If you want to stand out amongst 175 million pins, you\u2019ll need an effective and unique formula.<\/p>\n<p>Understand Pinterest<\/p>\n<p>To understand how to go viral you first need to understand Pinterest. It\u2019s very different from other social media because it\u2019s a visual search engine and not a form of social media.<\/p>\n<p>You need to create boards and a profile rich in keywords and SEO optimized content. The exciting feature with Pinterest is the endless potential for generating leads and sales from every single pin.<\/p>\n<p>Perfect Sized Pins:<\/p>\n<p>The first step in creating Viral Pins is to get the size and layout of your design right. Pinterest sets out ground rules for the size of all their pins.<br \/>\nBest size &#8211; 1000&#215;1500 pixels &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Studies have shown the following features all impact how much engagement you receive on your pins:<\/p>\n<p>Lighter images get 20x more repins than dark images<br \/>\nReddish, orange and yellow images get 2x more repins than blue colors<br \/>\nUsing High-quality images helps grab people\u2019s attention<br \/>\nFont \u2013 avoid script fonts as they\u2019re difficult to read when scrolling<\/p>\n<p>Now you have the perfect size dimensions for your pins, you can create them in a site like Canva. Canva is a social media image creator, which is free to use so it\u2019s the perfect place to design your pins.<\/p>\n<p>2. Impressive Images for Viral Pins<\/p>\n<p>Pinterest is a visual search engine, the images you use influence the level of leads and sales you receive. Viral pins go nuts on Pinterest because people are attracted by high colors, color contrasts, and your font.<\/p>\n<p>So to maximize engagement, look for high-quality images which support the niche and message of your pin.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for free images for your pins, you can find plenty of them on these sites:<\/p>\n<p>Pexels<br \/>\nUnsplash<br \/>\nPixabay<\/p>\n<p>If would like to find more exclusive images you can find some great paid images in:<\/p>\n<p>Canva<br \/>\nShutterstock<br \/>\nDeposit Photos<\/p>\n<p>Tips &#8211; Use contrasting colors in your image and text to help your title really stand out.

All you need to do is enter a couple of words from your title into the search bar.<\/p>\n<p>Pinterest offers a range of keywords directly underneath your search. As you write your Pin description, bear in mind that few people actually read them.<br \/>\nPin description is a technique to assist Pinterest in understanding the content of your pin.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a handy template of what to include:<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s your post\/product all about?<br \/>\nWho is it ideal for? (Mums, couples, children, travelers)<br \/>\nWhat\u2019s the problem this post\/product solves?<br \/>\nIs there an opt-in offer or freebie?<br \/>\nFollowing this format gives you ample opportunity to share details about your content rich with keywords.<\/p>\n<p>5. Hashtags in Pinterest<\/p>\n<p>Now in 2019, hashtags are acceptable again in Pinterest. Placing your hashtags after the description bolsters your Pin SEO, so they\u2019re a super idea! Just be wary not to use any more than 5-6 of them.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as you type the hashtag symbol #, then begin writing your tag, Pinterest auto-suggests words along with showing the popularity of the tags.<\/p>\n<p>This is a fantastic way of finding the best hashtags to use on your pins.<\/p>\n<p>When selecting your hashtags, it\u2019s important to understand that:<\/p>\n<p>Hashtags should be used to group similar content material together as it boosts your search success in Pinterest<br \/>\nThe tags you choose are really to help Pinterest understand what your pin is about<br \/>\nAs you decide upon your tags, look for ways of introducing different terminology to broaden your exposure to a wider audience.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you get the best hashtags for each of your pins and boost your search success.<\/p>\n<p>6.
