How to join Pinterest
Sign Up
You have two alternatives when signing up: you can use your email address or another one of your social networks, such as Twitter or Facebook, that is linked to your Pinterest account. It’s easier to find friends, family, and brands to follow when you connect your accounts. You can link your other social accounts afterwards if you wish to start with the email.
Create Your Profile
For your account, you’ll need to create a username and password. The username you choose will become your Pinterest page’s unique URL or web address, such as https://www.pinterest.com/infrontwebworks. Pinterest will then ask you to select a few areas of interest so that it can recommend individuals to follow who share your interests. After that, you’ll be asked if you want to set up the convenient browser “Pin It” button.This allows you to store pins rapidly while browsing the web. After you’ve created your account, click the three dots in the upper right corner to access your settings. You may adjust your notification settings and change or add any of your profile information here.
How to Pin
Create New Boards
You’ll want to make and name your own pinboards before you start pinning. This is where you may categorize all of your pins, such as recipes, images, and gardening, so you can find them easily at any time. You can create as many boards as you want. Click on your username in the upper right-hand corner to start a new board. This is where you’ll find all of your pins and boards. Then, to name and add your board, click the red add button.
Adding Pins
Pins can be added to your boards in a variety of ways. If you prefer to install it on your browser, the easiest way is to use the “Pin It” button. You may save stuff from websites by using your browser’s red Pin It button while searching. A pop-up screen will appear, prompting you to choose an image to store and which board to save it on. You can also create a new board for the information you’re uploading here if you don’t currently have one.Another approach to add pins is to use the Pin It button, which can be found among other social sharing buttons on most websites. When you pin this way, you’ll get a pop-up screen where you can choose your board. You can re-pin from your personal feed as well. If you wish to save a pin from someone you follow, just hover over it and the save button will appear.
Upload Pins
Pinterest allows you to build and post your own pins. You can upload your image, add the URL of the website, and offer a description of the pin by clicking the Plus button in the bottom right hand corner and selecting upload a pin.
Get Pinterest Social
