Why You Absolutely Need To Brand Your Pinterest Profile
Pinterest is all about visuals, so it only makes sense to make your profile as visually appealing as possible! Adding board covers to your Pinterest boards keeps your feed organized and makes it easier for your audience to look through them.
The first step is to design your covers
There are several different ways to create board covers:
- You can download my Photoshop template above which includes 20 736 px x 736 px art boards that can be customized in any way you'd like.
- If you don't have Photoshop, you could go to Canva or PicMonkey and create square graphics.
- If you don't fancy yourself a creative person and would rather I redesign your Pinterest profile for you, I can do that!
It helps to write a list of all of your Pinterest boards so you know how many squares you will need and what titles to put on the covers.Then you need to decide what you want the boards to look like. If you need some inspiration, there are many pinners who have done a great job branding their boards:Also, I'm a huge font person and I think that a great font is the key to a great design. I made a list of my favorite FREE fonts that you can use to spice up your covers.
Next, add your board covers to Pinterest
To upload your image to Pinterest, go to the upper right corner and find the + icon.Click "Upload image."When "Save from a device" pops up, upload your image.Select "Continue."Then choose the board that the cover was made for.
Finally, set your upload as your cover
Go to your Pinterest profile and hover over your board - as I did on the design board shown below. A pencil icon will appear. Click on this to pull up the board settings.Board editing settings will pop up. Click on the "Change" button in the cover section.You will see your recent pins on the specific board you are editing. Click the arrows until you find your board cover. Save your changes! You're all done!Drop your Pinterest link in the comments below so we can see what you have done with your board covers!
