Sharing a Post to Pinterest

You will need a Pinterest account to get started. Sign up for free here.

Images on Pinterest are saved to "Boards," like a physical vision board, which will serve to categorize your posts. You can create boards as you add pins, or by clicking on the plus icon on your Pinterest profile. Here are some suggestions for Board titles for your pins from the Social Post Library:

• Monthly Real Estate Blogs
• Real Estate Tips for Buyers
• Advice for Home Sellers
• Local Austin Real Estate Updates

When you create a Pinterest post, you'll notice that there is a place to add a "Destination Link." If a person clicks on your pin, they will be taken to this URL. You do not have to add a destination link to save a pin. Here are some suggestions for destination links if you choose to add one:

• A blog post on your website
• Your website home page
• A lead generation landing page

Below are the instructions for sharing to Pinterest a post from the Social Post Library.
