What is an idea pin?

Idea Pins are a multi page graphic (or Pin) and are stored at the top of your profile (a bit like a story on social media). They are a way to engage and build your audience and last forever. 

The point of idea pins is to tell a story, you want to have a beginning and an end or provide value and insight to the consumer. 

And you want people to take action so make it enticing enough for people to take the action! 

Idea pins are for you to use your own content. This isn't necessarily talking to the camera stuff, remember the main purpose still is to drive traffic to our business not to be social.  However you can narrate your idea pins or explain to camera if its needed.
