Facebook  &  Pinterest  Report  How  to  Use  Social  Media’s  Top  2  Platforms  to  Get  More  Traffic,  

Customers  &  Sales  

Are  you  looking  to  build  a  strong  Pinterest  following?  

Did  you  know  that  you  can  integrate  your  Facebook  and  Pinterest  marketing  to  get  your  more  followers,  exposure  and  sales  fast?  

Yes,  there’s  a  way  to  get  Facebook  fans  to  create  exposure  for  you  on  Pinterest.  

Establishing  a  large  audience  of  followers  on  Pinterest  is  one  of  the  most  important  aspects  of  a  successful  Pinterest  marketing  campaign.  

Here’s  the  skinny:  Although  during  the  setup  process  you  can  choose  to  link  your  Pinterest  account  to  your  Facebook  personal  page,  there  is  currently  no  way  to  automatically  hook  up  to  your  Facebook  fan  page.  

So  what’s  a  business  to  do?  

The  truth  is  most  business  owners  have  not  figured  out  a  solution.  They  are  failing  on  Pinterest  because  they  think  that  they  have  to  build  a  new  following  from  scratch.  Well,  that  is  patently  untrue.  

Here  are  five  ways  to  use  Facebook  to  build  your  Pinterest  following.  

#1:  Get  a  Pinterest  Tab  for  Your  Facebook  Fan  Page  

The  easiest  thing  to  do  is  just  go  to  Woobox  and  create  a  Pinterest  tab  for  your  Facebook  fan  page.  

 

Easily  get  a  Pinterest  tab  for  your  Facebook  fan  page  from  Woobox.  

It’s  very  simple  to  do  and  requires  little  to  no  technical  skills.  Within  minutes,  you  can  have  your  Pinterest  account  in  front  of  thousands  of  your  fans!  This  way,  whenever  people  come  to  your  Facebook  page  to  either  check  out  your  latest  posts  or  learn  more  about  you,  they  can  also  see  that  you  are  on  Pinterest.  

The  Pinterest  tab  allows  fans  to  view  all  of  your  boards  and  even  your  pins  while  staying  on  the  Facebook  platform.  They  will  not  be  transferred  over  to  Pinterest  until  they  try  to  repin  or  comment  on  one  of  your  pins.  

 

Within  just  a  few  clicks  you  can  easily  create  a  Pinterest  tab  for  your  Facebook  fan  page.

#2:  Post  Pinterest  Links  as  Updates  on  Your  Facebook  Page  

There  are  a  few  different  ways  to  use  your  Facebook  status  updates  to  promote  your  activity  on  Pinterest.  

One  way  to  build  your  follower  base  is  to  share  the  direct  link  to  your  Pinterest  page  as  a  status  update  and  tell  your  fans  WHY  they  should  follow  you  on  Pinterest.  

What  helpful  information  or  cool  contests  will  they  have  access  to?  Are  there  exclusive  promotions?  Why  should  they  follow  you  on  Pinterest  AND  Facebook?  

 

Example  post  of  a  Facebook  status  update  promoting  a  Pinterest  business  account.  

The  more  specific  you  can  be  about  the  type  of  value  you  are  creating  for  your  followers  on  Pinterest,  the  more  likely  your  fans  will  join  you  there  too.  

#3:  Promote  Specific  Boards  on  Your  Facebook  Page  

On  Pinterest,  people  can  choose  to  either  follow  all,  or  just  a  few,  of  your  boards.  

Because  of  that  feature,  you  may  find  success  promoting  specific  Pinterest  boards  on  your  Facebook  fan  page.  

I  recommend  you  promote  a  few  different  boards  throughout  the  week.  

That  way,  you  have  the  opportunity  to  showcase  your  Pinterest  account  to  a  wider  audience  on  Facebook,  and  you  can  introduce  them  to  the  diverse  areas  of  value  shared  on  your  Pinterest  page.  

There  are  two  ways  you  can  promote  a  specific  Pinterest  board  on  Facebook.  

• Update  your  status  by  uploading  an  image  of  a  pin  to  Facebook.  Add  a  description  and  include  a  link  to  the  board  on  which  that  pin  is  featured.  

 

Example  Facebook  post  promoting  a  particular  Pinterest  board.  

This  works  well  if  you  have  a  really  compelling  image,  because  it  will  be  granted  more  space  on  the  Facebook  newsfeed  than  a  link.  

