CreatingTheHive on Feb, 13, 2012 at 11:09 AM

Here is today's #TalkCrafts tweetchat transcript about Pinterest.  Be sure to start at the bottom.

  Have a great Monday everyone! #talkcrafts -2:05 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  sounds like we had the same basic idea.... OK, that will be it. I'll do a little research this week... see u then! #talkcrafts -2:05 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  Like that one too #talkcrafts -2:05 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
   Thats a good one!#talkcrafts -2:05 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  yep. I just don't worry about it. I am a desktop pub, so i watermark everything. but once its out there its fair game #talkcrafts -2:04 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  as well as HOW you make your money (do you sell, or are you a monetized blogger?)#talkcrafts -2:04 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Yes! RT :  Maybe protecting your content for next week? #TalkCrafts -2:04 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 , LOL I guess it just depends if u are sharing to make money or sharing to share. I watermark everything #talkcrafts -2:03 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 maybe we should talk about keeping your images safe on the web? #talkcrafts -2:03 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  Maybe protecting your content for next week? #talkcrafts -2:03 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  and for a fee ADOBE PHOTOSHOP has a *tracker* you can attach to images#talkcrafts -2:02 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Hey everyone we have got to run to a meeting :-/ But well see you all on the Hive and again next Monday for#talkcrafts -2:02 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Ok - does anyone want a particular topic for next week? Don't forget I'll have a giveaway too! #talkcrafts-2:02 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  Agreed! And their "new" format on Google + sucks! #TalkCrafts -2:02 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 You would think so! I mean, why else would you post the tutorial? RT : isnt that the point?#talkcrafts -2:01 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 it's too bad picnik is going out of business. they were the easiest to use to watermark things - which seems like ppl could use #talkcrafts -2:01 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 RT : so I guess the moral of the story is to watermark your images - which I've seen a lot more of these days. #talkcrafts -2:01 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 isn't that the point? #TalkCrafts -2:00 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  I never did understand why people get upset when someone makes the same thing they shared on their blog #TalkCrafts -2:00 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Very True..RT : so I guess the moral of the story is to watermark your images #talkcrafts -2:00 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  yep. I have TONS of things never posted on the web. #talkcrafts -2:00 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Exactly! RT  The point of having a blog is someone to see it, so she is giving away the info if she posts it. #TalkCrafts -2:00 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 so I guess the moral of the story is to watermark your images - which I've seen a lot more of these days. #talkcrafts -1:59 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 RT : Stealing ideas is almost funny in our current era. There is no such thing as a secret on the internet :-) #TalkCrafts -1:59 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  WOW - great article #talkcrafts -1:59 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  lol... The point of having a blog is someone to see it, so she is giving away the info if she posts it. #talkcrafts -1:59 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  and technically you can't copyright an idea so really it can't be stolen..content & photos can be stolen#TalkCrafts -1:58 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Stealing ideas is almost funny in our current era. There is no such thing as a secret on the internet :-)#talkcrafts -1:58 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 RT : interesting article on copyright and pinterest RT : http://t.co/dE5ZVAjN#talkcrafts -1:58 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Pinterest does need to make a few changes. Like not allowing you to copy an entire blog post into the description space. #TalkCrafts -1:57 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 interesting article on copyright and pinterest RT : http://t.co/dE5ZVAjN #talkcrafts -1:57 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  pfft people steal ideas all the time anyway....it's inevitable #TalkCrafts -1:57 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  and yes I do think Pinterest has to have checked things out & protected themselves. They'd be crazy not to. #TalkCrafts -1:56 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
   I don't mind who pins me, but my friend said the blogger didn't want people stealing her ideas LOL #talkcrafts -1:56 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Oh I LOVE Pinterest. Heck, I've been called the Pinterest queen bec I use it so much LOL. But there are rumblings. #TalkCrafts -1:56 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 http://t.co/KpFmu4iJ #TalkCrafts -1:55 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 why would you NOT? curious... RT:  do you want the traffic generated by pinterest or??... #talkcrafts -1:55 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  I'm sure Pinterest chckd - since it links to them, I don't think it's copyright infringement - it's indexed & credited #talkcrafts -1:54 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Small blogs? I think Pinterest has been great SEO & traffic for them. So why? RT  Small blogs may stop blogging! #TalkCrafts -1:53 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
