Pinterest Story Pins for the Beginner that Stand out

Okay,  my first suggestion is when you’re making story pins, upload a video first, then add a few pictures to your slide. This is in light of the fact that by having a video in any case, you will help your story pin stand out against most pins.

On the Pinterest feed, most are photos, so your video will command more attention and hopefully ACTION.

 

I also suggest you add text overlay on top of your video since this additionally helps let your audience know what it’s about and thus click/save your pin.

 

Did you know you can make a straightforward video for your first slide in the story pin via an App? 

What are the picture or video proportions suggested for story pins? According to Pinterest, it should be 1000 wide x 1500 tall, or 9 to 16′. The prescribed maximum video size is, 50 megabytes and for photos 32 megabytes.

The beauty is you can create one via the App or use trusty canva.com which comes with optimized templates and thousands of stock images.

 

I highly recommend you make your video a little snippet leading to the longer menu on YouTube or on your blog, or even your Facebook live. That means I would make my Pinterest story video 3-4 seconds long.

I promise you that regardless of whether you’ve never made a video you will find that it’s extremely simple to make video pins utilizing a ton of predesigned templates inside Canva.

Plus with Canva you can utilize your own photographs, recordings that you made with your telephone and you can take recordings or stock photographs from different stages or even the content from your site and utilize every last bit of it to make videos for story pins.
