Create Irresistible Art and Paintings: April 2017

Pinterest rewards beautiful images.

Pinterest is an image based platform for shoppers.

Beautiful images are repinned at high rates.

which increases your visibility
because pinners are choosing images that appeal to them.

Beautiful images and incredible content are more important than SEO.

Beautiful images are repinned more than other images by other Pinterest posters

and then repinned from there
and repinned and from there
and repinned into infinity
and last forever
like a room full of mirrors.

The more people repin any pins from your account, the more visibility your account gets.

Accounts that have 100,000 pins get more visibility than those with 10 pins

The search formula favors active pinners.

The more you pin - 50 pins every day is best - the more Pinterest likes you.

You do not need to contact other pinners in order to pin from their boards.

Keep in mind there are copyright laws that apply to all images

Pinning does not assume copyright control.

Pinning someone else's images does not give you ownership of those images.

Some people have been confused about the issue of ownership and have claimed ownership of other people's property, leading to fake limits on repinning priviledges.

You can easily pin 10,000 pins just by searching Pinterest boards and pinning things you like to your boards (easy to find, easy to pin).

You will want to set up boards that fit your lifestyle theme:

products
ideas
lifestyle
clothing
hobbies
crafts
DIY
recipes
weddings

You can enjoy looking at them yourself and other pinners can find you.

People will find you while they are searching for things that interest them - that you have pinned on your boards.

Your personally created pins will be part of your Pinterest account.

You will weave your personal pins into the fabric of your tapestry by

creating boards that only have your pins on them
and adding your pins across other boards you have created.

SEO (search engine optimization) is established by

the title of the pin
the description of the pin
the pin description includes your business contact information
the image on the pin
the pin image includes your business contact information
the height of the pin (recommend height to be twice the width)
the name of the board
the description of the board
the title of the account
the account title includes your business contact information
the description of the account
accuracy and imagination are important

Information included directly on the pin's image is not read by any search engines.

Each of your personally created pins should include business contact information, such as a website address.

High volume activity posting your images and repinning other pins increases the value of all your pins in the public search results.

Search for themes you like

Follow people who have pins you like
Repin their pins to your boards.

Following other pinners

copies their pins as they update their boards
many of them will show up in your feed
revisit their boards to repin more content
subjects you repin will influence the pins that show up in your feed.

If they like your beautiful images and/or incredible content, they will follow you and repin from your boards.

People usually follow boards of interest which may be reciprocated.

The more boards you have

the more visitors you will get
the more people will follow you
the more likely people will buy your product.

Create a few subject boards for beautiful images and incredible content from others to supplement your lifestyle-theme.

Continue to create subject boards on a continuous basis.

Share freely = more views = more followers = more views = more sales.

What you share comes back to you.

It multiplies.

Create your number one premium board for your beautiful images and incredible content that illustrates a lifestyle or theme that includes and illustrates your product.

A successful pin

attracts attention
holds the viewer
connects to something the viewer wants or needs
is repinned by the viewer to his/her Pinterest board
where it can continue being repinned into infinity.

You will gain followers if you are an active pinner and become a source of beautiful and incredible content.

No "friending or sharing of personal information" is necessary to repin or follow.

Copyright information should be subtle but recognizable on all images and content.

Pinterest does not reward vulgar or violent content/images.

How to sell on Pinterest
Art, Products and Services.

Pinterest pins last forever and ever and can be seen by millions.

Use Pinterest for your benefit.

Home decorating, recipes, DIY and weddings are high interest pins on Pinterest.

Every store in the world has been an inspiration for at least one other person, just as you have been inspired by others.

Don't be afraid of a few people copying.
Keep creating.
Post low resolution photographs, 72 dpi with a legible and low impact logo or text i.d.
There is no penalty on Pinterest for identifying marks, they are expected and encouraged, but they should not be overwhelming.
Copyright - keep files with screen shots, dated photographs and dated files on your computer, in case you have to prove your copyright.
Copyright - keep file photos on Facebook in an album, which can be public or private. Facebook dates every post, which can be used to prove your copyright.
Copyright - keep file photos of your products on Twitter. Twitter dates and keeps your posts, which can prove your copyright.

