What is the Pinterest pin share button?<\/a>
\n

The\u00a0Pinterest Pin share button<\/a>\u00a0allows your audience to save your photos, videos, and other content onto their Pinterest boards<\/strong>. More specifically, it makes it possible to\u00a0share to Pinterest in a single click\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 no new tab, no app-switching, no navigating away from your page required. You want to avoid all that, because you want your audience to\u00a0stay on your page<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pin It button is an awesome way to make your brand discoverable via Pinterest and drive back new visitors to your site: Your audience pins your content, then a new audience finds it on Pinterest and opens your site to read more. It\u2019s exactly how social sharing is meant to work. And it\u2019s easy, thanks to the ShareThis Pinterest pin share button. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How do I share a pin on Pinterest?<\/a>
\n

If you\u2019re a frequent pinner, the easiest way to share a pin on Pinterest is\u00a0via the platform\u2019s browser button<\/strong>. The catch: You\u2019ll have to download the button (provided it\u2019s compatible with your browser), peg it to your favorites and\/or browser bar, and then find it whenever you want to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An even easier way to\u00a0share to Pinterest<\/strong>\u00a0requires a bit of brand savvy: If a website, blog, or brand has installed a\u00a0Pinterest Pin share button<\/a>\u00a0on their website, then all of their\u00a0pages, posts, photos, video, and other content are automatically pinnable<\/strong>, in a\u00a0single click<\/strong>. Just look for the Pinterest share button, either pegged to a certain location (ex. below the lead photo) or stuck to the left-hand side of the page.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How do I add Pinterest to my website?<\/a>
\n

Well, that depends on what you mean by adding Pinterest to your website. If you\u2019re looking to embed your Pinterest feed into your website so visitors can see a specific board or all your pins, then you\u2019ll need a widget or some sort of shortcode, plus a section where you\u2019ll add that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, if you\u2019re asking how to add a Pinterest \u201cPin It\u201d button to your site \u2013 in other words, how to\u00a0enable readers to share to Pinterest from your website or blog<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 then, the answer is easy. All you\u2019ll need is the\u00a0ShareThis Pinterest Pin share button<\/a>\u00a0(see installation instructions, one question up) and you are all set for onsite pinning.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How do I get more Pinterest followers?<\/a>
\n

The absolute, dead-easiest way to get more Pinterest followers is to\u00a0invite the people who already follow you to also follow you on Pinterest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of putting all your efforts into getting Pinterest followers, merely invite people already on your website, reading your blog, ogling your photos, and watching your videos \u2013 in other words, the people who already enjoy your content \u2013 to follow you on Pinterest. The\u00a0Pinterest follow button<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0makes it simple<\/strong>: Install the button on your site, and your\u00a0visitors can follow you in one, single click<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":14872,"parent":15265,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-15335","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nPinterest Pin Share Button | Let Users Pin Your Content<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Pinterest Pin share button allows your audience to save your photos, videos and photos onto their Pinterest boards.
