Stacey_WB Hello! #indiechat -9:02 PM Jun 19th, 2012
laurapauling @chriswhigham502 do you want to start off by
telling us a little bit about yourself? #indiechat -9:02 PM Jun 19th, 2012
susankayequinn I have a question to kick us off: how do you
use Pinterest? Mostly pin, like, repin, comment? #indiechat -9:02 PM Jun 19th,
2012
chriswhigham502 Sure! I've run a social media management
company for 2 years. I run social media for 31 companies 24/7 #indiechat -9:03

susankayequinn @laurapauling: Sorry, Laura! :) #jumpedit
#indiechat -9:03 PM Jun 19th, 2012
laurapauling @chriswhigham502 Wow that's a lot of
experience? Do you encourage everyone to join Pinterest? #indiechat -9:04 PM
Jun 19th, 2012
laurapauling @susankayequinn No prob. That's why we're here
to ask questions! #indiechat -9:04 PM Jun 19th, 2012
susankayequinn @chriswhigham502: I do a lot of social media
myself, but I'm still not sure what a social media management company does?
#indiechat -9:04 PM Jun 19th, 2012
chriswhigham502 Almost everyone. Most companies can use it
for marketing, but it's pure fun for everyone #indiechat -9:05 PM Jun 19th,
2012
laurapauling @susankayequinn Oo good question. #indiechat
-9:05 PM Jun 19th, 2012
RaShelleWorkman Hi Chris, and fellow Indelibles. I'm here,

-9:05 PM Jun 19th, 2012
chriswhigham502 @susankayequinn I actually manage their
social media platforms...Facebook, Linked In, Twitter, etc, so they don't have

companies can use it for marketing, but its pure fun for everyone (Pinterest)

-9:07 PM Jun 19th, 2012
laurapauling @patricialynne07 ice cream is a must!
#indiechat -9:07 PM Jun 19th, 2012
chriswhigham502 @laurapauling Great question! First, create
the account...an obvious start! Then, there are a few rules that are important
#indiechat -9:08 PM Jun 19th, 2012
susankayequinn @meggjensen: For me, I mostly pin-and-dash. I
"like" & repin sometimes, but mostly I use Pinterest to store
cool stuff. #indiechat -9:08 PM Jun 19th, 2012
Froze8 I use pinterest to pin or repin, rarely do I comment
#indiechat -9:08 PM Jun 19th, 2012
laurapauling Writing this down...create account....(kidding)
#indiechat -9:08 PM Jun 19th, 2012
chriswhigham502 @laurapauling 1) be yourself. Your followers
want to know about you. 2) Be social. Interact with them, respond to comments
#indiechat -9:08 PM Jun 19th, 2012
laurapauling @chriswhigham502 Sounds very similar to rules
for most social media. #indiechat -9:09 PM Jun 19th, 2012
meggjensen @laurapauling lol! #indiechat -9:09 PM Jun 19th,
2012
laurapauling @susankayequinn Like what do you store?
#indiechat -9:09 PM Jun 19th, 2012
chriswhigham502 @laurapauling 3) Pin, Repin, and Like Like
Like! The more u like and repin other's pins, the more quality followers you'll
get #indiechat -9:09 PM Jun 19th, 2012
Stacey_WB @chriswhigham502 That's definitely where my
account is lacking - I don't think I've ever replied to a comment. Big DUH!

KatGirl_Studio I use Pinterest to post inspiration images
for various projects. My readers like to know where my inspiration comes from.
#indiechat -9:10 PM Jun 19th, 2012
chriswhigham502 @laurapauling It really is. Nothing new.
But, as far as a medium, it is very different.Everything you pin needs to be
very visual #indiechat -9:10 PM Jun 19th, 2012
meggjensen @ChrisWhigham502 is it okay to include
professional & personal pins in Pinterest or should we keep it pro?
#indiechat -9:10 PM Jun 19th, 2012
susankayequinn @laurapauling Reviews I like #booklove, cool
mindjacking pictures/articles #research, authors I want to be #authorlove

it as inspiration for new projects. I also put teasers on there. #indiechat
-9:11 PM Jun 19th, 2012
Stacey_WB @susankayequinn I'm the same, I use it to keep
track of cover art for the most part. #indiechat -9:11 PM Jun 19th, 2012
LM_Preston @chriswhigham502 What tools do you use to make
social media management easier? #indiechat -9:11 PM Jun 19th, 2012
patricialynne07 I have pinterest but I got it for when my
nephew bugs me about fire trucks and not writing. lol #indiechat -9:11 PM Jun
19th, 2012
chriswhigham502 @meggjensen It should actually be MORE
personal than professional. They want to know there's a human behind your
books! #indiechat -9:11 PM Jun 19th, 2012
chel_c_cam Just don't go on it when you're hungry.

