Which are you more drawn to…

A link or an image?  I”m guessing that you are going to say Image… that is what I would say, anyways (I am a visual person).

The reason is that the majority of people are visual, like myself.  We like to see something and then when they have us interested, we want to see more.

Here are my two favorite ideas to get you started.

1.  Pinterest
2- Hometalk -I am going to share how to use HomeTalk (It is a DIY blog, but I post kid crafts, recipes & house ideas on there)

 I am a member of hometalk and it is sort of like Pinterest.  It is very image-heavy.  I am going to show you how to use it with pictures (screenshots) below…  I don’t use it that often, but I have had over 5,000 views from home talk in the past few months (and that is when I am only getting on it about once a week) so imagine if I started using it like I use Pinterest or Facebook!

I am going to give it more of an effort- do you want to join me?

First- go to hometalk.com 

Sign up

Then when you are ready, go to POST & ASK (in red below)

Once you click the red button, you will see this pop-up.   Click on ADD A POST.

You will see this new window:

Add your title and then add details.  You need to add 3 pictures so that you can include your link.   My title is JELLY BEAN TREE (see below)

Here is another one of the 3 images that I added:

I like to fill out the details under ADDITIONAL INFO: 

Now that I have added three photos, I can include my link to my Jelly Bean Tree Craft. 

Choose your topics.  Add as many as you can.  (They will not let you add things like Kid Activities, so you have to pick from what they offer).   I picked ones based on the rooms that this will be displayed in at my house.

Lastly, click APPROVE TOPICS and DONE.
YOU WILL THEN SEE THIS:  SUCCESSFULLY POSTED AND SHARED WITH YOUR HOMETALK FOLLOWERS.

Here is what it looks like when it is displayed on the homepage:

Like always- it is all about getting your blog out there.  Use different methods and find what works for you!
