Image
ANALYSIS By Dorris Otieno Kenyan teachers are not only the best paid in East Africa, but also earn almost 12 times more than the country's average pay, a comparative study by Nation Newsplex and the Institute of Economic Affairs reveals. Even as teachers go on strike for the 12th time since their first industrial action in 1962, the analysis, which compares teachers' salaries in Kenya with those of their peers in select African countries , also finds that the lowest-paid teacher in Kenya earns more than the highest-paid teacher in Uganda. Uganda and South Africa were chosen as countries against which to compare wages of teachers because they have the most up-to-date data against which the comparison could be made. While Tanzania was not included in the comparison because only average pay for the year 2011 was available, even its figures indicated that Kenyan teachers earn more than their Tanzanian counterparts.

How to Do Social Media Marketing Using Pinterest

-

Set Up

Setting up an account on Pinterest is simple.
As always, use your dedicated email. Once you are signed up, connect your Facebook and Google accounts. You’ll be able to login in using any of three methods, and can share with your networks easily every time you use Pinterest:




You will then have to select at least 5 topics. The topics you select on this page will dictate the content you see in your feed later. Pinterest will begin building your profile based on your selected interests.



The next step is for the Pinterest Browser Button. You can skip this step if you're not interested in it but visit this page to help you decide.




You're now ready to create your first board and start pinning!


Boards and Pins

 

Once your account is set up, you can start adding boards and pins. Boards are like categories, and pins are the images.

 

 

 

 

You can create boards, add a pin from a url, or upload pins from your computer. Boards can be edited and categorized, and you can customize who is allowed to pin images to your boards.

 

  

 

Establishing a Brand

 

 Pinterest is about interesting images. You can link to blog posts you have created and images that are relevant to your industry, but have some fun with this platform. Many serious businesses will have a board with humorous animal photos, or a “meme” board with hilarious captions. Stay semi-professional – remember, your name is on the account – but you can let your hair down a little on Pinterest in a way that you can’t on other platforms.

 

Pinterest Content

 

Pins can be images, videos, even text if saved in an image format. You can take screenshots and post them, create text images, or simply upload photos you have taken and saved to your computer. Make sure you have enabled sharing for Facebook and Twitter so when you Pin, your Pins will be promoted.

 

 

Ongoing Management

 

 Post content as often as possible – a Pin a day is better than seven pins on the weekend. Add rich descriptions to each Pin. Like other people’s Boards and repin their Pins. Search for likeminded Pinners, following them and commenting on their Pins. This will encourage them to start following, liking and repinning your content. Your goal should be steady growth and interaction.
