Pinterest Pet Peeves - Don't MakPinterest Pet Peeves - Don't Make These 4 Pinterest Mistakese These 4 Pinterest Mistakes

I think we all have some Pinterest Pet Peeves, those little things that get under our skin when we using our favorite website. PLEASE don’t make these pinterest mistakes. Whether you are a new Pinner or a seasoned Pinerista (I just made that up) make sure you are NOT making these simple mistakes.These are my 4 Pinterest Pet Peeves!

Pinterest Pet Peeve #1

Don't post an image from google that doesn’t go back to the original site

How many times have you clicked on a pin to get directions for a cute DIY project or a delicious recipe only to find it simply links to a picture? How am I supposed to make world famous Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Coloured Polka Dot Rotini (actual recipe title from JanetAndGreta.com).

Pinterest Perfect: When you find something you want to pin, just copy the URL and paste it when you "Add +."

Pinterest Pet Peeve #2

Don't post the generic URL instead of the URL for the Specific Blog Post

Using the recipe idea, even though I don't cook, if you find something great on food.com, don't just paste the food.com url.

Pinterest Perfect: Find the actual blog post with the actual recipe and link to that instead. Everyone will thank you!

Pinterest Pet Peeve #3

Don't use Random, Generic or Unspecific Boards on Pinterest

If you have a Home Decor board with funny cat pictures on it, people will be confused. Confused people will stop following you. Don't confuse people.

Pinterest Perfect: Try to give your boards specific titles for a specific purpose.

Pinterest Pet Peeve #4

Don't leave the description section blank

People find your pins by seeing them on your board OR by searching for them. If the description just says, "Funny" you aren't spreading the cheer like you could.

Pinterest Perfect: Super simple! Just make sure the description area is filled in. Give some detail for those using the search function. Don't be afraid to say exactly why you pinned it. Do you love the color? Have you actually visited that locale? Details, people, details!
