Pins
It’s better to pin vertical photos then horizontal. Do not over pin. Instead pin for five minutes
here and there throughout the day. Add a clear to the point description to every
pin. Include hashtags. The best times to pin are 2-4 PM EST and
8-1 AM EST and on Saturday mornings. If you want to repin your pin to multiple boards
do it over the course of a week. You do not want to spam someone else’s feed. They will unfollow you.

Pinterest for your Site
Add a Pin It button to all of your posts. The best place for it is with your other social media buttons.
Verify your website on Pinterest. This option is found under settings.
If you have an article people would love make sure it has a pinable graphic! Go back and add photos if you need to.
