Post Your Work For Pinterest Promotion

Pinterest has been working out well for me for sales, especially iphone cases. As far as i can see, my most highly pinned items are a couple of my best selling prints and have the most views out of all my images. This thread is to promote each other via pinterest.

PIN at least one or two images from the people above you and POST ONE image that you would like to PIN to pinterest. Pinterest works best with descriptions so be sure to add some descriptive words to the image that you pin for someone else. Make sure you Pinterest button is enabled on your photo for this to work for your art.

Here's mine:

If you think you have sales related to pinterest from your popular pinned items share those too!

THanks everyone, keep it going~ I pinned everyone but would be great to get lots more people in here :)

Since yesterday, my image above has twelve new views and 2 more pins. If you see views from Beverly Hills or New York right after you pin photos, that's the pinterest system "bots" I believe, but it seems to come up regularly when I see new pins of the images.

This image is my most pinned (you can see in the top right where your likes etc are). It is also the only image that I have had four sales on. Two iphone cases and two framed prints, so I am sure those came directly or indirectly from pinterest.

I started a board not too long ago, this is the link to my pinterest FAA board:

I haven't put in any descriptive words in any of my pins. I guess I need to work on that!

This is a link to one of my pins:

Okay here's my board. I have a lot to learn as to how to use it. I've only got six of my images up and followed a few groups. Haven't pinned anyone's work yet. https://www.pinterest.com/janifreimann/horse-paintings/

I have no idea how to add descriptive words to my pinterst posts. I use the "pin it" button and it just sends whatever I want to post right to pinterst. I don't see where there is a place to add anything. What other way is there to do this?

 

James McCormack

Roxanne -
1. Pin you ritem
2. Open your Pin
3. Edit - and you can include / change the Description.

Not sure if there is shorter way.

I still need to get to grips with Pinterest and come back with my Pin and to Pin everyone elses.

When you go to pin an image @Roxanne Jones, there is a white text box underneath, if it doesn't let you type right away, click the pin it button in the corner and before you choose your "board" to pin to, you can enter a description or notes

 

Edward I pinned your coffee print. Love it!

I like this thread and that everyone is helping each other. Great idea. I do have a question about Pinterest. Whenever I pin something that I have found on Pinterest, it gets repinned. But whenever I pin one of my own, nobody repins it. How is this working for you all? This is why I like this idea. I'm pretty sure that if I pin someone else's photo, it will be shared. Is anyone else having trouble getting their own photos shared?

@ Rumyana Whitcher I pinned your pretty lily photo to my board titled Art Photography.

I'd like this pinned, please. Thank you all.

thats the same issue, Pinterest algorithms seem to work a lot like FB so if you pin your own they dont show up in feed for people but if others pin it for you then it works out. I've noticed that with most of the images I PIN from my own work. I will usually sign out of FAA now and pin from my ipad or a different device and that seems to work better, especially if i pin from the image itself instead of one of the versions of products available (like pinning a framed print version of the image)


That's the idea with this thread, if we pin each other's work then it can boost a lot of views hopefully. Thanks for joining in.

thanks for sharing everyone! I have seen some new pinterest likes on my boards today and have gone back to edit old FAA ones to make sure they still link to the artist.

 

Nadia Sanowar

Ok, I am new to Pinterest and not sure what I am doing but I am giving it a go. Will pin some of the above onto a board that I created for FAA work. Here is the link to my Pinterest thingy :)

https://www.pinterest.com/nadiasanowar/

 

" I have seen some new pinterest likes on my boards today and have gone back to edit old FAA ones to make sure they still link to the artist. "

Yes, it is wise to check those repins to make sure the links still go to FAA. I once had several of my art pins hijacked when someone repinned them and changed the url to their own site.

If I set up a Group board would you all like to join? This is an easy way to see what others would like to have repinned.

 

Alanna DPhoto

That sounds great Lynn-Marie thanks! I have joined a couple other shared boards as well

I am brand new to Pinterest, started today and still learning the ins and outs of it. Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated.

 

OK Everyone.

If you would like to join these group boards please leave the name of your accounts (mine is lasgalenarts) here in this thread. Please tell me which boards you are interested in.

This is how it works. Once I add your name to the boards (see choices below) you can go to your notifications and accept the invitation to join them.

