Pinterest – Things to Pin A graphic with a quote, saying, or inspirational

message. A graphic with your blog post headline. Before & after photos that show the result of

your service or expertise. PRO TIP: Stack them under each other rather than side by side.

Images of you, your team, your office, your inspiration or motivation (people like to know the face of the business).

A humorous image such as a comic or meme. A photo or scan of an illustration, scrapbook

page, doodle pad, brainstorm, or sketch.
