Take note! The best Pins are visually compelling, tell a good story and make people want to learn more. Here’s how to create the best pins: . 1. Pick an eye-catching image. Use high-quality, vertical images that will stand out in people's feeds. . 2. Make your brand the focal point. Put your product or service front and center. Avoid using abstract images or lifestyle imagery that doesn’t showcase your brand. . 3. Give context. Your Pins should help people understand why your product or idea is the right fit for them. Pick images that show context and bring your topic to life. Clearly show how someone might use your product, try your project, etc. . 4. Include your logo. Put a logo on every Pin you make, but keep it subtle. Avoid the lower right corner, since that spot gets covered up by our product icons. . 5. Add text overlay to tell a better story. Text overlay is the copy that goes on your Pin image. It makes your Pins stand out, adds context and enhances your message. Keep text concise so it’s easy for people to read on their phones. . . . . #pinteresttips #pinterestforbusiness #pintereststrategy #shesgotvision #creativepreneur #socialmediamarketing #contentmarketing #pinterestmarketing #socialmediatips #pinteresting #onlinemarketing #pinterestspecialist #pinterestexpert #socialmediastrategy #socialmediaexpert #pinterestmarketingtips #visualmarketing #pinteresttraining #pinterestsuccess #marketing #socialmediamanager

When I’m not working away for clients and running around with family, you can bet I’ll be getting crafty and having fun with our 1957 Bel Air. . Today I made a custom decal, complete with a tropical touch! 🍍 . It’s been getting a lot of attention at the car show today! The car looks great but that decal gets a lot of laughs 😂 . How are you spending your weekend?

What is your favourite business book? Drop it in the comments below! . I have many favourites, but the Leadership Challenge by Kouzes and Posner really stuck with me. . It was the first business book to really give me a series of breakthrough moments when it came to mindset around leadership and figuring out the type of leader I wanted to be. . I learned a LOT from that book -- including a lot about myself that really started to shape who I am today. .

The beauty of Pinterest is being able to reach people in your location and in other locations all the way around the world. . If you're looking to target Pinners in a specific market think about what's trending in their specific market. It may not be the same as what's trending where you are! . You can pair global trends with what’s trending in that particular country to help your content get noticed and pinned. Examples of this in action: . Pair painted jean jackets with leopard print skirts in Canada! . Put a dusty pink backsplash behind a pile of fluffy pancakes for a UK audience. . Showcase men's forearm tattoos in front of freshwater aquariums for a US audience. . . . . #contentmarketing #marketingtips #marketingstrategy #marketing101 #marketingonline #onlinemarketing #biztip #pinterest #pinteresttrends #pinterest101 #pinterestinspired #pinterestcontentmarketing #pinterestforbusiness #pinteresttips #pinterestcontent #socialmediamarketing #businesstips #onlinebusiness #seo #socialmedia #digitalmarketing #bebold #socialmediastrategy #entrepreneurlife #affiliatemarketing #startuplife #inboundmarketing

Confidence is something I’ve struggled with off and on in my personal life and in my work life. . You see, I grew up being told that I should be quiet, keep my head down and do what I’m told. I was told to not rock the boat. I was teased relentlessly for being smart, and called a nerd or geek more often than I was called pretty or talented. . That sort of thing sticks with you and it can be hard to shake. Along the way I decided to break the rules and just be myself. Now I’m exactly who I need to be, and who I always was deep down. A colour and travel loving, strong, confident woman who was geek way before Big Bang Theory made it chic. I’m an academic, an educator, a Martha Stewart type, a Canadian and I have a huge heart for helping others. And I’m not ashamed of it any more. 💕 . So, if you’re struggling with confidence just know that it’s ok to be yourself, it’s ok to be confident and how YOU feel matters. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. 💌 . Tag a friend who needs to hear this today — together we can grow in confidence and support each other on the journey. 💖 . . . . #fridayquotes #rachelhollis #motivationalquotes #mycreativebiz #beyourself #loveyourself #selflove #womeninbusiness #creativepreneur #solopreneur #communityovercompetition #risingtidesociety #creativelifehappylife #confidencequotes #confidencematters #womenempowerment #womeninbusiness #businesswoman #geekischic #bigbangtheoryfan #businessmindset #personalgrowthjourney
