Hi Team!
Important update re our Team Pinterest Gift Guide - www.pinterest.com/etsymeetntweet/
I would like to invite you all to Pin directly to our Team Boards. Waiting for our auto-repins to post is like a slooow boat to China. From what I'm learning it looks like every time we post a new pin it will take that pin 5 days to get indexed on Pinterest. They have admitted in correspondence that their search engine needs work!
(if this is the first your reading about all this, you can see the original thread here:
https://www.etsy.com/teams/15782/etsy-meet-n-tweet/discuss/16957447/page/1)So to be more proactive, for anyone who is interested, I would like to get you set up to pin directly to our team boards.
Just like with out auto-tweeting, there is a level of trust here that we will all pin responsibly. Not too many at one time on a board, i would make three the cut off, no more than four? until others have posted. Also, I think we are all g-rated here (w/ one exception but we have an agreement :) so there shouldn't be any worries there.
BUT just so you know when you become a collaborator on a group board, that board appears on your pinterest profile. I am going to invited you to ALL the boards but you don't have to accept them all and not all at once. You can pick and choose. And you can 'Remove' yourself from a board at anytime. Just click on the edit board, scroll to your name on the list of Collaborators and click the 'Remove' button. If you want to remove your pins as well you'll need to do that before you remove yourself from the board.
So with all that said, here is how to get invited as a Collaborator our Team Boards:
SEND ME A PIN - sending me a pin to the Team's Pinterest account will add your Pinterest to a list from which i can send you an invite. Sending a Pin is easy.
Here's how you send a Pin:
1. in your pinterest account click open one of your Pins
2. in that Pin click on the "send" button...it's the one with the little airplane icon
3. in the box that opens up, where it says 'search' copy/paste the following email address: etsytweets@dogooderz.com
4. once you type in the email address right below you should see where you can then click a link to email the Pin.
5. Lastly, look for the invite in your Notifications inside your Pinterest. You'll see the red indicator in the upper right hand corner...click that and then click on "You".
And that's it. Starting out, I'll try to send invites twice a day to get us going.
Note: You can still set up auto-repins. See here:
