make sure that everything is matching and very consistent. We mentioned consistency before because SEO ranks in there, it ranks with interest. Consistency, when I say that, I'm talking about colors, fonts, the visuals. As you've seen, I've actually shown you some examples of the boards of pink. The profile itself has a banner, it's got pink. The fonts are used are the same ones as well. But you can tell that the boards match with the profile from the visuals and everything like that. They're very consistent in that. But it's really important to make sure that your profile is consistent in everything. I builds up consistency, recognition. If you're a bit lost as to what colors, think about your favorite brands and then have a look at the colors, even go on Pinterest, have a look at profiles that you like. Yeah, that's very similar to what I want to be doing. Look what kind of colors and then go from there. Think about what colors stand out to you. But try and aim to use colors that are quite professional looking and don't use too many of them. You'll find that some if you use five or six colors, it can be very chaotic looking. Stick to maybe three colors, three, four colors because it'll be easy for you when you start creating the pins. Three, four colors to create different pins than it is to do six or seven different colors. It's just a lot more work. But Pinches definitely prefers full profiles, all the information, the website links, the keywords used, the board setup, and the entire branding, the banner at the top, the logo. There's a lot to do. Go through this lesson again if you want or if you've wrote notes down and make sure you're ticking off each of these activities ready to move on to the next lesson. 4. Designing scroll stopping pins: In this lesson, we're going to cover off designing scroll stopping pins. Let's dive into what makes a pin truly clickable. First, a strong pin starts with a clear image. Think of it as a visual first impression. It's what draws your viewers in. Next, incorporate easy to read text overlays. The text should be legible at first glance even on Osmolscreen, be really cautious of the different fonts that you use as well. Then there's consistent branding. Here we go again with branding. We mentioned this earlier, stick to consistent branding, I your colors, your fonts, and obviously including your website address or your logo on it. This is just to build up that brand recognition and it builds trust as well with your audience. Finally, simplicity is going to be the key with you. Ensure your design has space to breathe, making it visually appealing and not overwhelming. There is this thing where people tend to stick so much on there. There are pins that you will see that are very informative and will have lots of information on them. That is absolutely fine. You can create pins with loads of information on it if it's in a nice easy format, it will have a nice background with the text that you can easily read and there'll be pins like top hundred side hustles to do, those types of ones where the lists and things. They're great because they're quite simple. They will be simple in design. They'll have a heading, they'll show the information and very easy background too. However, you can do other pins like the one I've got in front of me very easy, easy to read. You got big letters. It only uses two fonts as well, and it has a call to action on it as well, which is always really important to include on some of your pins. You don't need to include this on all of your pins, but you can put call to action if it's reading a blog, finding out more or anything like that. You can add in those little bits onto them as well. But try and keep them quite simple and think about if someone was scrolling, would they stop on that pin? So we're going to talk about the design guidelines for pins in general. Ideally PIS dimensions are 1,000 by 1,500 pixels. If you use Canva, like I do, you can just type in Pinters and it will give you the dimension anyways all preset up. But if you are using various tools, these are the most common dimensions to use. When it comes to fonts, try to use two to three fonts maximum anymore and you find that it looks distorted almost and it's really hard to read. Stick to two and three, make it nice, easy and readable for people. Also include your website or your logo somewhere on this pin example, it's at the bottom. Some of the other ones will have logos in the top corners just so that it builds up that brand recognition of who you are. And finally, choose bright or high contrasting colors. You want to grab people's attention in feed. It's really important to use nice bright colors that work well with text as well. So for example, on this pen, you'll see where it says, download your free guide. The color is pink, but the text is white, but you can see that really clearly. The one below where it says the website address, the black on the pink doesn't really stand out that much. But the whole point is to download the guide. That's what you want to stand out. The bits of information that people will go, Oh, stop. What's that about? Oh, yeah, free guide. Awesome. What's this? And they'll click through. So when it comes to creating your text overlays because most pins will have them. It's basically sharing information, quotes, you name it, it's really important to ensure that your Pin text is visually appealing and functional. So remember your text should include your main keywords as well. You'll include them on the text on the actual graphic and you'll also include them in the title and the