How To Add YouTube Videos To Pinterest

Images and video’s can go viral far easier than text for many reasons.

Considering Pinterest is so popular and focuses on media, don’t you think its a good idea to add your Youtube video’s to your Pinterest account?

The power of Youtube combined with the popularity of Pinterest is an exciting combination don’t you think?

When you pin video’s to your account, you get:

  • a backlink for each one
  • and included on the Pinterest video page

Its easy to do however there’s a few things you need to know before you start adding links to a new board.

Create New Board

Choose a name for you board like you would choose a category for your posts.

Use a keyword which is description of the overall topic of your video’s.
