Hi. This is Lisa Kalner Williams from Sierra Tierra Marketing. Here today to show you how
to upload an image with a URL to Pinterest. This is great if you have an article that
you want folks to go to on Pinterest but it doesn't have any images or it doesn't have
any Pinterest-friendly images. You can create your own and drive traffic to the site of
your choice. Now Pinterest has a way to do this, but I have found that Viraltag makes
it much easier to do. So let me show you how it is. And let me tell you also that Viraltag
is available at viraltag.com. But I have added it as a stream to my Hootsuite dashboard.
That's what you're going to look at right now. I'm going to choose the image that I
want to drive traffic to my Website. And it's called "my blog." And while that's loading,
I'm going to find the board that's called "Social Media Tips." Pinterest says that you
must add a description, so -- "Find great tips on social media on my blog." And here's
where you will put the source URL. When a person clicks on that image that I created,
where do I want them to go? In my case, I want them to go to sierratierra.com. The reason
I typically use Viraltag is for its scheduling abilities. I'm going to schedule this out
for tomorrow which is the fifteenth. And 12:22 sounds like a great time to catch the people
I want. And I will click "schedule." Now you'll look at my scheduled pins and you should see
it in the queue. This is for later today. And there it is, it's ready to go. Hope you
found that an easy way to upload an image with a URL to Pinterest using Viraltag. This
is Lisa Kalner Williams from Sierra Tierra Marketing. I'll see you at the next video.
