Bear Bell Productions 14 day Pinterest challenge

Bear Bell Productions 14 day Pinterest challenge - student project

I'm Bärbel Dressler, founder & designer of Bear Bell Productions where I create surface & pattern design for business around the world and I also teach classes on pattern design, drawing & illustration and coloring with markers here on Skillshare.

For me and my business it's important to drive traffic to my website where I can present my products and services to my two main target groups: 1) Companies in need of patterns and artwork for their products and branding, 2) Fellow creatives who want's to learn more about pattern design & illustration.

You can find me here:
- Website, with blog, portfolio, business section, creatives section and library of free resources.
- My Skillshare profile page & current courses.
- Instagram
- Pinterest

I've been using Pinterest more actively for about a year so I'm a bit familiar with having a Pinterest strategy already, but this class gave me some more and new information and inspiration on how to use this platform as a designer and teacher. And most of all, to do this 14 day challenge to see if I can boost my traffic some more since I've been on a Pinterest break for a while.

My goal for the challenge is to increase traffic to my website with the help of Pinterest.

Here is my starting point for the challenge:

These are the actions I've taken so far for improving my account:
(already had a business account)
- Edited my name/headline (It was way too long before, trying to squeeze in as many keywords as I could.
- Rewrote the short presentation/introduction.
- Changed my profile image so I have the same on my different platforms. And to an image where I was smiling :-)
- Cleaned up my pinboards. I had quite a lot and merged some, deleted some that I never used and felt redundant.
- Rearranged my boards and placed the ones I think is most important at the top.
- Started creating sections to some of the boards and will continue to organize the larger ones.

Pinning:

I've pinned most days (forgot a couple of days) since I started the challenge. Both repins from others and some new from my website.

To be continued....
