Pin down the right number of Pins for Pinterest!
“How Often to Post on Pinterest
The recommended minimum is 3 Pins per day, with a maximum of 30 Pins per day. Posting more than 30 Pins per day does not show any additional benefits.”
How often should you post on Social Media?
“Most studies agree that once per day is optimal, with a maximum of two posts per day.
Hubspot found that pages under 10,000 fans experienced a 50% drop in engagement per post if they posted more than once per day.
At a minimum, you should post to your Facebook Pages 3 times per week.”

Social Media Influencers
The use of Influencers in social media is growing. What is that you ask? An Influencer is someone who has their own social media network. You connect with them to get recommendations. So the Image Consultant connects to the Premier Jewelry consultant and the cabi consultant. Her reach is extended. She gets instant credibility from the people who trust the other two consultants. Influencers with large followings can be paid or compensated in some way for their posts. Who could be an Influencer for your business?
Why is Post Frequency Important?
“Why is post frequency important? As Neil Patel says,
If you post too infrequently, your audience will forget that you exist and you will quickly fade into the deep dark recesses of their minds. However, if you are posting too often, you will become a complete nuisance and they will dread seeing your posts overcrowding their feed.
So here’s what the research says, to help you get this right.
I share my own posting frequency. Don’t try to max out every platform – unless you have unlimited time or funds. ”

Wondering how often to post on social media?
“Wondering how often to post on social media?
Great question. The short answer is, “As often as you can post quality content, consistently.” Quality and consistency are key to social media success.
The longer answer is: Recent studies have shown that there really are optimal posting frequencies for the different social media platforms.
And the good news is, it’s probably not as often as you may have heard! That Facebook Page posting hourly, or Twitter account posting every 15 minutes? Forgetaboutit. Maybe it works for accounts with 100,000’s of followers, but it doesn’t work for the average business using social media marketing.
Whew!”

Pinning Calendar to Help You Plan
Here is a calendar and some very interesting stats about pinning. My Marketing Calendar looks different but follows the same concept.
Privacy at Pinterest
Pinterest is working hard to become a profitable company. Yea, American capitalism! They’ve add “Promoted Pins” which you pay for. Now they’re adding in “Buying Pins” to let you buy directly through them. They’re going to have your credit card info and share it with the seller. Is this convenience really worth the risk you’re taking? It’s so much trouble to go to the buyer’s site and make a purchase?! Now your credit card info is sitting in two places waiting to be hacked.
In addition, Pinterest is going to start tracking your purchases. See their example in the text below. I encourage each of you to go into your settings and turn off “Order History.” You don’t need Pinterest “helping” you decide what to buy.
These may seem like little things, not worth the bother to stop. But THINK! You are giving out your private info. Of course, someone is going to use it. Of course, someone is going to steal it. So stop the problem at the beginning. Don’t buy through Pinterest. Turn off their tracking mechanism.
Pay attention! Be careful about sharing information. You can stop a lot of the invasion of privacy with simple steps. You can control a lot of your privacy and security.
PS – I can’t take about privacy or security without discussing passwords. You need to use strong passwords. You need to have a different password for every account, not one password that you use everywhere. Read this article about a simple password method. I’ve been using it for 3-4 years now and can assure you it works and works easily.
“Soon, we’ll launch buyable Pins to U.S. Pinners on iPhone and iPad. Today, we’re rolling out a few updates to our Privacy Policy to help you understand how these buyable Pins will work. Here’s a quick look at those updates.
1. When you buy something on Pinterest, you’ll need to share some payment and contact info with us so that we can complete your order. We’ll save this info so you don’t have to type it in next time you make a purchase. We’ll also share this info with the seller, and they’ll treat it as if you bought from their website directly.
2. We also hope to make Promoted Pins even more relevant and useful to Pinners like you. For example, if you purchased a camping tent on Pinterest, we may show you Promoted Pins for other outdoorsy products.
If you don’t want your purchases to be used to customize Pinterest, just go to “Order history” from your account settings and swipe to hide your purchases.
