How to Start a Pinterest Brand
Create a business account, complete the profile, organise your first boards and publish a video Pin.
Introduction
Pinterest works as both a visual platform and a search tool. A clear profile and well named boards help people understand what you publish and where your Pins lead.
Step 1: Create a Separate Pinterest Account
Use a dedicated email address if you want to keep Brand boards and account details separate from a personal profile.
- Open Pinterest.com or the Pinterest app.
- Select Sign up.
- Enter the requested details and create a secure password.
- Select Create account to finish.
Step 2: Choose a Business Account
A free business account includes analytics and settings for websites, catalogues, advertising and publishing tools.
- Open Settings, then Account management.
- Find Convert to a business account and select Convert account.
- Enter the public Brand name and website address.
- Choose the category that best describes the Brand.
Step 3: Complete Your Profile and Website Details
Complete the public profile and confirm ownership of a website if you use one.
- Add a square profile image or logo.
- Write a short About section that explains what you publish.
- Open Claimed accounts in Settings if you want to confirm a website you control.
- Follow Pinterest's instructions for the verification method you choose.
Step 4: Set Up Your First Boards
Boards organise Pins by subject and help people find related content.
- Open your profile, select Create and choose Board.
- Give the board a clear name that describes its subject.
- Add a short description and keep the board public if it is intended for visitors.
Step 5: Publish Your First Video Pin
Choose the most relevant board before you publish the first video Pin.
- Open Create and choose Create Pin.
- Select the video file from your device.
- Add a clear title and a short description.
- Add the destination link and alt text when they are relevant.
- Choose the board, review the Pin and select Publish.
Step 6: Plan Regular Pinterest Posts
Video Pins still need a subject, script, visuals and editing before they are ready to publish.
BuzzExtra creates videos from the settings saved for your Brand and
can publish them to the selected Pinterest account and board.
