So... How does this work?

The power of collaboration!!!

Being a lone wolf on Pinterest can be daunting and you might find that it is difficult for people to find you or find your items. These collaborative group boards are supposed to alleviate that.

After you have joined, I will grant you access to several Pinterest Collaboration Boards that are aligned with your Etsy products. After you have access, start pinning your items into those boards that you now have access to!!! If we all pin to these boards they will quickly grow and get more visibility on Pinterest. More teamwork will drive more viewers to our boards and ultimately your products!

If anyone has any questions about how to pin their items, just ask! I like to use Google Chrome browser and I have the Pinterest Extension downloaded. On my listing I can click the Pinterest button to "Pin It". The Pin It button allows Pinterest members to share listings directly. When you pin listings with the Pin It button, the required pin description field is auto-filled with the item title and price. You can also add a note about why you like the item.

If you have access to a collaborative board you also now have full access to add and invite more members to collaborate on those boards too! So feel free to invite your etsy seller friends and let's grow this as much as we can. Thank you!

Re: So... How does this work?

You should be able to add the link to your pinterest page just like you were able to add the facebook and instagram links on your etsy shop, under "edit shop".

Your Pinterest page should be pinterest.com/(yourpinterestusernamehere)

Re: So... How does this work?

Just so ya'll know I went ahead and consolidated some of the group boards. For example, there was Clothing, and then there was Accessories. So I moved all the pins from Accessories and made it Clothing and Accessories. I did not delete any pins already pinned to the group boards!

Re: So... How does this work?

Go to pinterest and click on the person icon at the top of the page on the right hand side. This is your profile page and at the top in the address bar is your Pinterest link. You can copy and paste the link. This is using a browser and not the app. Or your link would be https://www.pinterest.com/CraftNGifts/. Where it says CraftNGifts, you would put your Pinterest user name.
Hope this helps!

Re: So... How does this work?

Hi- thankyou for the access to the boards. I am a little confused though. I have added the Pinterest 'button' via Firefox and I am not sure what to do next?

Debbie when you are on your etsy page, you can just click the button or click "pin it" on the listing itself. Then a popup with all the boards will show up. Select the board you want to pin to. Now it is on pinterest and the more we collaborate on the boards the bigger they will get and we will have more followers so your items get more popular,

Re: So... How does this work?

Debbie and Dee, did you receive a message ON Pinterest from Natalie and Tyler, asking you to accept a contract to add the Etsy boards to your Pinterest account? You have to accept that/those contract(s) to be able to pin to those Etsy boards and have them show up on your Pinterest profile page.

Dee and John I believe that's the only email I received as well. The one from Etsy saying I was approved for this group.