description as well. It's consistent throughout all three parts of this. That's a really important thing to have in the back of your mind when you're creating these pins. What's the title going to be? How am I going to link this all together? Also when you are writing the text overlays, focus on using short action based phrases. There's some examples here on the screen where it says, grow your pinterest in 30 days. That is an action saying, basically, you want to grow your interest. Here you are, but you can do it in 30 days and people will be like, that's actually pretty decent, or they'll be like, R 30 days? Let's find out a bit more. It's a hook as such. You want people to click on it go, that's quite compelling. Yeah, I want to learn more about that and that's what you need to be doing. Lastly, when it comes to text overlays, you should communicate a clear benefit or outcome. This shows your audience the value of the gain from engaging with your content. Consider the other example, simple SEO tips for Etsy sellers, instantly inform us what they will learn. I'm going to learn SEO tips and I'm an EC seller. Fantastic. That's what I want to learn about and they'll click on it to find out because that's what interests them as well. That's the great thing with text overlays. You are basically hooking your audience through using words basically. Sometimes you only need a few words on some of them because sometimes an image is more eye catching, that's more of a hook. But some text overlays have the same appeal as well. So there are some really useful tools out there for creating your pins. Canva. All I'm going to say is Canva is amazing for it. It's very versatile. It gives you loads of templates, it saves you a lot of time and effort, to be honest, but you can type in, I want to quote template on Canva and it'll give you some options. But you can style it using your brand guidelines, brand kit that you've set up to the colors, makes it nice and quick. There are Pinterest templates out there. Go on C will find tons of Pinterest templates preset, already done, and you can build them in usually Canva find already set up for you if you are really struggling to go, I don't really know what I'm doing this and this and you're not a very design focused person. There are tons and tons of Pinterest templates out there. But that's actually a really good thing actually. I've used them quite a few times and they're not expensive at all, you'll find. Lastly, don't underestimate the power of your brand style guides. This will help you. What I find is before you do everything or you've got a bit of an idea about your branding is sit down, spend some time, figure out the fonts, The fonts that you actually like, you think that work really well together. Think of three colors as well and you've got it. That's it. That's basically your brand guidelines in a nutshell. If you know this, it will help you in creating the pins. What you'll find is you might waste a lot of time creating pins, and then the branding is all over the place. Have a clear goal going into creating your pins because this will help save so much time and energy. Create your brand style guide first. Then think about, I can use Canva, but I don't have the time and energy to create loads of different templates. Then go on to Etsy, for example, go on there, you can download them, and then you can switch them to your brand guidelines from there. That saves you so much time and effort, and then you can go from there, really. But that is what I would say is the best way of setting it up. Think about the text overlays. Think about if you can share some images. Stock images, if you use them, make sure they're good quality, make sure they're relevant to the pin topic. I've seen it so many times where they don't really relate and it's a bit off putting. Think about creating animated pins as well because they're really good to stand out with certain things. Try videos as well. Are loads of stock images, videos, animations that you can use if you use Cava or whatever tool you're using, there will be plenty of options to change things, but you can still stay consistent in your branding. To. Go off, have some fun, think about brand guidelines, think about the templates, how you're going to do them. Think about those keywords again. Even just have a look on other people's accounts, maybe see what is really popular and relevant right now, Pints, write down some styles, draw them out if you want, do some research, and then move on to the next. 5. Planning and Scheduling content : So let's look at planning and scheduling content. Let's dive into it. It's all about consisting on Pinterest. Consistent pinning signals to Pinterest that you're an active creator, which can significantly boost your visibility on the platform. It's not just about being active, it's about being strategic. Instead of posting all of your pins at once, aim to distribute them regularly over time. What this does is this approach keeps your content fresh and consistently in front of your audience, too, which is what you want. Remember, consistency is key to maintaining your engagement and that growth as well. Let's look at creating a content plan. When it comes to it, you need to be planning pins around your core topics, seasonal trends, and product launches too. This approach ensures that your content remains relevant and engaging to your audience too. Secondly, batch creating your designs can be a massive relief to Jana. Not only does it keep you organized, but it also helps save valuable time in the long run. When it comes to doing this, you