Pinterest Marketing for Printables!

[@heartbeatsalad4909]

Interesting, I still have no idea what I'm doing on Pinterest, but my reasoning for filling out the alt text myself was to make it more accessible for visually impaired people. I had no idea, that this was something that helps in SEO as well! Thanks so much for this video, it's helped a lot to make things more clear and gave me lots of ideas on how to tackle marketing through it.

[@MeyTribe]

Because it's that "floating text" for visually impaired people, is why Google "reads" it :) And knows what it's about, as Google's "robots" are also visually impaired :) Happy you liked this video :)

[@samanthairving5517]

I'm your biggest fan, I've just set up a payhip and was wondering wat next... this is great, I'm spending my day today setting up my Pinterest and going with all your advice.... tank you for everything,

[@BohemiaLost]

You've taught me so much about Pinterest. I'm one of the ones who hadn't a clue about Alt Text. I'd only used it for personal stuff before. So thank you. Hope all is good in your world. :)

[@MeyTribe]

Using Pinterest in a personal way is also having knowledge that people who went in straight for marketing never knew :) I was at a lecture about Pinterest in 2012, when it was still "new" and the info there seems to have gone lost since. My world is challenging now LOL Trying to figure out the schedule with maybe needing to travel in June and not in July, but I'll sort it out

[@charisseva]

Amazing tutorial Mey. Didn’t know about alt+txt, and pinning in a non compete way is very helpful. You are a natural in front of the camera too. 👍

[@MeyTribe]

Ohhhh thanks LOL Honestly ? the whole "in front of a camera" was such a work in progress. My first video- I rewatched it recently and I'm like "what's wrong with you??" screaming to myself for being so awkward LOL

[@charisseva]

@@MeyTribe hahaha! It’s always a process and I’m glad you went on to make more videos. They are very helpful and easy to digest 👍 ☺️ oh by the way, is it better to create sections than creating a separate board?

[@MeyTribe]

@@charisseva Oh wow, KZbin doesn't show me replies to comments, so sorry ! It';s better to have multiple boards, each with sections :) not either/or, but both :)

[@jimjuris]

Thank you very much, because of you I will now be pinning pins that are related to my pins but that don't compete with me. I did not know this before watching this great video.

[@MeyTribe]

That's the number 1 most important Pinterest play :) Glad you watched it and wishing you luck

[@annabellak.2864]

This is great, Mey, thank you. I'm just trying to start Pinterest for business. I was thinking about pinning planning tips for printable planners as non-competing pins before, but you gave me so many more ideas!! :D My one worry is if for the things I want to sell I only pin my own stuff, then some boards may have just 1-2 pins for a long time until I make some more products (if I make more in a certain category at all - I guess I should). This still holds me back a bit. After watching some of your videos I'm amazed by your creativity. Both in thinking outside of the box, coming up with ideas, and in your Canva workarounds to beat its limitations. :D

[@MeyTribe]

Well, why 1-2 pins? You can make 1,000 pins for the same listing :)

[@annabellak.2864]

@@MeyTribe Hmm, you're right. I didn't think about that. 😁 Thanks.

[@donnaconnolly4852]

I always thought that you can only create maybe 10 pens with one listing because you might get accused of spamming. Do you know how many times you can re-create a product from the same listing. Some say no more than ten. Since I sell greeting cards and I may have a set of four, I thought I was probably only limited to about 20 pins or so for that listing even when changing them up some.

[@basedinbox]

Hey Mey, thanks for this video. But please could you elaborate on the differences between boards and sections, and how to pin others pins effectively. 😘

[@MeyTribe]

Well, on Pinterest you set up boards, and they have sections. Like a category- with sub categories. So for example- you can make a board for printable coloring books, with sections for each book. OR- a board for home decor, with sections on types of decor.

[@Art-ifishl_Intelligence]

Great video!!

[@MeyTribe]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Starrdust86]

Another greatly informative video Mey! I feel like after a solid year of consuming and putting to practice all your info, one HAS to succeed!! A question I have- for clarity is this: If I have say a Payhip store and it currently has a variety of products, can I have 1 Pinterest account and just separate the niches with boards?

[@anneirox]

I would send 100 likes if I can. You’re such a joy to watch.

[@MeyTribe]

That's adorable, thanks :)

[@Monica-py6un]

Do you think it’s important for follow Google SEO recommendations when adding ALT TEXT? Thank you, your video was great. It showed me how many mistakes I did with Pinterest at the beginning.

[@MeyTribe]

It's always good to follow what Google wants you to do :)

[@lyndalavigne9279]

Great Video! how do you save your listing? didn't quite catch that

[@MeyTribe]

Not sure I understand... (did you mean pins?) You either save a pin from a website using the pin button extension, or the default of the website. or when adding manual pins you simply choose the board/section and click on it to save it.

