Anybody can make Pinboards, share them, and even collaborate with friends and other pinners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since Pinterest can bring traffic from Google searches as well, keep SEO in mind while naming your boards. Organize and categorize your Pins on a variety of boards so that your followers can easily search for and follow the boards that interest them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5231\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/28212200\/bodystyle-boardsPINBOARDS-300x229.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"903\" height=\"690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/28212200\/bodystyle-boardsPINBOARDS-300x229.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/28212200\/bodystyle-boardsPINBOARDS-1024x783.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/28212200\/bodystyle-boardsPINBOARDS-768x587.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/28212200\/bodystyle-boardsPINBOARDS.png 1413w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 903px) 100vw, 903px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pinterest Boards Tutorial 2023 \/\/ How to Create PINTEREST BOARDS as a Beginner!\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3UvSkZNiSRY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h6><strong>REPIN OTHER CONTENT<\/strong><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One great thing about Pinterest is that you don&#8217;t need a ton of original content to get started. You can start off by pinning and creating boards of content that already exists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re just starting out, make sure you have at least five boards with 20 pins each at a minimum. To create more visibility, repin or save other people&#8217;s pins to one or more of your pinboards.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h6><strong>CREATE IDEA PINS<\/strong><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Idea Pin contains multiple images or videos. Similar to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flintzy.com\/blog\/2020\/03\/15\/9-must-know-hacks-use-instagram-stories-to-get-more-visibility-for-your-youtube-channel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flintzy.com\/blog\/2020\/04\/27\/why-every-creator-must-post-youtube-stories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YouTube stories<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but the catch here is that they don\u2019t disappear after 24 hrs and stay in your feed forever!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another plus point is that you don\u2019t have to follow a person to see their idea pins. They can appear at the top of viewers&#8217; home feeds months or even years later. Idea pins receive <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/louisem.com\/395169\/pinterest-idea-pins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9x higher engagement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than regular pins or videos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this feature, you can share snippets of your content, tutorials, step-by-step guides, share your story, convince pinners to follow you, and redirect them to your channel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pinterest Idea Pins (aka Story Pins) WHAT &amp; WHY \/\/ How to Grow on Pinterest in 2022\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N_tBo24j7qk?start=123&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h6><strong>USE KEYWORDS STRATEGICALLY<\/strong><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the right keywords in your Pin Titles and Descriptions boosts your chances of appearing in a Google search. So make sure your Pin title matches your YouTube video title. If you have already done your keyword research for your YouTube video, sprinkle them in your Pin titles and descriptions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pinterest Descriptions can be up to 500 characters. Make the most of them by talking to your audience about your pin&#8217;s purpose. Since Pinterest supports a more conversational atmosphere, avoid cluttering your content with too many keywords and talk to your audience in simple, everyday language.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Write The PERFECT Pin Description &amp; Rank In Pinterest Search | THECONTENTBUG\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3BEM-ZlAW80?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5224\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/28210309\/title-description-link-pin-300x222.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"797\" height=\"590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/28210309\/title-description-link-pin-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/28210309\/title-description-link-pin-1024x758.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/28210309\/title-description-link-pin-768x568.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/28210309\/title-description-link-pin.jpg 1035w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 797px) 100vw, 797px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h6><strong>POST SNIPPETS THAT HOOK<\/strong><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pinterest allows you to include a &#8220;destination link&#8221; to your pins. This means you can automatically redirect viewers to your YouTube channel. So, post small snippets of your YouTube video that hooks viewers and drives them to watch the entire thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch how YouTuber <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pin.it\/2bkYOgN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dhar Mann<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> uses Pinterest to create buzz around his channel.

With Group boards you can collaborate with other pinners and share your own ideas about a specific topic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you\u2019re a fashion creator, you can join a fashion group board where pinners are looking for fashion ideas.
