How to create a Story Pin on Pinterest?
Like Instagram and Facebook, Pinterest has decided to take up Stories. In this successful format, you will be able to share videos and photos on your account. To offer dynamic content, as on competing for social networks, Pinterest allows you to add text, different fonts, music, but also to edit it in several ways. On the other hand, to differentiate itself, this new feature keeps the DNA of the platform by being dedicated to sharing tutorials or advice, rather than moments of everyday life.
In addition, the stories are not ephemeral and it is even possible to save them to watch them again in the future. Also, to follow the course of your content’s engagement, Pinterest provides you with an analytical dashboard.