running contests there, does Pinterest? #indiechat -9:16 PM Jun 19th, 2012

struggle keeping up w/ what I do use. #indiechat -9:16 PM Jun 19th, 2012

cool ideas an author could use on Pinterest #indiechat -9:16 PM Jun 19th, 2012

Zellie board and have gotten readers from that! You NEVER know. #indiechat
-9:16 PM Jun 19th, 2012
RaShelleWorkman As with any social media, it has to be
something you'll enjoy doing. It has to be personal, or it isn't worth it.
#indiechat -9:16 PM Jun 19th, 2012
patricialynne07 @susankayequinn If I decide to bring my
writing to my account, it will be for fun too. Just not sure how. #indiechat

we're just doing PInterest for marketing. #indiechat -9:17 PM Jun 19th, 2012

up to a point. You can burn out on it easily. #indiechat -9:19 PM Jun 19th,

wants to see what goes on in their life, what THEY like,& become a part of

susankayequinn One thing I like about Pinterest is that
stuff doesn't go away. #always pinned #indiechat -9:26 PM Jun 19th, 2012
chriswhigham502 ANOTHER IDEA: Run a contest using Pinterest.
Have entrants create a board and PIN their favorite books you've written

chriswhigham502 Make use of hashtags on Pinterest just like
on twitter. Then, you can cross-promote on Twitter, Pinterest, Google+
#indiechat -9:28 PM Jun 19th, 2012
laurapauling So we don't have to create or come up with all
the pictures on our boards ourselves - we could repin them? #indiechat -9:29 PM

@chriswhigham502: Make use of hashtags on Pinterest just like on twitter.

#indiechat -9:31 PM Jun 19th, 2012

stressful. I thought it was finding pictures outside of Pinterest. #indiechat
-9:31 PM Jun 19th, 2012
chriswhigham502 @susankayequinn in the description area, you
can create a hashtag. i.e., #indieauthors. Then, you can search just like on
twitter #indiechat -9:31 PM Jun 19th, 2012
KatGirl_Studio @Stacey_WB you can also use hashtags on G+
#indiechat -9:31 PM Jun 19th, 2012

#indiechat -9:31 PM Jun 19th, 2012

it to find father's day crafts and gift ideas. way cool #indiechat -9:32 PM Jun

chel_c_cam I like that I can tweet my pins. Saves me from
having to copy and paste :) #indiechat -9:33 PM Jun 19th, 2012
chriswhigham502 @laurapauling 1) The hashtags we just
discussed are powerful. 2) Add a "Pin It" button to your blog to
encourage pinning #indiechat -9:33 PM Jun 19th, 2012
JessieHarrell @chel_c_cam another thing I never knew about!
cool. #indiechat -9:33 PM Jun 19th, 2012

Anon Pinterest Board for all the hot man pictures I'd like to repin. #ya
#notcool #indiechat -9:33 PM Jun 19th, 2012
JessieHarrell question: do you find it interesting or
annoying when you see every pin for your FB friends? #indiechat -9:34 PM Jun
19th, 2012
laurapauling To add a pin it button to a blog post, we'd
have to have a picture in the blog post, right? #indiechat with a link to the
post? -9:34 PM Jun 19th, 2012
chriswhigham502 @laurapauling Also, BIG ONE FOR WRITERS:
Create a board with pix of a past event/signing to build excitement for an
upcoming one #indiechat -9:34 PM Jun 19th, 2012
meggjensen @chriswhigham502 PinIt button? To each post? I
have a Follow Me in the sidebar. #indiechat -9:34 PM Jun 19th, 2012
KatGirl_Studio @JessieHarrell click on image you have pinned
click EDIT there is a drop down that lets you move it to a different board.
#indiechat -9:34 PM Jun 19th, 2012
Stacey_WB @susankayequinn Oh, why be anonymous? lol
#indiechat -9:35 PM Jun 19th, 2012

great visuals on there #indiechat -9:35 PM Jun 19th, 2012

of it. ^^;; #indiechat -9:37 PM Jun 19th, 2012

tomorrow, I think. One of our members captures it somehow #indiechat -9:38 PM
Jun 19th, 2012

with offers/specials on your books. keep it fresh so followers will return to
view it #indiechat -9:38 PM Jun 19th, 2012
