In case you missed it, we hosted another #PABgirltalk Twitter chat last Thursday!
This time we talked about one of our current obsessions: Pinterest! Below are some of our favorite responses from the chat.
Want to join #PABgirltalk? Tune in Thursday, October 16 at 8 p. m. EST for a discussion on branding yourself! Find us @PinkandBlackMag. See you there!
@PinkandBlackMag A1: Pinterest is often used as a form of search engine for some. Acting as inspiration too #pabgirltalk

@PinkandBlackMag A1: because you can simply pin your blog posts & anyone can randomly come across them without you doing a lot of work.

A1: Pinterest is a great way to share content from your site, especially if you use eye-catching, high-quality photos! #PABgirltalk

@PinkandBlackMag A2: I use the @ symbol to tag people/brands most of time, i rarely ever use # on pinterest #PABgirltalk
— Paige Brown (@PrSophisticated) October 10, 2014
@PinkandBlackMag yeah. I find people are searching phrases and not hashtags like they do on Instagram and/or Twitter

A2 Using a branded hashtag on Pinterest might be of value. For instance, I use #Ambitionista to direct back to my biz #PABgirltalk

@PinkandBlackMag it allows multiple people to share for one theme or idea.

@PinkandBlackMag A3: it’s good way to collaborate outside of a blog. I wouldn’t mind having a group fashion board #PABgirltalk
— Paige Brown (@PrSophisticated) October 10, 2014
A3: Group boards are a great way to collaborate with others and help promote your Pinterest profile as well! @chicademics #PABgirltalk

@PinkandBlackMag It’s so easy. The visuals! Photography always inspires me. #PABgirltalk

A4 Inspiration: my fav use for Pinterest is in branding phase of startup. Pin everything you like, it tells a story #PABgirltalk

@PinkandBlackMag I have a To-Buy list. I figured not everyone needed to see it. Lol #pabgirltalk
— Alexis Briggs (@chicademics) October 10, 2014
@PinkandBlackMag I have a few that aren’t fashion related, but they don’t fit with my blog brand image so they aren’t public #PABgirltalk
— Paige Brown (@PrSophisticated) October 10, 2014
@PinkandBlackMag A5 not yet. But we see the use for them for projects that we don’t want to give away! #pabgirlchat

@PinkandBlackMag A6: organize by the Pinterest Categories, with your own spin- helps make them visible, and helpful!!
— Leah K (@chatwithleahk) October 10, 2014
@PinkandBlackMag have specific boards for each category (fall fashion, winter fashion etc) it helps for searching #pabgirltalk
— 5 o’clock Fashion (@5oclockfashion) October 10, 2014
A6: Make sure you have effective names and descriptions for all of your Pinterest boards to help others find your content! #PABgirltalk
— Pink & Black (@PinkandBlackMag) October 10, 2014
@PinkandBlackMag A7 nothing on there should be anything you wouldn’t stand up for! Brand voice should follow suite on Pinterest #pabgirltalk
— 5 o’clock Fashion (@5oclockfashion) October 10, 2014
@PinkandBlackMag They should reflect your aesthetic. Pinterest is a much more effective version of Tumblr. #pabgirltalk
— Alexis Briggs (@chicademics) October 10, 2014
A7: Pinterest boards should reflect your brand by being an extension of your own content #pabgirltalk

@PinkandBlackMag me! Jk – I love @GlitterGuide and @TheEverygirl_ #pabgirltalk
