Tip: 

Pinning! We watched a fun podcast yesterday from The Manly Pinterest Tips Show. Here are a few things we took away from the conversation.

1. Long, vertical images do better.

2. Pin with branded images – images matter and could make you recognizable.

3. Create an infograph to go with the link to your blog. You can create one for each point you make. They recommend Canva.
