How To Add Pinterest Pin It Bookmarklet So You Can Pin From Any Websites

by 2 Comments

A Pinterest Bookmarklet Allows You To Pin From Any Site

Using Pinterest For BusinessNow that you have set up your Pinterest account you want to start pinning images onto your various pinboards. 


Pin by Re-Pinning. You can do that by re-pinning images that you see on others’ board or you can pin images, infographs and videos that you see on websites if they have the Pin It Button installed.


Pin Using Pin It Buttons. Some websites have added Pin It Button (like the one you see here) onto their website and blog posts. So if you click on the Pin It buttons on the sites you visit it you’ll be able to pin the image from these websites.


Pin Using Bookmarlets. Some sites have not installed the Pin It Buttons yet. So in case you are wondering how you can pin from these site, don’t worry. The fastest and easiest way to Pin images from any website is to make use of a Pin It Bookmarklet. These can sit on your tool bar or you can save them as bookmarks or favourites. 


This is something very easily done. Depending on which browser you are using to surf the internet (whether it is Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorere) the steps are slightly different. And I have made a short video to walk you through this step by step so you don’t have to feel lost and can start pinning in 5 minutes!

Happy Friday! And to those celebrating Ramadan, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Traffic in town has been fantastic this past week as many have traveled out of the city. But in case you are still in holiday mood, it’s time to get ready for work again!
Between resting and celebrating, I managed to slot in a Social Media Seminar in town this week.  Here are some videos if you like to see what we did! (seminar was conducted in Mandarin but participants shared in many languages! Those multi talented people at Hai-O are fantastic).
This week I received a number of questions concerning Pinterest. I am including the more commonly asked questions here in case you are also wondering about them:
1 – Do I really need a Pinterest account?
Pinterest allows your to show case your business visually and it’s easy to use. Pretty product images get shared easily (and they go viral quickly). Pinterest is generating a lot of traffic and growing at an exponential rate. It is something worth watching out for if images of your service offerings and product help your target market understand you better.
Most people are visual and are drawn to images. The most viewed and shared posts on Facebook are photos. Lately many are saving quotes as image and those are showing up as more attractive and are getting more views and shares.
Instagram and Pinterest are popular because visuals are attractive and there is no need to compose text. Pinterest makes is easy for your audience to share. So if you like what you see, click “repin”, “like”, or “share” and that seems to catch on with many people. Plus who can resist things nice and beautiful?
2 – How do I set up my Business Pinterest Account?
Same way you set up a Personal Account (step by step instructions with diagram) are given in this guide. The question to ask is: do you need 2 accounts? Pinterest is a lifestyle social media platform. By pinning photos and images of things that interest you, you inject personality into your business. 
3 – What is the difference between a Business Account and a Personal one? 
At the moment, Pinterest does not make any distinction between the 2 kinds of accounts.  
4 – How do I make sure others credit the image back to me?
The answer is you can’t. It is common etiquette to give credit where credit is due. So in repinning and sharing, we accredit the source. But there are some who may not follow this etiquette when using Pinterest. What we can do is to ensure that we are nice!
Some have not yet heard about Pinterest. Most find it quite interesting and would like to find out more about it. If you are interested to find out more about Pinterest I have a free report that’ll tell you how to get started with Pinterest. Feel free to download it, print it, book mark it, like it, share it or comment on it and let me know if this is helpful.

Here’s the free Pinterest report that’ll tell you what you need to know to get started on using Pinterest now. Feel free to download it, print it, book mark it, like it, share it or comment on it and let me know if this is helpful. Your Pinterest Guide Here.

LinkedIn For ProfessionalsCareer Suicide on LinkedIn? Or Corporate Crisis? 
This past week I had to encourage (more like convince) one “perfectionist” private coaching client to celebrate her many achievements. 

While there is a place for tracking, monitoring and tweaking, there are very valid reasons to celebrate and anchor in successes rather than focusing on how much more one could have done. 
Small wins build up to bigger wins. And any progress is a step closer to what you want to achieve. So do celebrate your wins! And when you are focused and committed on implementing and taking action, with proper guidance you are bound to have great wins each week!

Corporations too are asking for workshops on Social Media.