need to take some time. You could do this once every two weeks, every week, however you want to do it, to spend some time batch creating these designs. What I find as well that works as well is working out when the audiences are live that are going to be the most active. For the UK, currently, usually find it's between about seven to 11, and what you can do from there is plan out, five pins a day, planning one out every half an hour, for example, I'm going to cover off some useful schedule tools in a minute two. But that is the ideal way to plan it. Write down what things that you want to write about, the topics. Have a look on trends on pinterest, and anything relevant that you think, that would be a great pin. If you're a blogger, by the way, and you've done a blog that week or you've got a couple coming up, then this is a really good opportunity to link back using Pinterest to the blog. Create five pins per blog is usually the standard. It's the same with pretty much everything. Try and aim for about five pins, per product if you've got them, just to start with. Then what you could do is you could do it again and tweak the wording from there. That's how I tend to sort out my content plan as you wish and to mix it up as well. When it comes to scheduling, you will find there was quite a few tools out there. Pinterest has a native scheduler. It's on the left hand side. It's a bit of a snippet of it. It's really useful in the fact that you can duplicate the pins, if it's got the same destination, same board, that type of thing, and you can drag images onto Pinterest. You have tailwind, which is a very common one, really popular one as well. It's great for saving time. A tool that I found recently that's really useful is publer the reason I think it's a great tool is you can preset the times on there for Pinterest. All you need to do is create the pin as you would say on anything else, upload the image, the title, description, destination, what and then you auto schedule and it will put it into slots per day. That's always a really useful tool to look out for. It's got a free plan. Pinterest native schedule is free. Tailwind you will have to pay a bit more, but there are so many useful features with tailwinds as well if you're willing to put some money forward to it as well. But definitely try looking at what tools are going to work for you, what's going to make it quicker as well. Because when you're uploading pins, you will find it does take a certain amount of time. To do it. But if you're going to do it every two weeks, then that helps cut down that time. But you've got to be thinking about the titles and descriptions so it can be a bit fiddly. But find what works for you. I only found pub I was looking for a new tool and it's the preset time that really drew me in as well. So we're just going to cover this before we move on to the next lesson. When it comes to pins, you need to be making sure you have a balance of quality and quantity. Focus on creating fewer high quality pins rather than doing loads and loads like high volumes because one, you'll resonate with your audience a bit better and Pin chess or like the fact that it's a high quality pin. I will save you time focusing on high quality pins, than it is volume pins as well. It could be so easy for you to create I don't know, 60, 70 pins on something and it's all text, but they're not all high quality, if you know what I mean. They're just maybe quotes of things and then you're hoping. It feels like there's not much thought gone into them compared to high quality ones, which are probably more aimed at getting more clicks and more impressions and getting noticed as well. It's so easy to think, I'll just create loads and loads and loads of pens and somebody will find it. No, that's not the case with pinterest. The higher the quality, the more informative, the more eye catching it is, the better the results compared to volume. So have that in the back of your mind. Pinterest is one of those platforms. It's better to put five quality pins a day than it probably do 20, which is, I think, quite a lot to be fair, 20 a day, and you throw throw, throwing stuff out, but they won't stick. You're basically better off just doing better quality and spending a little bit more time than doing as many as you possibly can. What I want you to do is spend some time, W out when you're going to block out time each week, every fortnight, every month. The pins. Think about the topics, the core topics, what you're going to be linking to. Are you a blogger? Are you putting new products out all the time? Have a look at the current trends and start to put an idea, even if it's on a notepad or on your computer somewhere, an idea of what you want the pins to be pointing to. Where do you want them to go? What are your core things that you're going to be talking about? What boards do you have currently or you're going to build around a specific topic? For example, the topics on some of the pin chess boards that I are different side hustles. They'll be different drop shipping and print on demand and digital products. They're all separate boards. Have a think about how you can narrow that down and get those pins into those boards to build up your entire account as well. 6. Track and improving performance: So our last lesson is tracking and improving performance. This is a very important lesson because you have put together your profile. You've done the boards, you've created a plan. You're consistently creating those lovely pins. Now you need to do the final part of it, which is tracking your analytics and