IF YOU WANT MORE REPINS
PIN IMAGES DIRECTLY FROM
WEBSITES OR UPLOAD THEM.
CREATE THE 20% OF PINS
THAT GET REPINED REPEATEDLY.

7. #SocialPro #23A1 @matt_siltala#SocialPro #23A1 @matt_siltala
THEREFORE CREATE EVERGREEN
CONTENT THAT WILL CONTINUE
TO BE REPINED AND CLICKED ON
FOR MONTHS.

HENCE ADD RELEVANT
DESCRIPTIONS THAT
ASK FOR CLIENTS CLICKS,
REPINS, LIKES OR COMMENTS

10. #SocialPro #23A1 @matt_siltala#SocialPro #23A1 @matt_siltala
MAKE SURE WEBSITES ARE MOBILE READY

GET IT VERIFIED VS MAKING
IT A PERSONAL ACCOUNT

13. #SocialPro #23A1 @matt_siltala#SocialPro #23A1 @matt_siltala
USING KEYWORD RICH
DESCRIPTIONS OF BOARDS
(HOLIDAYS, DEMOGRAPHICS
AND THEMES ETC) AS WELL
AS CREATING SHARED BOARDS

14. #SocialPro #23A1 @matt_siltala#SocialPro #23A1 @matt_siltala
KEEP THE
DESCRIPTION MORE
GENERAL AND
ACTUALLY
DESCRIBE THE PIN
IN IT. I.E. DO NOT
PUT SOMETHING
LIKE “WOULD BE SO
FUN FOR JENNY’S
BIRTHDAY!”
INSTEAD, “GREAT
40TH BIRTHDAY
CAKE IDEA”.

15. #SocialPro #23A1 @matt_siltala#SocialPro #23A1 @matt_siltala
A TITLE THAT IS
EMBEDDED INTO THE
IMAGE WILL HELP IT
POP AND GET MORE
PINS/SHARES. THIS
WAY YOUR CONTENT
REMAINS INTACT
EVEN IF USERS
CHANGE THE
DESCRIPTION WHEN
THEY RE-PIN.

16. #SocialPro #23A1 @matt_siltala#SocialPro #23A1 @matt_siltala
SPECIFIC BOARDS WILL
HELP YOU IN THE
FUTURE. FOR EXAMPLE,
HAVING “BREAKFAST
RECIPES, APPETIZER
RECIPES, DINNER
RECIPES, AND DESSERT
RECIPES” PIN BOARDS
WILL MAKE EASIER FOR
YOU TO FIND A PIN IN THE
FUTURE, RATHER THAN IF
THEY ARE ALL LUMPED
INTO ONE BOARD CALLED
"RECIPES”.

17. #SocialPro #23A1 @matt_siltala#SocialPro #23A1 @matt_siltala
WHAT MESSAGE DOES YOUR
BRAND WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED
WITH AND PIN THOSE KINDS
OF THINGS.
