Hi ,

Do you use Pinterest? If you do I've got some Pinterest pinning design tips for you.

• Make sure that your account is set to show rich pins, which means that your pins automatically sync to your website. You can find out how to set this up by reading this Pinterest help article.
• Make sure you write a good pin description that includes keywords for your pin, as Pinterest uses this description when people are searching for a particular keyword or phrase.
• Vary your pin height, throwing in a "double" or "tall" pin now and then.
• To catch the eye your pins need to pop - and you can do this with color, perhaps matching the font color to the dominant color in the pin's photo.
• Create boards with niched names. As an example, if your over Pinterest account is about skin care you want to create separate boards for moisturizers, eye serums, sunscreens, etc rather than a board named "skin care."
• Review your profile name and see if you can update it to include some of your keywords for your topic or industry

Do you use video or vow that you want to do more video? My favorite video making tool, Vidnami, is having one of their good 50% off their monthly membership forever right now. They have recently added yet another new feature, Presenter Style videos, which I personally will be hopping on to use. As you've heard me say before, I've been a Vidnami user for many years and hands down over the years they have added features and followed video trends more than any other video tool I have tried. This is a time limited offer, I think through Feb 26th. (That's my affiliate link.)

Finally, one last call for Biz Template Babe's fabulous templates. By far the best deal if you are a heavy Canva user is her "get it all" membership. She is offering her newest template set, brand new, for calendars and planners OUTSIDE the membership for a limited time. Use my link which will take you to a free template sample, she will then send you a time limited offer for the new template set. (That's my affiliate link.)

This weekend Bill and I will venture out to our very first restaurant to meet up with another vaccinated couple to eat (outside on the patio). That may not seem like much to you, but we are THRILLED to be able to get outside and around people a little more now. Whatever you are doing this weekend I hope it brings you joy.

To your sweet success,

Sue Painter

PS If you are iffy about Vidnami I get it. But if you are needing to step up your video game, you will get a lot of use out of it.