people often forget about this. This is a part that will help understand all about what works, what doesn't, what people are interested in, so it will help you in creating those pins later on. Some of the things that you need to be looking out for, as you can see, there's a bit of a screenshot on the left hand side is that overall performance part where it says impressions, engagement, outbound links, and the rest. That's the part you need to be looking at. So impressions, the higher the number, great. It's the number of people who have seen your pin. So the higher that number is, the better. As you can see, the date range on this is the last 30 days. You can change that to however long, but I keep up on the last 30 days because I can tell each month to month what is getting a lot more impressions, engagement, and all of that as well. But it's a great way to just track what's being seen. Then you have things like saves. This metric tells you how many people found your content valuable. That's great. That's what you want. Then you've got clicks, clicks are crucial because they show their direct engagement and interest as well. This indicates how many people are interacting with your content and possibly moving further down your funnel. So by understanding these key metrics, it will help you in your content strategy as well. If you scroll down further on Pinterest analytics, you will come across your top performing pins and you can filter this out from organic and paid ads as well, which is really useful to see how it's growing. From this, you can work out what topics that people are interested in currently. I always do this every month end of the month, check out what worked, what didn't and what are people interested in. If you're looking at particular pin, however, you can actually see how that performed on its own. For example, if you are trying a new style of pin, which is very infographic and it's got data and you want to see, people like that. This what you do, you would find the pin and then you'd click on the stats part in it, and it'll bring you this window. You can see on this one, it's got 314, that's 314 people who have seen it. The number of clicks to open it, to read it, to find out more is 14 and saves is nine. This tells me that people found this quite interesting. Maybe what I need to do next time is to change up maybe the layout or change the background image to see how that would work. With PITS, what you'll find is, you will play around a lot with styles, a lot with the layouts of things to get that number up to see what people are really engaged with. Don't just stick to one sat style. What I would do is change it up every so often to see what happens. If you're finding that you're not really growing your PinchS account at all, then you need to be changing up the entire style and layouts and maybe even the text overlays that you're doing as well. But this gives you really good insight the analytics. On your overall stuff and your individual pins itself. What do you do once you find out your analytics? Well, you need to improve the ways you can improve is you can refresh old designs, test out new titles, try different posting times. Those are the three main ways you can do it. You can go back into some of your old pins and change those titles and you can even refresh old designs that you have. You might be that you've got, say, for example, any of the posts on the right side, you've got that style. Well, why didn't you change it up? Maybe you need to change the font, maybe you need to change the color, the layout, and see what works. And the same with titles, if you're finding that your using titles and the keywords aren't working, then maybe you should be looking at changing those keywords up. It's all about testing out. When you're starting out with Pinchur or you're still growing on Pinterest, it is a lot of trial and error before you get to the point where you're like, this is working and you might find it works for a while and then you need to change it again. But that's absolutely fine because it's good. It means things will stay fresh and consistent and your count will grow with you as well. And finally, staying consistent. What I want to say is Pinterest growth takes time, time and energy. You just need to keep creating, keep testing, keep refining. It is not an overnight success thing. But what you'll notice is that your impressions will go up, your traffic will start to increase, and you might start to try things out like the paid ads, see if they work. Or you might start trying out video or animation or even you just try out different layouts and things, but you just need to keep trying. Don't just throw some pins and keep doing the same thing over and over again and it doesn't work. Try something new. Don't be afraid to try something new, by the way. NU is exciting. NU can bring a lot of impressions to your Pinterest account and can really grow the traffic through to wherever you want to send it. But it will take time. That's the big thing with this. It takes time. Pinterest is a long term platform. It's not like Instagram or Facebook or any of those. It's not here, there. They are short lived posts. This is long term. That's what you got to think about the long term gain. Hopefully, you've enjoyed this class. It's got you thinking about setting up everything in the right way, thinking about planning. What I want you to do is go over to the project bit, do the project, and upload it so I can see that you've enjoyed it and if you have any questions, pop them on there, and I look forward to reading them all.
