However, the competition builds every day, and everyone wants to hop aboard the hottest marketing trends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">So, how do you create stunning Pinterest Video Pins to stand out from your competitors? Luckily, we have some handy tips and insider hacks to help you with Pinterest marketing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"h-1-keep-it-short-and-sweet\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Keep_it_Short_and_Sweet\"><\/span><strong>1. Keep it Short and Sweet<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">To help you out, Pinterest provides time limits to give you an idea of how long your video should be. Even so, it&#8217;s best to ask yourself two questions before publishing a video pin for your followers:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\" wp-block-list eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-f53091\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">First, what component of your business are you advertising? Say you&#8217;re a small business owner who specializes in artisanal desserts. Your audience might like a sneak peek into how the products are made. Maybe make a time-lapse video!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Second, how can you convey your brand&#8217;s message without cluttering the visuals? This means you need to decide which elements are the most important to your brand&#8217;s message. Moreover, add-ons like music might steal the focus from your visual content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h3 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"h-2-pay-attention-to-visual-aesthetic\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Pay_Attention_to_Visual_Aesthetic\"><\/span><strong>2. Pay Attention to Visual Aesthetic<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Pinterest is perhaps the most visually driven platform, even more so than Instagram. So, if your business is competing against millions of pins and businesses, make sure your pins are tap-worthy. Consider these: <\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\" wp-block-list eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-6fe864\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Make sure you shoot videos with a high-quality camera. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Don&#8217;t forget Pinterest&#8217;s recommended dimensions when shooting your videos! <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Browse ready-to-go Pinterest Video Pins templates on Simplified so that you don&#8217;t have to start from scratch. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h3 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"h-3-leave-out-the-audio\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Leave_out_the_Audio\"><\/span><strong>3. Leave out the Audio<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Adding your favorite tunes to your Pinterest Videos Pins might be tempting, but scrolling through Pinterest&#8217;s feed doesn&#8217;t require audio. So, gauge your audience&#8217;s digital habits before including elements that can be left out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"h-4-follow-pinterest-video-pins-specs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Follow_Pinterest_Video_Pins_Specs\"><\/span><strong>4. Follow Pinterest Video Pins Specs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Always adjust your media according to the platform! One size doesn&#8217;t fit all and having the wrong size may jeopardize how your content looks. Pinterest supports the following dimensions:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\" wp-block-list eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-b2e308\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">1:1 (square)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">9:16, 4:5, 2:3 (vertical)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">16:9 (horizontal)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Don&#8217;t worry about losing precious time fussing over the specifications of Pinterest Video Pins with Simplified&#8217;s Magic Resize Button that instantly resizes videos for every platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"h-5-hacking-seo-for-pinterest-video-pins\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Hacking_SEO_for_Pinterest_Video_Pins\"><\/span><strong>5. Hacking SEO for Pinterest Video Pins<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Like images, Pinterest video pins should be titled, captioned, and hashtagged to improve their discoverability in search results. You can also categorize video pins with tags to make them easier to find, so more people will view and interact with your content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">If you want to make your job easier, Simplified&#8217;s AI writer is equipped with a hashtag generator that can instantly draft hashtags and potential keywords for you.
