Hi I’m Cathie Heart and I’m a professional photography and designer for CathieGraphy
and this is a quick tutorial and show of what visions boards are and pinterest. So pinterest
is great because you can create idea and lifestyle boards for you’re the vision that you want
to have your future. These are called vision boards, is the way to have an positive affirmation
of where you want your life to go, visually, to how you can pin the car you want to have,
you can pin the ideas you want to have in your home you can pin the ideas that you want
to have about how your product will look like,how your business office will look like, how about
your branding, all of these kinds of things.
You can become curator of ideas and images. You can become inspiration to others with
your ideas and the things that you wish to offer to others and even to become inspired
by others so with pinterest you get visually show what you like and stand for as a person.
So let’s go and have a look at pinterest. On here you can see that I have my account,
Cathie Heart. I don’t have one specifically for CathieGraphy and I don't have one specifically
for Cathie Heart Photography, I have it only as me myself standing for what I like and
wish to share as inspirations to myself and to others. So you can see that I have a vision
board specifically for portraits, weddings, groups, couture portraits which is a niche
market that I want to get into .. fashion and all sorts of other areas.
When you're signing up to pinterest I would advise not signing up with Facebook or Twitter
purely because pinterest automatically follows the people that have their accounts linked
to yours within Facebook or Twitter, you don't really want to follow the vast majority of
people. You only want a niche area of the people who actually represent the images that
you want to have a look at, not everybody's gonna have the same taste as you and if you
sign up via Facebook or Twitter you'll have to unfollow you have to opt .. you have properly
opt out of following rather than saying opt in you have to opt out which is the wrong
way round to do it. So signup with just a general e-mail that you have and do it the
long way round one of them going by facebook or twitter but enough about that.
So you’ve got your vision boards of what you want to create you can pin them and you
can pin it from a website now for example [going to pause] so for example you may like
a particular image. If you are on a page make sure that you don't just click on the general
blog link, go and actually click on the blog post itself. The reason for this is that when
it gets pinned your image will have a link directly back to the source of where you got
it from and if you take it from just the general blog page or general page it will link back
to that location not specifically this images location so click on the blog post and then
go and pin your interest and you can select the image you want, you’ll pin that and
another little window will show up and I'm going to say “I love this portrait of a
girl in Leeds” and then pin it. This will then be shared to the rest of your friends
and followers on pinterest so you can see tweet it or share it on Facebook.
So if I go back and click on portraits, you will see that that pin has shown up and it’s
come from my website. You can see the sources come from and so there is the very very basics
of pinning. Make sure you pin specifically from the items page not just a general blog
post link. Go have fun share your vision boards with me and I will show you some vision boards
branding and web design in the future, in the next videos. Thank you .. oh and check