• Post  the  link  to  your  Pinterest  board  as  part  of  a  status  update.  An  image  of  one  of  your  pins  on  that  board  will  be  automatically  generated.  

 

Generate  a  full  board  preview  (photo  and  all)  by  posting  the  board's  direct  URL  .  

Posting  the  link  will  also  automatically  include  the  text  in  your  board  description.  

Make  sure  that  you  add  proper  descriptions  of  the  content  when  setting  up  your  boards.  I’m  always  amazed  by  how  few  people  take  advantage  of  this  opportunity.  

Look  how  brilliantly  realtor  Raj  Qsar  utilizes  this  space  for  his  branding  purposes.  

His  board  description  reads:  

“Raj  Qsar  &  Premier  Orange  County  Real  Estate  –  is  one  of  the  most  dominant  Real  Estate  Teams  in  the  Orange  County  Real  Estate  Market.  For  over  15  years  Team  Raj  Qsar  has  held  the  philosophy  to  give  the  best  service  and  most  qualified  advice  to  both  buyers  &  sellers.  

Implementing  honesty  and  integrity  at  the  highest  level  possible  and  to  enjoy  the  entire  process  along  the  way.  We  are  truly  passionate  about  real  estate.”  

 

Take  advantage  of  the  description  area  below  your  board  titles  for  adding  value  to  your  brand  and  board.  

To  add  a  description  to  one  of  your  boards,  simply  click  Edit  Board  and  fill  in  the  Description  field.  

 

Add  a  description  to  your  board  by  clicking  the  "Edit  Board"  button  at  the  top  of  your  Pinterest  board  page.  

#4:  How  to  Promote  a  Particular  Pin  

Sometimes  the  best  way  to  really  serve  your  Facebook  community  is  to  highlight  the  value  that  you  are  providing  in  one  particular  pin.  

This  is  a  great  way  to  get  maximum  exposure  when  pinning  your  own  original  content.  Remember  these  posts  can  and  will  be  shared  across  Facebook  by  your  fans.  

The  same  two  strategies  apply  here,  as  they  do  to  promote  a  specific  board  above.  You  can  either  upload  the  image  of  the  pin  as  a  status  

update  (or  include  a  link  in  the  image  description),  or  you  can  just  include  the  direct  link  to  the  pin  in  your  status  area.  

 

Promote  a  particular  pin  by  pasting  the  pin's  direct  URL  into  your  Facebook  status  update.  

When  you  post  a  direct  link  to  a  pin  as  a  status  on  Facebook,  the  following  information  will  be  automatically  added  and  visible:  

• The  image  of  your  pin  • The  name  of  the  board  that  includes  the  pin  • The  caption  that  has  been  added  to  your  pin  

So  make  sure  you  have  fully  optimized  both  your  board  title  and  caption  for  maximum  impact.  Focus  on  creating  intriguing  board  titles  and  including  a  further  explanation  of  value  in  the  caption.  

#5:  Promote  Your  Pinterest  Contests  on  Facebook  

Contests  and  promotions  are  becoming  all  the  rage  on  Pinterest.  They  are  a  very  effective  way  to  quickly  add  a  lot  of  new  followers  and  drive  a  ton  of  traffic  to  your  site.  

Unlike  Facebook,  there  are  no  real  restrictions  regarding  the  way  contests  are  promoted  and  hosted  on  Pinterest.  A  great  way  to  leverage  both  platforms  is  to  promote  your  Pinterest  contest  on  your  Facebook  fan  page.  

 

Example  of  how  Bergdorf  Goodman  promoted  their  Pinterest  contest  on  their  Facebook  fan  page.  

Bergdorf  Goodman  recently  promoted  their  Pinterest  contest  on  their  Facebook  fan  page  by  posting  an  image  of  one  of  the  prizes  with  a  brief  explanation.  They  included  a  link  to  their  blog  within  the  description  of  the  image  where  fans  could  find  more  details  about  how  to  enter.  

Hopefully  you’ve  found  these  five  ways  to  use  Facebook  to  build  your  audience  on  Pinterest  helpful.  I  know  from  personal  experience  that  introducing  your  fan  base  to  your  presence  on  Pinterest  is  an  effective  way  to  get  more  followers.  

Despite  all  the  hype  surrounding  Pinterest,  Facebook  is  still  the  largest  social  media  network.  Why  not  leverage  the  audience  you  have  already  built  there  and  let  them  fast-­‐track  your  success  on  Pinterest?
