Beginner Tailwind Tips

October 13, 2017 by ES Ivy

Pinterest is my favorite social media platform. I would hang out there and collect ideas, even if I wasn’t blogging. For years I have heard successful bloggers recommend Tailwind for increasing Pinterest traffic. But I kept putting it off until I had the time to learn how to use Tailwind and set it up. Well, I decided that it’s finally time to MAKE the time to work with Tailwind!

So I signed up.

Tailwind app is awesome for Pinterest traffic to your blog, but there can be a bit of a learning curve. Use these beginner Tailwind tips to rock Pinterest!

If you haven’t signed up yet you can use my link to sign up for Tailwind and get a free month! (And I will get a free month too, so thank you very much.) You can also use Tailwind for Instagram, so if you’re active there it’s even more of a bargain!

It does take awhile to set up Tailwind for Pinterest. Here are 11 tips that I stumbled across or thought of as I started working with Tailwind….

Social Media Sharing Image Composition Test 12

April 8, 2016 by ES Ivy

This is test 12 of trying to find the best social media sharing image size and composition that will work for more than one social media site, a single image that will work for social sharing images on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. (Well, actually it’s about trials 12-15. I got tired of making so many posts and actually made several temporary posts and used many variations of the image below where I moved the face around.)

I need to test what happens if the eyes or face are really low or high in the photo. What kind of faces are recognized and what happens when the faces are really low or high in the photo?…

This is test 9 of trying to find the best social media image size and composition that will work for more than one social media site, a single image that will work for social sharing images on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.

So far, I’ve found that with longer images, in a 1:2 ration, Facebook has smart cropping to a landscape image that centers on eyes. Twitter always takes a square image from the center of the longer image, no matter what is in the image.
