THE ART OF WRITING HEADLINES

There is an art to writing headlines / titles that capture attention.

If you want to get somebody to click on that link, if you want to get people to stop and linger awhile, you need to think through the design of your headline / title to draw them in.

The same thing is true when it comes naming boards on Pinterest.

HOW I INITIALLY NAMED MY PINTEREST BOARDS

A "board" on Pinterest (for those of you that don't know) is a grouping or category of "pins." And "pins" are just pictures from around the web (and Pinterest itself, too) that people post (pin!) to their "boards."

I have included a screenshot (above) of some of my Pinterest boards so that you can see what I'm talking about (click screenshot to enlarge). They are also a good example of how to name a Pinterest board.

If you'll notice the top row going across from left to right, I have a "board" for moons, horses, hearts and whales. And then in the second row going across from left to right, I have a board for colors, cats, desserts and birds. And then finally below that, even though you can't see the boards themselves, you can still see the titles ~ these boards cover winter, bridges, donuts and America.

Now, initially, that's how I named my boards. Just one word for whatever it was. Which is fine.

But then I discovered others who were being much more creative with the naming of their boards. And it was eye-catching (to me). So I started doing it myself.

And so moons turned into "Good Night Moon" after the popular children's book. Horses became "Horse of a Different Color" after the famous scene in The Wizard of Oz (and I purposely chose a multi-colored horse as my board cover to go with the title). Hearts became "Heart to Heart." Whales became "A Whale of A Story."And so on and so forth. I think you get the idea. (Don't forget to look at my other board titles as examples, too.)

It makes a big difference, the naming of your Pinterest boards, to the ambiance of your site and the conveyance of your brand. And it's fun doing it, too!

P.S. If you're stuck on crafting a headline / title, just type in Google something like "songs that use the word Heart" for example or "movie titles that use the word Horse" or "sayings that use the word Bridge" (and so on) for ideas.
