07/10/12 Tuesday Training: Using Pinterest For Business: Keywords, Hashtags, and Links!
Posted Tuesday, July 10th, 2012 by Lindsay Dicks What is Pinterest? Pinterest is the world’s fastest growing social media platform to ever grace the interner, reaching more than 10 million followers faster than Twitter and Facebook. On Pinterest, “trending” images, with links back to the original source, can get Pinned and Repinned on thousands of virtual display boards! Using Pinterest For business:
Businesses have caught on to this popular visual marketing tool, using Pinterest to grow their brand and promote their online presence! Not only can businesses generate buzz with attention-grabbing images, but they can also use Pinterest to build links for that sought after 3rd party verification! So, before your business becomes the next CELEBRITY on Pinterest, you need to understand the value of keywords, hashtags, and links on this! Keywords and Hashtags:
When creating a description for a new Pin, you can optimize your Pin by adding specific keywords that users are most likely going to type in when searching for specific content on Pinterest! You need to think: what are people searching? For example, say you are a fitness expert, and you want to post a wonderful eye-catching photo of a healthy recipe, with a link back to your website. When coming up with keywords to use for your Pin description, you probably do not want to use the same language that you would use when speaking to another fitness expert. Avoid industry jargon, and stick to what you know people will be typing in! You may also wish to add hashtags to “tag” your Pin. For example, you might add “#healthy or #fitness to the end of your Pin. You may add as many as you like, but remember that too many hashtags can look like spam! So, having too many actually work against you! Links: Be sure to add links to your company website and your other social media platforms on your Pinterest profile!
When posting a new Pin, you can also bring users to specific web pages on your website by adding the specific URL in your Pin description Now that you know how to optimize your marketing strategy on Pinterest by adding specific keywords, unique hashtags and linking pins back to your website, you can become a CELEBRITY Pinner and grow your onine presence! You can create a Pinterest catalog, host a competition and even Pin special offers—all linking back to YOUR site for that 3rd party verification!

     “It’s always scary changing your website even when you know you need an update. Lots of times you feel like you are on an island and the people developing your website could care less if they respond to your concerns or not. Not only did Lindsay and her staff stay in constant contact with me through the entire process, they responded immediately to each question, and improved on my own ideas for the site. They thought of things that I would have never considered and have also taken my haphazard social media postings and formed a consistent strategy that is sure to blow the doors off anything I have done before. I feel like I have gotten many times over my money’s worth already. Thanks Lindsay and team!”

CNBC Contacted me because of Celebrity Sites®!
I just wanted to take a moment to say WOW! My last website took many years and many versions to never quite get what I wanted. In less than 30 days you guys designed and built a brand new website that I love and now, not even 60 days since it’s been live, I’m starting to get calls from television producers! Just last week I got a call from CNBC because they were searching for financial experts to feature on a new show they are launching and they found me thanks to my new website. This is incredible, thanks so much for the great experience. Anyone who isn’t taking advantage of your unique expertise of Celebrity Branding business people online is missing the boat in many ways!

 Honestly, you guys are the best. I appreciate all that you do and will do for your clients. You guys really go one step and beyond and I will recommend you to everyone.

 “The online world is a great place to make money and gain notoriety but it can be a tremendous waste of resources if you don’t have the right team working with you. When my previous consulting company was charging me outrageous prices and failing to deliver time and time again, I turned to Celebrity Sites®. Since then my online campaigns have turned around 180 degrees! Its great having Celebrity Sites® on my team, helping me grow my business and my profits. Don’t wait until its too late, call them today. Trust me, you can’t afford to wait!”
