Use themes to find keyword ideas
Keyword research - type in a keyword at the Pinterest search bar
Make notes of all the suggestions - use the blocks under the search bar
Repeat this exercise frequently for SEO improvements and testing

Set up a Pinterest account - Choose a business account

Create some boards that fit the lifestyle of your target audience

Name your boards - use some keywords in the title and description
Select a category
Note that the categories are popular topics for searches on Pinterest
Select pins and categories that would appeal to your target customers
Select beautiful pins
Curate your pins to reflect the interests of your customers, not just your interests, and be consistent in your message
Your account should have at least six categories
Each board should have at least 10 pins, 50+ is better
Your categories should support your theme and a consistent identity
Pin from the search results
The more you pin to your boards, the more views your account will get
Pin the most attractive with the best content
Pin some things - use search to find appropriate pins
You can add information in the pin descriptions - keywords
Repeat this exercise frequently
Create some secret boards for pins only you can see
Move pins from secret boards to your public boards strategically

Create your pins of your own products

Beautiful images are more important than content
But content is very important
Describe you product - enthusiastically - its purpose
Does it solves a problem
Does it creates a mood
Does it appeal to status
Does it provide beauty - very important
Does it have an inspirational or encouraging message
Does it have a useful or helpful function
Is it appealing for moms with kids - clothes, stuffed animals, toys
Sarcasm and rudeness are not good business strategies
Create some boards just for your products
Occasionally, when pinning to your theme life style boards, include some pins of your products in an 80/20 ratio
Your product pins should have their own boards in the front two rows

Your pins - include an image, website, subtle watermark or logo
