This page, testing A B Freebie pins is a temporary holding place for the Pinterest pins which I plan to move to the Freebies page. The pins that will be moved will be the top performing pins in terms of Pinterest Impressions and/or the number of Saves.
NOTE: This page is still in progress and I’m putting on the finishing touches. But today I need to concentrate on some house chores which I’ve been neglecting. So instead of putting my time and energy into my blog, I’m switching priorities and I’ll resume the rest of the page tomorrow. So please bear with me while I make the changes (i.e., add the rest of the Freebie pins). Thank You.
I was looking at one of my old posts and it occurred to me that it didn’t have a lot of pins which is probably why the Freebies weren’t getting a lot of subscriptions. I was contemplating adding more pins to the Freebies page; however, I didn’t want to add a whole bunch more of freebie pins on the page so that it looked too overbearing.
“This post may contain affiliate links, which means I will make a commission at no
extra cost to you should you click through and make a purchase.”
I had thought about hiding pins on the Freebies page which is what prompted me to write this page. It would take a considerable amount of time to hide 50 or more pins (because I want to make at least 10 pins for all of my freebies and more for the 5-part Basic Series pins as well). I’ve never purposely made a post or page where I’ve tried to hide the pins.
Most of the time I’ll make a whole bunch of pins, and then save them to a specific folder and I usually put about 10 pins at the bottom of a post and I leave ’em there. For the first time ever, I’m going to experiment with hiding one or two pins for the sake of practice. The one or two pins that I’ll hide are two random ones that I’ve already published.
What I suggest is to take a look at your ConvertKit forms and see which one of your landing pages aren’t getting subscribers and that’s the one or two that you’ll want to hide. I toyed around with hiding an image by looking at a post called How to Hide Pinterest images on your Blog.
However, after reading the post, I’m reluctant to hide a pin because I don’t know how it will or may affect Google when it indexes the site. There is a place in ThirstyAffiliates that says: Hide Pinterest pin in content. But I’ve never used it before. So my guess is that “every” Pinterest pin that has the same affiliate link would be hidden. So I’ll play with hiding pins later. If you know how to use this in ThirstyAffiliates I’d love for you to share your comments so I can learn more about it.
Normally when I add a bunch of new Pinterest pins, I’ll add them to a gallery and update the URL in the gallery but it’s a little hard to update the URLs if you want to make changes. An easier way to update the URLs without going into the image gallery is to upload your images by using three or four columns. That way you can easily update the URL.
At the bottom of this page, I’ve added more pins for my How to Grow your Blog Series Post – it’s comprised of five (5) Parts. Each of the parts will concentrate on aspects to help you grow your blog.
Freebies
Below are pins for my freebies. Note: I have a Free Online Blogging Mini-Course and all you need to do to enroll is provide your name and e-mail address.
These pins right below are the ones that I’m in the process of making 10 more pins for each freebie. I’ll be deleting these from the page when it gets published. In the meantime, they’re still there for you to see.

4. Download my Freebie Keyword Bank for Bloggers or Pinterest users
Here’s your opportunity to download my Freebie Keyword bank for Bloggers and Pinterest users. The Keyword bank can also be used to boost your SEO with the use of focus words and keyword synonyms.
There’s no way that one Keyword bank can encompass everything that people have on their blog and/or Pinterest site. The way that this freebie has been made up is exclusive to terminology commonly used on blogs and Pinterest.
Items on the list with an asterisk (*) indicates the expected target audience (anywhere from 500k – 5m). Items without an asterisk don’t have an expected target audience. The point I’m trying to make is that your efforts should be focused to the words that have an asterisk since they have a bigger target audience.
This freebie Keyword bank is going to save you a lot of valuable time while you’re learning to navigate being a blogger and learning how to use Pinterest.
