[Shared]Some tips to get more pins on Pinterest
HOW TO CREATE PIN THAT PEOPLE LOVE TO SHARE ON PINTEREST?
I. About some Internet and Marketing aspects:
1. Label images:
Label images and add your details (name, logo, website,…).
Instead of labeling your image as Image 1 or Image 2 (or any other random name), label your image with a relevant name, specific to your image. It’s worth taking the time to do this, at least for the most prominent images on your site.
2. Add a link:
Add a link to the pin description that leads to the webpage to drive more traffic.
3. Write long description:
Pins with description about 200 characters long get the most repins.
4. Use Hashtags and Keywords:
Use hashtags and keywords to make your pins more searchable. The top 5 most pinned word are “love”, “home”, “things”, “style” and “ideas”.
The simplified definition of hashtags is like keywords which can be used to organize messages on a social network. This then facilitates the searching and grouping of messages with given hashtags. Hashtags are preceded by the pound sign (#) and can be a word or a short phrase.
For example:
In order to make a hashtag at Vietnam and Outsourcing in any social network, let type # before “Vietnam” and “Outsourcing” (no space character between # and the word you want to hashtag).
And the result is:
Three common mistakes to avoid:
Display your price of the product on the pin.
6. Use the right board:
Share your pins on the most relevant and engaging boards to receive maximum exposure.
7. Time it correctly:
Time your pins to go out between 2 PM and 4 PM in the afternoon and between 8 PM and 1 AM at night to get more repins.
II. About aesthetic aspects:
8. Multiple Dominant Colors:
Images with multiple dominant colors receive 3 times more than images with only one dominant color.
9. Using Vertical Images:
Images that are vertical in shape with an aspect ratio between 2:3 and 4:5 get 60% more repins than extremely tall images.
10. Use Medium Light Saturated Images:
Medium light images are repined 20 times more than very dark images.
50% saturated images received 10 times more than de-saturated images.
11. Reddish-Orange vs. Blue:
Reddish-orange images receive 2 times more repins than blue ones.
12. Alter background:
Images with less than 10% background receive 2-4 times more repins than images with more than 40% background.
13. Smooth Beats Rough:
Smooth textured images receive 17 times more repins than rough textured images.
14. Remove faces:
Images devoid of faces are repined 23% more than images with faces.
15. Be unique:
While keeping your audience in mind create unique images that standout.

And the result is:
Three common mistakes to avoid:
- Hashtagging every word (i.e. #I #am #so #excited #today)
- Hashtagging the same word more than once (i.e. It is my #birthday. Here is a photo of my #birthday cake, my #birthday presents, and my awesome #birthday party!)
- Separating keywords. If your keyword is “Virtual Assistant” your hashtag should be #Virtual Assistant. If you write it as #Virtual #Assistant this will give you two different keywords: “Virtual” and “Assistant”.
Display your price of the product on the pin.
