How I Entered into The Elite Club of Pinterest as a Creator!
(Try this if you want to learn from the Top 1% )
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” — African Proverb
The proverb stated above is very apt when it comes to building your personal brand as a content creator.
I mean, just think, how bigger the magnitude of your actions could be if you can find more and more people that resonate with your vision.
People who can actually make you better.
People who can guide you in doing what you’re trying to do in the best possible manner.
I can assure you that the impact would be HUGE.
That’s why I love connecting with people who are 10x better than me, because when you surround yourself with folks who’re better than you’re you are more likely to learn something new.
Something that’s RAW yet very valuable.
When I took the decision of starting my journey as a Pinterest creator, one of the biggest challenges for me was to LEARN THE BASICS.
Because once I’ve an idea about the basics of a platform, then only I can proceed towards the more complex stuff.
So, I watched every video on YouTube that’s related to Pinterest, and that’s how I got the basic know-how.
Apparently, I started creating content.
It took me a lot of time to figure out what actually works.
One major reason behind this delay could be my 9–5.
As a newbie Pinterest creator, one thing that was bothering me was the — authenticity of the information that I’m receiving.
The reason being, all the content that’s available online isn’t always reliable and you need to filter it out.
Now, if you’ve some experience it becomes easier to do that, but if you’re a complete newbie, you may have a ton of questions in your mind which you want to hear and answer.
Though I’m trying to put everything related to Pinterest in my publication, if you want to know about a platform where you can get authentic information directly from Pinterest, then this post is just for YOU😊.
Whenever I’ve any query related to Pinterest, I solve it by using either of the below-mentioned ways:
- By Contacting Pinterest Support (It’s pretty simple, so, I won’t be discussing it in this post.)
- By Asking About it in the Pinterest Community
The Pinterest community is an amazing way to get your questions answered.
Not only this, you get to know about the latest updates on Pinterest, if you’re a part of this community.
How to Join the Pinterest Community?
There are two ways of doing this.
First, go to your Pinterest profile and click on ‘Settings’.
Now, click on the last option i.e. Branded Content.
You’ll see three options here. Click on the last one — ‘Get Support from Pinterest Creator Community.’
Fill in the basic details.
Once you’re inside the community, you need to introduce yourself to get started.
This is an example of my introduction⬇️
You also need to introduce yourself to other creators.
But, don’t expect your first post to be approved within seconds.
It first needs to be approved by the Community Manager/Pinterest Team.
You’ll receive mail once your post is approved.
After the introduction, you’re supposed to complete your profile.
You’ll see these little badges when you’ve completed your profile.
The whole Pinterest community is divided into different sub-communities, as stated hereunder ⬇️:
- Welcome Center: This is where new users can find guides and tips to get started on the community.