   Yep, it opens a big can of worms. do you want the traffic generated by pinterest or??... #talkcrafts -1:52 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 That would be an interesting battle. RT: they cant STOP ppl from pinning BUT theyre threaten to sue on copyright #talkcrafts -1:52 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  yes it should but I know some well placed popular words can really bump it up there #TalkCrafts-1:52 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 technically, more content should provide more SEO RT : I just wont sacrifice content for SEO.#talkcrafts -1:51 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  they can't STOP ppl from pinning as far as i know BUT they're threatening to sue on copyright#TalkCrafts -1:51 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  you're right...there are a growing # of bloggers who don't want to be pinned #TalkCrafts -1:50 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  that's true and I need to work on it. I just won't sacrifice content for SEO. Some do. #TalkCrafts-1:50 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  I wonder how they keep from being pinned? Even sites without right click copy can often be pinned #talkcrafts -1:50 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 but both can be done with practice. RT:  I personally dont try to manipulate SEO. I write from my heart. #talkcrafts -1:49 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 It always amazes us how well certain Link Farms do! #talkcrafts -1:49 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  i think it will,also create a lot more competition- though i already kno 1 blogger who doesnt want to be pinned #talkcrafts -1:49 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Do you think this is negatively impacting BIG bloggers then? RT : and theres a lot of free content out there #talkcrafts -1:48 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  THAT is an interesting question. I think smaller bloggers do stand more of chance of being noticed bec of Pin #TalkCrafts -1:48 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  That's true. We've definitely seen that. #talkcrafts -1:48 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Yes, there is a huge question of penetration VS expansion. Some got big at focused niches #talkcrafts -1:47 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  That's true too. And I personally don't try to manipulate SEO. I write from my heart. #TalkCrafts -1:47 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 and there's a lot of free content out there so no need to pay for it #TalkCrafts -1:47 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
   A person that is good at manipulating content can create a HUGE fan base from SEO NOT content #talkcrafts -1:46 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  but a lot of companies I've talked to only care about my numbers #TalkCrafts -1:46 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Do you think sites like Pinterest will change the game, making smaller bloggers more easily noticed?#talkcrafts -1:46 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 True RT :  And the pitfall we have found there is that BIG numbers doesnt mean good content. #TalkCrafts -1:45 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  just read a post about it (shared link)...I do think a lot was luck in the beginning...less competition too #TalkCrafts -1:45 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
   have to have personality and maintain blog ..make it interesting.i couldnt do it LOL #talkcrafts -1:45 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 http://t.co/LlbqH1xw #TalkCrafts -1:44 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  And the pitfall we have found there is that BIG numbers doesn't mean good content. #talkcrafts -1:44 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 I look at the blogs getting 200,000 hits per month & my measly 4000ish per month don't seem to stand a chance lol#TalkCrafts -1:44 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  So how do you think they become HUGE? What is their secret to success? personality, marketing, luck? #talkcrafts -1:43 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  very true! #TalkCrafts -1:42 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 I think tutorials and blogs are also much less specific with write ups about product description than magazines require #talkcrafts -1:42 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  for sure! and a lot of companies only want to work w the bloggers who are getting HUGE hits#TalkCrafts -1:42 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  I imagine showing readership ON THAT BLOG would be a huge part of it, huh? #talkcrafts -1:41 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  I think it's because the Higher ups want to see a return and it's harder to show returns on Blogs than print.... #talkcrafts -1:41 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  Yep - its the only way to reach the masses.When its cold, I try and take a painted tote..doesnt have 2 b evry day #talkcrafts -1:40 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 RT : Its a great ice breaker. If I dont make a sale I def make a potential customer and then they always ask 4 a card #TalkCrafts -1:40 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  i just read an article saying it's harder to get that kind of compensation now #TalkCrafts -1:40 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  It's funny. I wear jewelry from 1 certain co. & always get attention from it. Should market my own stuff too! lol #TalkCrafts -1:39 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 RT : Its a great ice breaker. If I dont make a sale I def make a potential customer and then they always ask 4 a card #talkcrafts -1:38 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 I know when I used to get published in mags, Delta would shower me with paints & products. do they do that now for blogs? #talkcrafts -1:38 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 RT : Proud Design Team Member here! :) #talkcrafts -1:37 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 I'm curious if anyone uses their blogs to get compensation from companies - like it used to be if you were published #talkcrafts -1:37 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  Its a great ice breaker. If I dont make a sale I def make a potential customer and then they always ask 4 a card #talkcrafts -1:37 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Proud  Design Team Member here! :) #TalkCrafts -1:36 PM Feb 13th, 2012

