Advice:

On Pinterest, schedule pins, make sure you have excellent graphics that are optimised for Pinterest, pin with purpose…

Me:

I’ma pin nerd and Queer sh**… and pictures of cats… and no-one’s got time to make THAT many optimised images!

…I stand by my choices.

Look, there are around a million social media networks (rough and totally unresearched estimate,) — it’s not worth your time to optimise all of them.

I have socials which I work hard on (Twitter, mostly,) and socials which I pay less attention to, but don’t do my SEO any harm, so it’s good to have them.

I’ve tried the whole ‘put all the effort you can into every account you sign up for’ thing — it’s a quick way to burn yourself out.

That’s not to say I’ll never go back and try to optimise and fit things to the various internet tips for the platform — ‘never’ is a very long time — but for now, I’m good with just having fun on Pinterest, and getting some bonus SEO-fuel in the bargain!

(And if Queer stuff, nerdy memes, and cats, are your thing, you can check out my Pinterest here 😁)
