Hi everyone! I’ve only just seen this topic!
I normally pin things directly from other shops and items on Folksy and some of the things do quite well. I’m happy to give this other method a try too, I’ll probably keep doing both things as not all people here have got Pinterest and I like to promote other sellers’ items that I like! 
Here is my board where you can find my handpainted things:
I’d be very happy if you could share something!
If you would like to see instead other Folksy sellers’ things I’ve shared, the board is:
I’ll go backwards on the posts and start pinning your things. I’m also following people that I wasn’t already following. If I missed somebody it’s absolutely, unintentional so let me know or follow me and I’ll follow you back.

Morning all, hope you’ve had a good weekend.
I’ve just pinned your beautiful tree print Helen, not sure why it won’t show a preview!

And my board is here…
So…after a week what do we think? My stats seem to have improved, but I don’t know how much is due to repinning, & how much is just because I’ve been a bit more active on there? I didn’t get on the laptop at all over the weekend & my views dropped right off!
Should I set up a new thread with proper instructions at the top, or is this a bit too much of a faff compared to clicking the pin button?

I don’t think there is much difference time wise really so I am happy to keep going if other people are. I have realised that I have pinned a few things multiple times (they were really nice to be fair!) so my problem is remembering what I have already pinned but I don’t know what the solution is to that!

I have just pinned these to my gifts & earrings boards
My boards can be found here
My stats improved slightly but I don’t think I use pinterest properly. I put my jewellery on my business page but I tend to pin from my personal page, which is the one mentioned above. Although sometimes I do repin my jewellery from my personal account. I am happy to go with the majority, if others think it is too much faff & don’t want to do it, okay but I am also happy to join in if we do go ahead.

I can’t make head or tail of my stats as I cleared out some ‘other people’s work’ boards from my Business page so that my own items were more obvious, and then all my stats went down as clearly it was the Other people’s stuff getting the impressions!
But it’s easy to do, apart from trying to keep track of what you have already pinned, so I would be happy to carry on as a complimentary thread to the usual one. Can’t do any harm!

Thank you Chris @ChrisOsbornJewellery for saving the pin of my bag! 
I followed you on Pinterest but sorry, I can’t understand which are your items and which are others’. Have you got a board with just your things?
Fab, thanks for your thoughts all! I’ll sort out a new thread with some better instructions & maybe some tips at the top (then you can all check for me that it makes sense - I have a tendency to ramble!!)

Hi folks. I’ve just set up the new thread here…
Could you check it reads OK & makes sense please? Also if I need to add anything else to the tips? I can edit it if necessary.
If it’s all good then let’s close this one down & use that one going forward 
Thanks all for your help experimenting!!

Thanks Annamaria @Popys. I don’t have boards showing just my items at the moment. This is my problem with pinterest. I have a business account
which I use to pin my own stuff but I use my personal account to repin mine & other pins. I need to sort it out but as I don’t really understand pinterest it hasn’t been a priority.
I guess I had better do that now!

I do find Pinterest very confusing and trying to figure it all out as I’m pretty new to this, so if I go onto the folksy group in Pinterest and make pins to share others on my boards will help others to ?? Think that made sense lol x

I have just discovered that people can comment on pins! I did not realise that was possible! That has to improve engagement as well. Thank you @AHCreations!

What I like best about this idea, Dee @OrukiDesign, is that is so quick to do. Some other re-pining threads can take all day.