[@angieanderson1313]

So much to take in! And such valuable information ... thank you! Quick question: I already have a personal Pinterest account. Is it better to create a linked business account linked to my personal account? Or create a whole new account with a different email address? What are the pros & cons? Thank you - again ! :-)

[@MeyTribe]

I never tried linking 2 Pinterest accounts, so I can't say... I just have different ones with different emails. Though you can try to create a linked one. I think that the main thing that matters won't be that... BUT- your uploading consistency and interaction within Pinterest.

Hello! Thanks for interesting video! I have a question about boards on Pinterest. Should I share other same content pins, mixing them with my own, which I sell? And else - how should I call such boards? Common name, like for example "Digital Cliparts" or just call the board my business name?

[@MeyTribe]

You should def combine the pins you create with pins from Pinterest itself ! How to call your boards? That is totally based on what you upload there... If you are selling clipart I'd recommend making a board for each type of clipart style/theme. If you sell clipart, patterns, digital paper packs, fonts... make a board about each, and diversify the niche or theme within that board with sections. You can also re-pin pins talking about using these elements If your pinterest is about many things, and you want one board for your products- name that after the business, ONLY if the business contains the right keywords, as board names and section names are for SEO. Maybe the entire Pinterest account should be your business name ?

[@silverstonelt3040]

@@MeyTribe thank you very much for help ! ❤️🌸

[@get2craft]

Hi Mey, I'm just starting on Pinterest, so still confused as to how to use Pinterest. I created a business account. Bit I have two completely different shops on Etsy, so do I create two different Pinterest accounts for each shop, or do I create different boards, or how doest that work? Also, in one of my shops, I sell printable junk journal pages and kits (something I create from scratch), so if I made a board called "Printable Junk Journal Kits" - so if I see posts about junk journal glues or other supplies, do i put that in that board, or do i create a different board like "Junk Journal Supplies"? I'm so confused!

[@MeyTribe]

Hey :) Not sure if your two shops are good to be placed under the same pinterest account- as you've only mentioned one of them. If the other is all about baby onesies and baby clothes- yeah- two different shops. If the other is journals- 1 account can be ok.

[@get2craft]

@@MeyTribe thank you Mey :) the second one is printable greeting cards and party favors (and wall art). Also, I know that Pinterest lets you create 4 profiles under one email, so i just do that? or do i need a different email to set up a completely unrelated profile? Sorry, I'm new to Pinterest :)

[@serbiatiapleteniceafricanb6508]

[@MeyTribe]

[@donbentley2207]

Can you put your pins on more than one board?

[@magdalenamitek1696]

One more thing related to the description: Does Pinterest prefer full sentences with keywords, or do phrases with commas also rank the same?

[@MeyTribe]

I have not tested that to be sure... :/

[@janethomas757]

Great video! I create digital templates. Resumes, invoices, planners, recipes what would be my non-compete pins?

[@MeyTribe]

There are so many pins about women in business (or people in general) - How to get ready for a job interview, how to organize time, and for recipes- everything that has to do with the kitchen and cooking.

[@janethomas757]

@@MeyTribe THANK YOU! I need to think 'outside the box'

[@nelrambleson2641]

So how would this be any different if the shop you're promoting sells anything other than printables?

[@KelliDBH]

Thank you Mey. You said to have a different Pinterest account for your different products not just different boards within the same Pinterest account?

[@MeyTribe]

I have had different Pinterest accounts for different niched blogs. You can have multiple accounts, or just one, it's all up to you and how targeted are your designs. If you have very different art to promote- it's best to do it with 2 accounts, but if it is all connected in style or product type- one account is just fine !

[@KelliDBH]

Mey are your different accounts all business accounts? I assume you only use one business name.

[@MeyTribe]

@@KelliDBH They are all made as business accounts so i will have better statistics,. And each of them is named after the blog it was set up for.

[@KelliDBH]

So you do not just have one business name? Sorry about the confusion.

[@MeyTribe]

@@KelliDBH I'm also confused LOL I have 1 business name in my country- in terms of the name of my official business, for taxes. but I have had over 120 blogs and websites in the past decade, all with different names based on the topic of the blog- hence social media channels with these names.

Hi, in which program did you make the mandalas? :)

[@MeyTribe]

The specific ones here were made with Clip Studio Paint, but I also do mandalas using Procreate these days. I was showing the mandala creation process with CSP here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4ebhJaVjqZmpbc Though it was more like a mandala art, than coloring page.

[@KrislynRules]

Do you use Tailwind for scheduling your pins for Pinterest?

Nope. I have never tried them with my Pinterest accounts so far. But I might start using them for the coloring pages website I am working on. If I do- I will keep you guys updated :)

[@subtleday]

How have you used it so far ? Getting traffic from Pinterest is a result of : Good keywords, good product, good pin design, and the behaviour inside the platform. With any social media we have problems with we can choose to either- learn it better, or just move on to another one :)
