So if you’ve been trying to grow your YouTube channel, get more views on your videos, or build your following on Instagram and Facebook, Pinterest can assist you to roll in the hay.

Quick Links Pin a Facebook image on Pinterest Pin an Instagram post on Pinterest Pina YouTube video on Pinterest Pin a Facebook survive Pinterest Pin a Facebook image on Pinterest You won’t be ready to use this method to share link posts (which are any posts that link to external websites, landing pages, and blog posts).

So you’ve got two options here: You can edit the caption before you reserve it for Pinterest. Or, you’ll save the pin with the prevailing caption and edit the pin description later. If you opt that you simply want to use the Instagram pin to drive traffic to, say, a blog post, you’ll change the link to your website URL.

There are two ways you’ll pin YouTube videos: First, use the Pin it Button to share it directly from the video page. once you do that, your thumbnail image will become the pin image.

In the pop-up window, select Save from Site and enter the URL for your YouTube video.

Change the URL of your video pin to redirect to your website. Don’t forget to feature keywords and hashtags to the outline so people can find your video pin!