For those unfamiliar with group boards, your pins will show on all those who also subscribe to the board as well as on their feeds. Feel free to pin anyone's work into separate boards you manage. The more that participates the more exposure we all will have. Many pinners follow active boards.

I have also set these boards so you can add other folks here on them as well.

Pin originals, prints and all other products to them. Please keep to the specific genre of art (traditional or photography/digital art)

Traditional Art For Sale

Photography And Digital Art

Again, leave your accounts name in this thread and which board(s) you are interested in joining.

I started a Pinterest board called Favs from Fine Art America a few weeks ago; only have 130 pins on it so far: https://www.pinterest.com/rettakat/favs-from-fine-art-america/

Lynn-Marie, I would like to join your Traditional Art for Sale board please. The account you want is my Pinterest account url?? It's https://www.pinterest.com/rettakat/
My board is called Art by Retta. Sorry, still learning my way around, so not sure which you need.
Thanks!

 

Retta I've added you to the Traditional Arts board. You only need to check your Notifications (where you see what others have pinned from you) to accept the invite. :)

Is there a Pinterest button on FAA? How do I enable Pinterest on my photographs? Thanks in advance.

Gina - log into your Pinterest account and go here >> https://help.pinterest.com/en/articles/add-pin-it-button-your-browser#Web This will enable your browser to be able to pin anything from anywhere.

Ballantyne - I have added you to the Traditional Arts board. In your notifications (top right on your pinterest page) to accept the invite. Follow the instruction I gave Gina to get the "pin it" button to show on your work and then "pin" to the board you are now linked to.

 

Retta Stephenson

Gina: also for your FAA page:

Go to Behind the Scenes > Marketing > Sharing Buttons. Make sure all the places you want to allow sharing have the boxes checked to enable them. I believe it should be the default setting for them to be checked.

 

Thanks Retta for pointing that out, did you get that invite at Pinterest. Please let me know if it didn't work. These things have been known to go wonky.

for a month or so now - the Pinterest button hasn't worked for me.

whenever I click any P button - at the bottom left it says "waiting for pinterest.com"

 

Allen Beatty

I have followed all above.

https://www.pinterest.com/photosbyal/

Pin what appeals to you and thank you.

 

Retta: could you PM me your email address. We'll try that way.

 
 

Well using the name of your accounts doesn't work for the invite. If you'd like to join the boards above (traditional art & photography/digital art) then just PM your email addresses and I'll try that way.

BTW, if you folks pinning just have your name and the title of your piece in the description of the pin you are wasting your time. You need to describe your art and invite people to see the art. Pinterest won't do a thing with a name and title in the descriptions.

 

Retta Stephenson

8 Years Ago

Lynne-Marie, you mean in the description of the image being pinned ON Pinterest, not the description box on FAA, right? I don't understand then, because I rarely see any much more than a title and the persons name. In fact, most of the time, I have to find and add that info myself, it won't automatically do it. So, you mean that is not enough info to be seen in the Pinterest search engine?

Gee, I have 1958 pins on my boards so far; and many of them are art and photography from FAA; it would be a daunting task to write up a paragraph for each one. Am I misunderstanding?? :-O

 

No Retta I do mean the pins on Pinterest need elaborate descriptions. You see, Pinterest combs through the information on those descriptions and adds them to their categories. So if you have the word "abstract "on a pins description the pin will be searchable by that word. Or "red flowers" or "blue donkey" or "old cars" etc.

"So.. I had exactly ONE pin from this post. "

Do you have a Pinterest account Sharon?

 

Retta Stephenson

Thanks for explaining, Lynn-Marie. I did NOT know that... yikes! I'll need to invest some time updating those skimpy descriptions. :-} Well, better now than later. Glad you mentioned that.

 

Sharon Johnston

I posted it above, a few days ago.

 

Sharon I'm sorry I didn't see it before. If you'd like to join my group boards then perhaps we could reciprocate pins from each other. If you send me your email address you use for your Pinterest account I can add you to them or one?

These are the group boards I set up; Traditional Art for Sale > https://www.pinterest.com/lasgalenarts/traditional-art-for-sale/ and Photography And Digital Art > https://www.pinterest.com/lasgalenarts/photography-and-digital-art-for-sale/


I see you are no stranger to Group boards. :)

 
 

Leif I have pinned your beach rose into my group board. Thank you for repinning many of my pins. :)
