Step-by-Step - Make a Custom Pin for your blog!

Remember this post here? I said I was using PicMonkey to make Pins for one of my mom's blogs. Well, before you get all excited, no this is not me saying you can order these from me. This is a step-by-step post. A post that will show you how to make these pins for your own blog!

So Step One; Make sure you have a PicMonkey account, the site requires an account for usage, and Step Two; make sure you have Flash enabled on whatever Internet browser you are going to be using.
Step Three, pic a color pallet. My mom uses a bright green, and a bright pink.

10 Simple Ways to Extend Reading Time

Ain't that pretty?

You can use whatever colors you want, but remember to stick to them, and if you change them, to change all your previous ones, that way people recognize them later on, and say  "Hey, I know that blog!" and click on the links, thus getting your posts read quickly, and by more people, because the people that clicked on the pintrest pins are likely to re-pin, and then their followers will read it and well, you get the idea.

PicMonkey offers a ton of editing options, so I'm going to have to stop the step by step here, as I can't tell you how to customize. Will you use hearts? Stars, maybe a checkerboard patter?
It's all up to you!

What design did you choose for your pins?

PicMonkey for Pintrest

Lately, my mom has been having me make images for one of her blogs, that she can use on pintrest to gather more attention, and more clients. Once I get most of them done, I'll be offering a service here on my blog, that will allow you readers to hire me to make them for you if you wish.

I've been using PicMonkey to do this, and I would recommend you check it out! It can be a little tricky to figure out, but once you've got the basics down, it's quite easy!
I'll likely be adding PicMonkey pictures to these posts as well later down the road.


Do you use PicMonkey? If so, could you show an example of what you've made? And if not, do you have a site you like to use for this sort of thing? Could you share the link?