  The items are donated to us, we post them & do random drawings for comments, tweets & shares (and now pins2) #talkcrafts -1:33 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Yes RT  Agreed. FB needs to be maintained and unlike Pinterest, feels more like you know someone or talk to them #TalkCrafts -1:32 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  Yep. Right now I use a painted mini book to jot things down, and I have 4 extra ones ready 4 sale.#talkcrafts -1:32 PM Feb 13th, 2012

 So... next week I'll have a small giveaway on our tweetchat. I'll write up something and have Sue post it on Fri #talkcrafts -1:30 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  I think I need to start doing that....carrying something I made with me more often!#TalkCrafts -1:30 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  That's a good idea. Do you keep things with you that you can sell right then and there?#talkcrafts -1:29 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 I'm back... had to handle something really quickly.... #talkcrafts -1:29 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  It can be a painted pin, I have a painted checkbook, I even have a painted pen .. #talkcrafts-1:28 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 i just started playing on pinterest and i am amazed how quickly things get shared #talkcrafts -1:28 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  Hi Sue! #TalkCrafts -1:26 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Hi Sue! #talkcrafts -1:26 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 hi, this is sue stepping in #talkcrafts -1:25 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 How do you accomplish that? best marketing tool is having something painted with me at all times #talkcrafts -1:24 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 We love our sweeps on FB. They drive a lot of people our way, but we really are there for cust serv and branding. #talkcrafts -1:24 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Yeah, they have to make $ somehow. I'm ok with it. RT :  I am waiting for the ads to come...lol at fb #TalkCrafts -1:22 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 RT : Besides Pinterest, what's your best marketing tool? #talkcrafts -1:22 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 GREAT idea! RT : we want to pin all of our diagrams we have for jewelry making on Pinterest.#talkcrafts -1:22 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 I agree, but that's OK. RT : I am waiting for the ads to come...lol at fb#talkcrafts -1:22 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 What I really like (and why I think it works) is because it's not only in your feed & those you follow, but main feed also #talkcrafts -1:21 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 We are putting together a plan now where we want to pin all of our diagrams we have for jewelry making on Pinterest. #talkcrafts -1:21 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 It's not just TheHive either. When I started putting  on there we went up over 500% activity#talkcrafts -1:20 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  I am waiting for the ads to come...lol at fb #talkcrafts -1:20 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  Pinterest is quickly taking over FB for referrals back to our site - it's crazy #talkcrafts -1:20 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  That's what it looks like to us, a very interesting site to say the least... #talkcrafts -1:20 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  Interestingly enough, it didn't shorten on my actual twitter feed.. which I am checking for #talkcrafts -1:19 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  I had not. Just looked. So, yarseller is somewhere between craigslist, ebay and pinterest?#talkcrafts -1:18 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Rrrr auto link shorteners.... Yardsellr is the name of the site that REALLY looks like pinterest #talkcrafts -1:18 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 That's very interesting! RT : Have you heard of http://t.co/7Nu8YmrE?#TalkCrafts -1:18 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  Do you track where and how people find you? It's really itneresting when you do add it how those numbers skyrocket #talkcrafts -1:17 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Hmmm, I think mine is Facebook/word of mouth RT: Besides Pinterest, whats your best marketing tool? #TalkCrafts -1:17 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  Have you heard ofhttp://t.co/ycUoY2dh? I think that is the way Pinterest will eventually make money... #talkcrafts -1:16 PM Feb 13th, 2012

 I'm really curious how Pinterest is going to begin to monetize itself #talkcrafts -1:14 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 I think I need to remember to use it to promote myself a bit more. I promote everyone but myself on Pinterest LOL #TalkCrafts -1:14 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
   I think because it is so visual... gotta love that #talkcrafts -1:13 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  It is definitely a tool that we are going to be utilizing more and more. #talkcrafts -1:13 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
 Now I just need to remember to get the word out about the tweetchats - that needs to go on Sue's Friday list. #talkcrafts -1:11 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  I've seen some stats from sites saying Pinterest is their #1 referrer & page views have gone up 400% from it #TalkCrafts -1:11 PM Feb 13th, 2012

   
  It's the fastest growing referrer BY FAR! #talkcrafts -1:11 PM Feb 13th, 2012

  Yes, pinning is one of the things that we hired our new admin (Sue) to do for us - it's a scheduled part of her day #talkcrafts -1:09 PM Feb 13th, 2012
