“If I could figure out Pinterest marketing that would be Great™”

omg same!!

it’s annoying because i know how to use pinterest and it’s duh. very image based. but i’m not sure how to perfect my strategy for my text-based content (yet)

what i’ve gathered: 

every pin on pinterest sources back to a blog or tutorial. so you have to have external content to link to somewhere on the web

the titles are pretty much clickbait. listicles and quick-fix tips. 5 Undeniable Gardening Tips. Easy Recipe Substitutes. 

canva is your best tool for making posters though. you can whip up some really cute stuff with it

pinterest kinda utilizes a very specific look. it’s similar to instagram’s aesthetic but not quite like tumblr’s. (they all have their own Ideal Image Type, i feel like)

those are the tips i’ve gathered for how to maximize traffic to your site with the optimal pinterest post. what i haven’t mastered is the key to getting that content found in the first place and really elevating the Interest in your Pins.

shrewasyouplease replied to your post “okay but how uncommon is it to put milk in your tea?”

I didn't think it was uncommon to put it in hot, black tea. When I worked in a tea house, it was considered weird to put it in hot green tea (not cold) or herbal tea.

i literally add milk and sugar to everything. some herbal teas are naturally sweet, like peppermint and ginger and cinnamon tea, so i sometimes will not add anything to those and when i do people usually scold me for liking my tea “too sweet”

ivyarum replied to your post “okay but how uncommon is it to put milk in your tea?”

It's a British/West Indian countries colonized by the British thing I think.  My American friends always be like ??? If I add milk to my tea but that's how I always had it growing up

Yeah, I picked it up from growing up, too. Often I don’t even add whole milk; in my family we’ll use either evaporated or condensed. It never occurred to me that it might strike people as odd. But my friend is Dominican, so maybe that might explain why she’s never heard of the practice.

Zoo

My Favorite Animal: I really love kittens!! Cats are 100% my favorite animal, as I am deep down a cat myself. I am also fond of some tiny creatures as well, such as:

snails

worms

house spiders (big spiders scare me but small ones are nice)

bees 

all of them are quiet, gentle and harmless and spiders & bees in particular try their best to be helpful and don’t get the appreciation they deserve