Research and pin photos from Pinterest.

Do your research, pin lots of things from others that you like to develop your brand and lifestyle in themed boards.
Set up boards for your images, products, stock.
Set up lots of boards of complimentary lifestyle items.
Mix your items (with subtlety) into all the boards.
When you pin items directly from your website, Pinterest makes a link back to your website inside the pin, so a click on your pin takes them to your website.
Or add a link to your website in a keyword rich description.

Your brand is composed of your lifestyle images and themes on your boards.

The images on your boards are setting the stage and telling a story for your products.

Sales - Pinterest is not a store that you rent or pay fees to for your sales. It does not have rules on how to run your business.

Sales - Pinterest will not interfere in your managing of your business policies.

Sales - You have to have your own website or selling site for sales.

Copyrights of Artists.

Issues - Pinterest will delete images after receiving a notice of unauthorized use of an image.
Issues - Website owners can use code to block Pinterest pinning off of their web images.
Issues - Pinning off of Google and websites can result in infringement complaints, but the benefits of being on Pinterest are very positive and most artists accept it.
Issues - Pinterest is a pinning site, members are encouraged to pin from outside sources - being sensitive to the property of others, giving full credit to the owner and not representing it as your own.

Estmates are that about 150,000,000 users a month are using Pinterest as of Oct 2016.

At least half of the users are looking for something to buy.
Pinterest sales from click thru and referrals average $80 per sale, compared to $40 on other platforms.
Total number of Pinterest pins is approximately 50 billion.
Pinterest appeals primarily to women but men are rapidly increasing in numbers.
Pinterest is for window shopping, direct shopping and has its own search engine.

Your pins have an automatic link back to the source, such as your website if you pin from your website instead of from your computer. You can add links to any of your website pages in the description by typing in the page url where you want to link.

When you pin something, it has a shelf life of months, years, and forever, because they don't go away and can be recycled indefinitely.

Your images can be repinned by other users. They can be seen from space. The international space station has internet.

Google reads Pinterest descriptions and shows pins in their search results.

Only Facebook has more traffic. Facebook is less of a search engine and more of a social club.

There are no marketing costs unless you choose to use their promotions.

Provide good, detailed, useful descriptions and keywords for searches.

What is it made out of - leather, brass, linen, cotton, gem stones, and more?
Who is it for - mom, dad, husband, wife, child, significant other and more?
What does it do that is useful and enjoyable and will improve my life?
What is the connection to your lifestyle brand?
What is the look and feel of the brand products?

Your images should include a variety of things that have beauty and personality - to learn, improve, enrich and/or buy - that are actionable.
You are sharing interesting things in an interesting format to expand or create new interests.

The most appealing details should be sharp and clear.
Action shots are high value.
Pins should be attractive and informational.
Pins can show 3 or 4 views of your product.

Long pins are the most effective.
The platform is a vertical layout.
Pins can be as large as 4.1 inches by 8.3 inches, 300x600 pixels at 72 pixels per inch (web standard).
Your logo or text should be small but legible in a corner of the image.

Keywords and information are added under the pin in the description.

Pinterest provides statistics about views and saves.

Pinterest does not require establishing personal relationships for viewing of boards.

Pinterest rewards volume pinning, which comes naturally because the site is overwhelmingly loaded with great content.

Pinterest does not encourage or reward sharing personal information in order to make sales.

"Following" is useful and optional.

There are some individuals who don't want to be followed or repinned.
Some want to be followed but not repinned.
They have pinned all kinds of insulting pins which you may or may not see until after they block you.
Don't be swayed by this nonsense.
Pinterest fully approves of repinning, it is the foundation of the platform.
Pinterest has created secret boards that allow you to pin confidentially.
Following will bring excellent content you enjoy into your feed and may gain you some followers.

Pinterest searches will bring people to your boards, based on keywords and visuals.

Take note of dates on infographics while researching specific information on Pinterest, many are out of date. If something gets repinned, there is no way to get it back to change it.

There are many Pinterest instruction videos on Youtube.
