makes it easier for people to share

3. Every blog post should include a portrait image with a 2:3 aspect ratio, as this
is the perfect style of image for Pinning. Square images can also work, but the
portrait layout is by far the preferred option. You will also want to make sure
that the image is visually striking, making it more attractive to pinners.

4. Creating an appealing image with
a text overlay can help to give
context to pins. It is more likely
that someone will pin this type of
image rather than a generic stock
image! As noted previously,
portrait is best for Pinterest, but
landscape works well on
Facebook and Twitter. Why not
think about including both
versions to really up your social
media game?

5. Short infographics offer both visual appeal and a Pinterest-ready image in
one! Traditionally, infographics are fairly long, but if you focus on just one or
two take outs from your blog, you can create a Pinterest friendly short
version! You don't need to be an expert to design your own infographics,
there are many great online tools that will help you.

6. To summarize, the three most
important ways to optimize your
blog posts for Pinterest include:
Adding pinnable images to all
previously published blog
posts, Inserting title images to
give context, and using
infographics.
