It&#8217;s an often overlooked platform by authors wanting to build an online following, however, it could potentially be one of the more effective social media platforms out there. Pinterest functions more like a search engine and pins have a longer lifespan than most other social media platforms making it an invaluable tool. So how can you use Pinterest as a writer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kristen Kieffer is a fantasy fiction writer and the founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.well-storied.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Well-Storied.com<\/a> where she helps writers craft sensational novels and build their best writing lives. She has almost 60,000 followers on Pinterest and almost 3 million monthly visitors to her pins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I asked her how she used Pinterest to gain such a massive following and to engage with an interested audience on her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com.au\/well_storied\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">board<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pinterest is a search engine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Unlike other social media platforms, Pinterest is a powerful search engine. Many users search Pinterest for resources in the same way that other people search Google, meaning Pinterest offers authors a fantastic opportunity to target users looking for their next great read or creative resource.<\/p>\n<cite>Kristen Kieffer<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also have noticed that sometimes, when you search for something in Google, it actually takes you to Pinterest. This is another huge benefit of having content on Pinterest over other social media platforms &#8211; a great web presence with only a fraction of the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to build a following on Pinterest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Authors can create pins and boards on Pinterest. Pins are like bookmarks and boards are a curated collection of pins grouped together under a single title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I built my Pinterest&nbsp;following as a creative entrepreneur by creating high-value boards and pins designed to target my ideal reader. I made themed mood boards and character boards as resources for fellow writers looking to create personal storyboards, and created writing resource boards themed around different aspects of the writing process (i.e., drafting, character creation, pre-writing). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For every blog post I wrote, I designed attractive Pinterest-optimized images that I pinned to these resource boards. I also pinned applicable images from other writing blogs to help spread the love.<\/p>\n<cite>Kristen Kieffer<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some examples of the titles Kristen gave her boards that also help optimise her posts within Pinterest\u2019s search engine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"372\" data-src=\"http:\/\/wp.novlr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/board-1-1024x372.png\" alt=\"How to use Pinterest as a writer board example 1\" class=\"wp-image-2214 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/board-1-1024x372.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/board-1-300x109.png 300w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/board-1-768x279.png 768w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/board-1-1536x558.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/board-1-2048x745.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/board-1-800x291.png 800w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/372;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"380\" data-src=\"http:\/\/wp.novlr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/board-2-1024x380.png\" alt=\"How to use Pinterest as a writer board example 2\" class=\"wp-image-2215 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/board-2-1024x380.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/board-2-300x111.png 300w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/board-2-768x285.png 768w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/board-2-1536x569.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/board-2-2048x759.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/board-2-800x297.png 800w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/380;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pinterest can also help authors with research for character names, looks, or settings through its comprehensive search algorithm and post suggestions based on what pins you&#8217;re viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of pins that do best on Pinterest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In my experience, vertical blog post graphics with eye-catching photos, bold text, and high-contrast colors perform very well on Pinterest.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"465\" data-src=\"http:\/\/wp.novlr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pins-1024x465.png\" alt=\"How to use Pinterest as a writer pins examples\" class=\"wp-image-2217 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pins-1024x465.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pins-300x136.png 300w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pins-768x349.png 768w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pins-1536x697.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pins-2048x930.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.novlr.org\/the-reading-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pins-800x363.png 800w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/465;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The pins that do best on my mood boards are stylised headshots and stills from movies and TV shows that fit the theme of the board.<\/p>\n<cite>Kristen Kieffer<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to create eye-catching pins, you can use <a href=\"http:\/\/Canva.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canva<\/a> (an online graphic design tool that&#8217;s great for beginners).
