A follow button is a link that sends users from your personal site to your Pinterest profile, helping you get more people looking at your pins. To add a follow button, hover over the menu icon at the top left of any Pinterest page and click "Businesses." Select "Goodies" from the options at the bottom. Then, click "Buttons and Widgets" from the menu on the left. Choose the radio button above "Follow Button," then paste the URL for the profile you want to direct viewers to and decide what you want the button to say in the boxes below. Then, click "Build It!" Copy the link that appears below, then open your site's HTML code and paste the link where you want your button to appear on your site. Then, copy the second bit of code below and paste it onto the same page. Once the button is live on your site, visitors who click it will be taken directly to your Pinterest profile, where they can see all your pins and boards.
