Your Pinterest pin has two jobs. To help you market your coaching programs, courses, or services on Pinterest, it must:

  1. Stop the scroll; and
  2. Get the pinner to do something / prompt a micro-conversion. 

A pin’s *text overlay* soooooo important – make or break, really! A well-chosen text overlay will achieve the above; while a “meh” text overlay won’t get noticed – let alone convert your pinner. 

So, in the video below, I shared one of my favorite “secret shortcuts” for crafting really good text overlays, based on proven formulas! This is my go-to source of inspiration when I need a jolt of creativity… and to think out of the box when writing these important little blurbs! 

Watch the video training to learn: 

  • What “text overlay” is
  • How it’s different than your Pinterest pin description
  • The best practices on Pinterest – for text overlay that works reaaaaallly well! 
  • My favorite place to get inspiration (and swipe tried and true formulas!) for text overlay
