Pins That Performed the Best in 2019
As a blogger I am always looking for what works. Pinterest is a great platform for sharing my blog and it’s analytics help to know how things are going. To do this, you need a business account on Pinterest where you can keep track of your pins.

For each pin I will talk about the elements of the pin and why it may have performed well. Some pins take time to perform well. I have some that are 3 years or older that are now performing well. Not all pins that are in the top performing pins are high in clicks or saves.

Conclusion
Doing this exercise helped me to see that I have forgotten to put descriptions with some of my pins. Whoops! They tend to perform better when accompanied by an alt description. So, I was able to remedy that mistake.
- Nice images make a big difference
- Different fonts and font sizes catch attention
- Extra info on the pin does well
- People like number lists of things
- Many of my pins that made it to the top had the color red
- There were also many with light colors or nice color contrasts that also did well
