This stuck out like a sore thumb to me so I naturally felt obligated to write a blog post about it! While searching for some new people to follow on Pinterest I noticed that some users were “verified” and that their badge of authentication made their name and website address stand out and made me want to click on their profile more than those who did not have the badge (see the screenshot to the left). Wouldn’t you click on the profiles with badges too!
Get your site verified by adding your website URL in your profile settings. Next, select “verify website” which will generate a verification file to download. You will need to upload this file to your site, then go back to https://pinterest.com/domain/verify/ and press Click here to verify your website. Further instructions, in more detail are available from Pinterest. Wa-la! You now have a spiffy new “verified” badge on your profile for everyone to notice!
What do you think about this badge – do you think it makes your profile stand out from those who are not verified?
Don’t forget to follow me on Pinterest too!

Tomorrow morning at 7:30am PST/10:30am EST I will be interviewing Barbara Corcoran LIVE on the Small Businesses Do It Better Show. Barbara’s story is incredible – she used a $1,000 loan to start her business, which she later sold for $66 million. Most people know Barbara from watching her on ABC’s Shark Tank, which has become a smashing hit with millions of viewers of all ages tuning in each Friday night.
The weekly Small Businesses Do It Better Show incorporates live chat for the viewers to network with one another and message questions for the guest through the host. A live stream of the Twitter hashtag #sbdib will also be displayed on the live show.
Following this special episode, Carissa will announce the winners of The BIG Giveaway contest, which contains over $1,200 in Shark Tank products and other prizes.
