[GirlpowerKnits]

I just joined interest tonight, and am rather clueless on what to do?

Can anyone help me?

What do I pin? my items? someone else's? mixed?

Can I pin treasuries?

[TheOttSpots]

Yes, you can pin Treasuries. You just choose which picture in the treasury to make as the main one.
You make BOARDS like say for Holidays, and then pin everything you like onto that board. You can follow fellow Etsy shop owners, craft ideas...
I have to admit, I'm kind of addicted!!
Follow people who have similar interests to your own. The best way to expand, is to follow people, and keep pinning!!
Good luck, it's a lot of fun!

There is a heading on Pinterest labeled Gifts, how do you get into that heading? My photos go into the general listing with the price labeled on the corner.

I also have the "Pin It" button on my bookmarks ontop of my browser. I pin things that I find all over the internet to create new pins and not just re-pinning everything that everyone else is pinning.

I love pinterest. Actually I spend to much time there.

Lanni, I am hoping someone answers your question. I have the same problem.

I tried getting help from Pinterest but that was less then helpful. Anyone, how do you get your pins to go into the "Gifts" section?

ALWAYS repin WITH ITEM PRICE.
No pin will show up on the Pintrest "Gifts" page without a price tag.

Go to Pintrest main page. Directly under the red "Pintrest" there are categories you can click on. "Gifts" is where items tagged with a price show up. The ONLY way to get included in "Gifts" is to put a price on the pin.

I have pinned my jewelry from my Etsy page when it comes up on Pinterest it shows up in the regular feed with price but I never see it show up in the gifts category. Last night I even looked up my earrings by price and no earrings. Then I looked my earrings up by my name, that was a disaster apparently there is porn with my name and it was on Pinterest. And yes I reported it.
