Title: Pinterest Image Magic

Hello,

Pinterest is a visual site, which means the images you use
are one of the single most important elements of your 
campaigns. Not only must you choose the right images to
attract eyeballs, but you must present them in the right 
sizes, and you must include enhancements that draw even 
more attention.

First, you should take a look at Pinterest and see which
images grab YOUR eyeballs. You’ll probably notice one
thing quickly, and that is that tall images catch your eye
much easier than wider images, because they are much larger.

Pinterest restricts the width of images to fit their layout,
which means wide images actually look quite small. But they 
have a much, much higher image size limit with regards to
height, which means you can capture a lot more real estate
on the page by using very tall images than you can with 
images that are wider than they are tall.

But what’s the perfect size for Pinterest?

Most people say the ideal size for images is 735x1100. 
But images that are even taller work great, too. For 
example, 736x2748 is another size that is quite popular
and works very well for taking up a lot of page real
estate in the search results. When you use this type of 
image, you will probably want to include several different
photos in the same layout, like a collage.

You’ll also want to be sure you’re including text on your
images. Text is critical in getting more attention, 
because images alone don’t always tell the whole story
about what your page is about.

Text can also make up most, or all, of the image. If you
don’t have a great image (or images) that perfectly 
illustrate your page, sometimes just some artfully
presented text on a colorful background can be all you 
need to get clicks and re-pins.

You should take some time to study some of the most 
popular pins in your niche. Search for a few important
keywords that relate to your niche and take note of the
pins that are getting re-pinned most often. You may start
to see a pattern with regards to the type of images that
get the most attention, and which colors and fonts you 
should use on your own images.

Why reinvent the wheel? Sometimes it’s better to just 
pay attention to what is already working and try to
create your own version.

Tomorrow we are going to talk about how to create the type
of juicy pin descriptions that really get results, so be
sure to look for it!

Until then,

PS- Too many people create boring descriptions, or worse,
put none at all! The description is your chance to include
important keywords AND get people to visit your site, so
be sure to look for tomorrow’s lesson!
