An Authors “How To” Guide to Building An Online Presence :: Pinterest (part 2)

Welcome to week 8 of my ‘How To’ blog series.
Last week I went over Pinterest and how an author could use the site to their advantage by creating story boards for their books and creating custom Pin It buttons for your website.
This week I’m going to show you a quick and easy way to incorporate those story boards you’ve created directly onto your website pages.
Head over to your Pinterest page and click on any of the boards you’ve created. At the top of the board, you’ll see a small menu. This is where you’ll find the html coding for the board. Click the arrows on the right to bring up the html text box.
Copy and paste the html into your webpage where you would like the board to go and save your work. The board is now a ‘live link’ that will take readers to Pinterest, and to your board, when they click on the “See on Pinterest” button.
This is a great tool to get readers more involved with your story by giving them visual insight into your story. You don’t have to just paint pictures with words now, you can show them your inspiration through story boards.
Go ahead and make a few of your own and get them onto those story pages. Your readers will thank you for it!
I still have tutorials on Scrivener (writing software), Google Docs, Google Calendars (and how to add those to your website), Production Schedules and creating Weekly/Daily ‘To Do’ List yet to cover, so get your name on the list so you don’t miss out.
And as always, if you found this post useful and informative, be sure to share it with your friends!
