Using Instagram and Pinterest for Facebook

Pinterest allows users to create virtual inspiration boards of images found on the web. Users browse other boards in the community and have the ability to comment and like boards or pins. There is additional functionality that allows users to repin finds to their own boards creating a viral sharing environment. •3rd highest referral traffic rater behind

Facebook and Twitter•Pinterest referrals are 10 percent more likely to make a purchase and spend 10 percent more.

Pins are images/graphs that are added to Pinterest,Boards are categories of pins that users build usually around a particular interest, topic or theme.Repins happen when a user adds an image they find while looking around in Pinterest and they pin it to one of their boards (think of it as a Facebook like that they keep on their page)

Following a Board is an option when you are only interested in seeing pins from that specific Board (maybe a Board about condos in Chicago)Following a user is the same concept except you will see everything they pin and new boards they create.(Following your favorite Real Estate agents)

How are Repins Valuable for Link Building?

Repins SEO

when you pin an image that becomes viral on Pinterest (i.e. users repin it to their own boards), you are getting a source-link on each of those repinned images that now exist on other users’ boards.

TIP: When pinning and tagging your photos, think about what a user might search for on Pinterest, NOT what you would want them to search for. In other words, “Luxury homes” or “Gorgeous Apartments” may work better than an address

Best Practices

Getting More Followers:

Use the Popular/explore tab to see what popular users are posting

Best Practices

Follow “Suggested Users” by selecting “Find Friends” > ”Suggested Users”. Following users that have similar interests to you may encourage them to follow you in return.

Comment on the photos that you enjoy. When you feel like you've got a sense of the way Instagram works, start leaving comments on pictures that inspire you. Spreading feelings of goodwill is a great way to increase your own base of followers.

Say something of substance. Emoticons or "Nice pic!" don't go as far in getting you noticed as do honesty and sincerity.

Best Practices

Best PracticesFind and invite your friends to join.

This can be done from within the @(YourAccountName) settings tab on the far right. Users like to follow users who have a lot of followers. This is why it can be difficult to gain followers early on. Getting friends from other social networks to follow your Instagram account is crucial for building an initial follower base.

Click the “Find friends” button to add friends from your Facebook, Twitter, or address book, or simply search for usernames and names of people you know that may be using Instagram.
