People frequently ask what images really need to be successful on Pinterest. They ask questions such as what size images need be, what colors should be used and if text is necessary. While there isn’t a one-size fits all answer, there are some general best practices.
In this week’s podcast episode I chat with blogger and entrepreneur Joseph Michael. Joseph hadn’t given much thought to Pinterest until he wrote a blog post for his site, Efficient Life Skills, that was pinned and took his blog from a few hundred visitors a day to thousands of visitors per day.
As of the writing of this, the image below has been pinned over 378,000 times! Take a close look, it seems to break the rules when it comes to what makes an image pinnable doesn’t it?

Join me at the New Media Expo in Las Vegas, January 4-6, 2014! I’m so excited to be presenting about Pinterest at NMX this year. I’ve attended this conference twice and I can say without a doubt that my business would not be where it is now if I hadn’t attended.
If you’re thinking about going and have questions please don’t hesitate to give me a shout. At the conference approaches, prices will go up so get your tickets soon.
A MeetUp is in the works and it would be great to see you there!
(I do earn a commission on NMX tickets sold through my site. I appreciate your support, thanks!)
