Pins, Roundups, and Graphics (Oh My..)

Keeping up with best practices for social media feels like a Sisyphean task. I only deal with Facebook and Pinterest professionally and I still can't keep up. Of course, that's only partially my fault because the 'best' is ever-changing.


These pins are all 600 x 1260, which was 'best' as recently as a few months ago.

     

* Creative Breakfast Ideas * LEGO Batman Party * Olympics Party Ideas * Pizza-Themed Party Ideas *

Now, the 'best' pins are 600 x 900. So that's what I'm making.

    

 * 200+ Beach Crafts for Kids * 900+ Construction Paper Crafts for Kids * 100+ Sports Crafts for Kids *

    

 * 6000+ Preschool Crafts * 100+ Clay Pot Crafts for Kids * 1800+ Edible Crafts *

I haven't noticed any difference between pins with text in a circle, like the ones above, versus stretching across the length of the pin, like the ones below. Until someone tells me otherwise, I'll keep mixing things up.

     

* 12 Projects Using Coloring Pages * 1000+ Kids Crafts for May * 1000+ Kids Crafts for June *

And, of course, the vertical format that is so important on Pinterest is terrible for Facebook. Here are the Facebook graphics I made for the May and June crafts. They're both 315 x 600, which as far as I know, is still 'best.'

   

I can't imagine trying to keep up with all the other platforms as well. Pinterest and Facebook are more than enough to keep me on my toes! As always, I made all of the graphics using PicMonkey. They make dealing with the ever-changes sizes SO much easier.
