07/03/12 Tuesday Training: Happy Pinning! How to Add a “Pin it” Button
Posted Tuesday, July 3rd, 2012 by Lindsay Dicks What is Pinterest? Pinterest is the fastest growing social media platform ever, reaching more than 10 million followers faster than Twitter or even Facebook. “Trending” images (with links back to the original source) can get Pinned and Repinned on thousands of display boards! Why Pinterest? Originally, the only images that were trending on Pinterest were creative recipes and wedding ideas; but this social media powerhouse has grown to be so much more than that! Now, trending images can consist of various products, or images linked with useful tips and services! Perhaps your business is hosting an event—take pictures and Pin-it! Think of creative ways to Pin what you do Businesses have caught on to this popular visual marketing tool, using it to grow their dollars and promote their online presence! With Pinterest, you can easily build links and advocate your brand! But before you can become a CELEBRITY on Pinterest, you need to know how to install the “Pin-It” button to your website! How do I start Pinning? So, now that you are brainstorming which images you want to use to grow your business, lets install a “Pin-It” button that allows users to easily Pin images right off your website! If you have a WordPress, the work is done for you When you sign in to WordPress, just go to Settings on your Dashboard then click Sharing and make sure you add the “Pin-it” button to automatically be available on all of your posts! If you do not have a WordPress, you will need to add your “Pin-it” button manually. Here’s the code you’ll use to place the “Pin-it” button on your blog in each of your blog posts: <a href=”javascript:void((function(){var%20e=document.createElement(’script’);e.setAttribute(’type’,'text/javascript’);e.setAttribute(’charset’,'UTF-8′);e.setAttribute(’src’,'http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r=’+Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e)})());”><img alt=”Pin It!” style=’border: none;’ src=”INSERT IMAGE URL HERE”/></a> If you do not have a blog and want the “Pin-It” button to be present on your traditional website, Pinterest has made it easy for you! Go to this link http://pinterest.com/about/goodies/. This page allows you to enter your website information so that individual images can have a “Pin-it” option! Now that you know HOW to make your images “Pinnable,” you can begin to explore the powers of Pinterest and become a CELEBRITY online! You can create an online catalog, host a competition, Pin a business event, and even Pin special offers Related posts:

     “Thanks for everything! We’re crushing last year’s numbers, already. Thanks for helping us spread the word!”
-Neill Foshee, Senior Equity Advisor, Hidden Wealth System
 Just wanted to take a minute to thank Celebrity Sites. Making that first impression of what our business is about is very important.
Celebrity Sites has done more in just a couple of months than we did in the last 6 years which was nothing because we tried different things but were just were not on track. You knew where to start and how to get there in lighting speed. You guys not only listened to our ideas but gave some great ideas. Whenever we needed to talk to you, you were right there, by email or phone – you name it, you responded. We are so excited every day to see Larry’s Big Idea take shape. The website is second to none thanks to Lindsay and is improving weekly. The ideas that Jack and Nick come up with at each meeting are awesome.
If anyone out there is considering launching their business to just the next level forget it. Get in the elevator with Celebrity Sites and they will take you to the top floor (Penthouse). Stay tuned for more!

 “I just got off the phone with a reporter for SmartMoney.com for an article about foreclosures that’s going to run on AOL.com in about 2 weeks! She found me by searching on Google and found the press release you did that announced me as a new “expert” for AgentDirectNews.com. Then she went to my website and liked what she saw so she called me up! Imagine, being quoted in an AOL Real Estate story…you can’t BUY that kind of exposure at any price! I knew I was making the right choice to work with you guys and now that has been confirmed ten fold! Thanks for all of your help!”

 Thanks Celebrity Sites®! With your help we just got picked up on a worldwide site for our music buffet option. They even put it on the front page of their site as a “breakthrough”! Our site, art and design looks fantastic. Well done! We couldn’t do it without you!”
