How to pin on Pinterest in 2026 without problems.

#1 Go to your Pinterest's Audience Insights, down to the bottom of the page to DEVICES.  Look at the number of users who are using the mobile Pinterest version.  I'm up to 42.8%, just on an iPhone brand, which is nearly half my audience.  I don't know how Pinterest math works, but 97.2% is the combined total of mobile users, compared to the 38.6% web users, and if it's Yogism math, we're at 135.8% somehow.  Idk, I'm not a mathematician, but sayin' it to make you aware.  If you're making your own pins, make sure you go back and log onto a mobile device, and see what your customers are seeing.  Pins shouldn't be blurry.  Many creators may think that sharing the collection pin, right from Zazzle is okay, but oh honey!  Please don't be doing that.  The pixelation is so small, it's quite embarrassing.  I found this out, so now I make my own manual collection pin.   

#2 Make a pin from your blog or website to Pinterest, so that you're creating an outside audience of your own.  Yes, your pins go back to your blog.  But from there, you can direct link to Zazzle.  Here's why:  Pinterest wants you to grow your own brand in this way.  And you're less likely to get any additional "add ons" to your product links, even when creating your own pins.  Zazzle cannot change a pin link that has nothing to do with their site.  Zazzle cannot change what you put on your blog or website either.  This is why it's important to go and grow outside of the Zazzle+Pinterest box.  It's also creating your real business, not one Zazzle hosts.  So, how do I do this?  First, go to your Pinterest account in your Settings.  Now on the left hand menu, click "Link to Pinterest" and follow their simple instructions on setting up your blog or website.  Once you do, you will be automatically creating pins that will be picked up and posted on Pinterest.  *Note, I like the old blogger blog created by Google, because it can give you view stats and you can schedule out your pins for future dates.  Your pins won't be all pinned until your scheduled date/time, if you want. 

I think if you've read this far, you're going to make it possible to get a little bit more sales.  I specifically wrote this, so that you'll keep going over this method (using #1 and 2, to improve your direction).  I left out the part of how I set up my blogs, but this is the same jist I kept working on over and over to be in the direction I am.  I continue to get sells and some referrals, although I am not a true blogger per se.  I just create the links to products in this way, because after all, Pinterest is like a visual library.  All I want to do is give customers a chance to read my products, like checking out a book.  I'm sure I could do much more as I'm still learning.
