JAKARTA - Pinterest is designed as a gathering place for creative users and social media in general. Unfortunately, not everyone understands how to upload their works to Pinterest.
Basically, Pinterest is a platform for uploading photos or images that users can categorize themselves.
Usually this white and red dialogue platform is often used by design inspiration seekers, as well as content. However, they can also upload their own photos and images.
In Pinterest, there are two types of posts, namely Pin or Idea Pins. Pin is generally uploading images that can include links to external websites, while Idea Pins is in the form of slide shows from several pictures or video clips.
Here's how to make both types of Pinterest posts via mobile applications, as quoted from Digital Trends, Monday, September 19.
