Why should web designers use Pinterest?
Using Pinterest to share your projects and portfolio
Have you ever wanted to share your projects, but didn’t know where to start? Well, look no further than Pinterest!
For example, you can create a board for each project you’ve worked on and then link to each project via the URL of its landing page on your website. That way, it’s easy for people who are looking for certain types of work to find what they’re looking for—and they can see your portfolio in one place! Don’t forget to optimize the board description with keywords related to the project itself. For example, you can create a board where you will share all the web design projects for different niches.
How to use Pinterest to grow your web design business?
- Create your business account.
- Claim your website.
- Enable Rich Pins.
- Fill out your profile.
- Make sure to do a proper keyword research
- Create the right boards and fill them with great content that people will want to pin from!
Optimize your board descriptions
Board descriptions are a vital part of the Pinterest marketing strategy. They are one of the first things people see when they visit your board and can draw them in or turn them away.
Here are some tips:
- Use your keywords in the board description. This will help with SEO and make it easier for people to find you through Pinterest searches, as long as you use them correctly.
- Make sure that every one of your boards has an appropriate title (the name of the board) and description (the text below it). The title should be unique, but you can reuse descriptions if all else fails—just make sure that each description fits its board perfectly!
- The keyword density for board descriptions is around 1-2 percent maximum.
Put your keywords in the pins’ descriptions
- Put your keywords in the Pins’ descriptions.
- Make sure the description is relevant to the pin.
- Make sure it’s long enough.
- You can add a call to action in your description.
- You can use hashtags in your description
Create high-quality images with text overlays
Pin consistently and frequently
Pinning frequently is crucial to gain traction on Pinterest. You need to post new content regularly so that you can maintain your audience engaged. This will help as Pinterest will see you as an active member of their platform.
When you’re pinning, it’s important to consider what kind of content works well on Pinterest. You’ll want to look at popular pins, and relevant pins and ask yourself “does this belong?” If the answer is yes, then go ahead and add it!
Use Story Pins
Use Story Pins if possible: these look similar to Facebook Stories but are only visible to people who follow you directly instead of being shared publicly like most other things posted through Pinterest profiles/pages do (including regular image posts). This means there’s less competition since only fans can see them which can result in better engagement rates overall!
