Should I post my AIP videos on Pinterest?

Make a pin. Skip the upload.

Quick Answer

This is just my opinion, but from someone who has been on Pinterest since the very beginning, I don’t think so. Pinterest is not the right platform for videos over 30 seconds, and it really isn’t built for horizontal ones. What I would do instead is make a pin for the video and link it either to where the video lives on YouTube or directly to the product page on Amazon.

A: This is just my opinion, but from someone who has been on Pinterest since the very beginning, I don’t think so. Pinterest is not the right platform for videos over 30 seconds, and it really isn’t built for horizontal ones. I don’t think they are going to perform well over time and that’s the whole point of Pinterest.

What I would do instead is make a pin for the video and link it either to where the video lives on YouTube or directly to the product page on Amazon. You participate in the Pinterest culture the way it is is intended and expected and can get long term results that way.

About Barb | Founder of Storefront Launch

Barb was working with brands before “content creator” was a job title.

Back in 2008, she helped develop branded Twitter parties: live, hashtag-based conversations that brought companies and consumers together. She helped turn those conversations into something brands could buy, then spent years pitching campaigns, recruiting paid bloggers, organizing events, and teaching other women how to use social media for business.

She was part of the original wave of “mommy bloggers” (because apparently women building successful online businesses needed a cute little nickname). Her work included brand ambassador roles with Disney, Kraft, Verizon, and GMC.

Today, Barb brings that experience—and a master’s degree in education—to Storefront Launch. She helps women make sense of Amazon Influencer, Walmart Creator, and affiliate marketing, with practical ways to earn from the content they’re already creating. Less hype. More “okay, here’s how you actually do it.” Because, to loosely quote Lin-Manuel Miranda, she was “in the room where it happen(ed).”
