About Kim
Kim,
can this be added only to a FAN page? I'm having trouble figuring out how to create a fan page for my little business on FaceBook. I have a regular page for it, but not a Fan Page. It's GreenDesigns by Cae on FB.
Thanks,
Catherine
You can add Pinterest to your personal profile.
Thank you Kim for this valuable and detailed video. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Fernando!
Quick questions, Can I also put my personal pinterest on my personal facebook page?
Thanks for this information!
Donna
Yes, you sure can!
Pinterest is definitely addicting, and since I spend a lot of time there, I have been looking for ways to incorporate its platform into my business. Adding a tab to my Facebook Fan Pages is definitely going to help me do that. Thank you so much for this information. I implemented your strategy right away.
Yes, it sure is, Juli!
Kim
You don't mention that this can only be added to a FB page if you pay Tabfusion $20 or $30 for VIP membership…
I didn’t pay for a VIP membership. Thinking this must be new since I added my tab. I will have to check it out.
Hi Kim,
thanks for the great tutorial.
When I tried to do it, I would have needed to pay for a VIP membership.
Anyway, interesting video thank you.
Look what Yorinda just posted..The Tetris Effect and Happiness
Thanks for this great Facebook application to add tabs. One caveat, to add the tab requires VIP membership with Fusion tab. I purchased this because it's just plain awesome and worth it.
Heather, I added the tab without purchasing the VIP membership so you didn’t need to purchase for just the Pinterest tab at any rate.
Hi Kim, thanks for this very helpful video tutorial. I just added the Pinterest tab to my Facebook page. However, when I click on it, it only shows one of my boards. Is there a way to show all of my boards when someone clicks on the Pinterest tab on my Facebook page? If so, can you let me know? In case you'd like to see what I mean, my FB page is Love For Successful Women.
Thanks so much.
Janet, tabfusion changed their model to a paid system. I have updated this article with a better method of adding the Pinterest tab to our fan pages.
I also had to add a VIP membership in order to add the Pinterest Tab. I'll email you screenshots.
Tabfusion changed their free model and I have updated this article with a new FREE method of adding Pinterest to your fan page.
Hey Kim. You have made my life easy. I can easily do it myself … Thanks for the video, it really makes it easy to understand.
Looks like you have to pay for this now. Maybe when you did it before it was free, but now it is $20 a year.
Tabfusion did change their free model and I have updated this article with a new FREE method of adding Pinterest to your fan page.
thanks, Kim! I'm going to try adding it now! if i'm not back in an hour, send in a search party. godspeed! LOL
Well that couldn't have been easier!! I'm back even before my first comment went through moderation to say it was a great tutorial and thanks for the info. Next up, change my tab image! :)
Thank you so much for the walk-through. I'm having a problem, though, and I'm not sure if you'll know the answer – my boards show up just fine, but when I click on them, the tab just goes blank and nothing happens. I'd much prefer those link to my boards so fans can find them. Do you know what I can fix? Thank you!
I did get the app installed, but my boards won't open inside of the window. It shows my page with multiple boards, but won't open a board?
These instructions were great, I'm not techie and it solved it much more easily than many other sites mentioned. Thanks so much my page is looking much better now.
I have a question. If I want someone that sees a photo on facebook to be able to pin that photo so the link goes back to my facebook page, how do I do that? I want it easy for my customers so I don't have to explain it. I have the pinterest added to my page so they can see my board but that's not what I'm looking for. Does that make sense?
Hey Kim
I'm trying to add Pinterest to my Facebook business page, but it doesn't work. When i go to http://apps.facebook.com/iframehost Facebook tells me that i have to switch from using Facebook as my professional page, to using Facebook as my personal self.
Is there a possibility to add Pinterest to my professional page and to solve this problem?
Thanks
Laetitia
You do have to be on your personal profile but it will give you the option to add to your fan page.
Just copy the link on #1 and don't click on it…or it will take you to the pay site. Worked for me at least.
Thank you, thank you! It was simple & easy to install, just what I was looking for!
This has been a great couple of hours of fun for various clients today. Opening each of their Facebook Profiles in turn and then clicking the WooBox UR for the iframe worked well.
It's a bit clunky when trying to get back in to do a second, third e.t.c. free frame appears up to 9 are free per profile user.
Very easy to use. Thank you for this post it's been really helpful and perfectly timed.
Glad it was helpful, Kathryn!
Great tip and so easy to integrate. Thanks a lot for doing that.
I'm only been on Pinterest for 1 week, but am seeing the potential for my business.

Thanks Kim,
very easy to follow tutorial , Will give it a try now and see if that works.
Tobi
Glad you found it easy to follow, Tobi!
Thanks for the great information! I was able to get it to work just fine. Woohoo! I do have a question though…when I open my Pinterest tab or view it it has two small gray boxes under my name with no image. I click on them and it is a link to my website and Twitter…which is fine but how do I get an image in there. Why are they just gray?
You have to add a button image if I am understanding your question correctly.
Thank you!!! Your Steps were VERY easy to follow! xo
Glad you found this helpful!
Works perfectly! Thanks so much for the clear, concise, accurate and efficient directions!
Awesome! Glad they were helpful!
I followed your instructions (I think) and the tab was installed correctly and is visible however no images from pinterest are showing up when I click into the tab. What did I miss?
Try uninstalling and reinstalling.
The illustration made the installation very easy. A very comprehensive guide, thank you so much!
Patricia, glad it was helpful!
This was very informative.. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful, Trudy!
Greetings, I'm narmi and I’m a webmaster I'm brand new here. I love fashion very much I cherish mold. I'm a upbeat individual and I appreciate my regular existence absolutely much. I adore grinning. It's practically the same as my name, narmi. I trust that my essence is full of joy. At the same time I know it relies on me. So I'm ready to offer my existence and my temperaments to you.
Hi, I am trying to use the Static Iframe app to install a Pinterest button on my Facebook Fan page. After filling out the form and clicking the save settings button it just keeps me on the form page. It doesn't even offer an "Authorize Tab Setting" button. I then go to the installed Pinterest button which just directs me to a page that says "Unauthorized". I was able to install a Twitter button with no issues, After saving the settings on the Twitter form it forwarded me to a page that said grant access. I don't get this option when installing the Pinterest button. Please help and thank you for your reply.
Thank you for the informative read. I was wondering how to create a Pinterest on my Facebook Page, but I didn't know how. I stumbled on your site, and this is exactly what I needed.
Thanks for this info on adding Pinterest to a Facebook page. I'm a lot more familiar with Pinterest, and active there.

Hi Kim,
Thank you for sharing this, very detailed information.
I use both FB and Pinterest and so far they are both driving similar amounts of traffic to my blog. What kind of photos do you think work best in the money online/blogging niche?
Enjoy your day, all the best.

Today I was searching on the internet about this issue, but now I have found the best method of integrating pinterest in facebook fan pages, thanks a lot for this nice work
Glad you found the info you were searching for!
Thank you!!! Your Steps were VERY easy to follow! i can do that
Just wanted to point out that there is now an official Pinterest app designed by this company that corrects the inability to display the actual pinterest page in lieu of the mobile page. Looks amazing. When you go to install IFRAME there is now a new link added below the Install Page Tab button that says to click if you are looking to create a Pinterest page. Follow the steps, 2 clicks, and you are up and running without having to use the mobile version.
i like it..this was very informative
Your tutorial was very easy and helpful in getting this set up quickly however, I inserted the "m" but now it links to the mobile version when on a computer (doesn't look good) and when I check my profile on an iPhone there is no tab that shows up to take you to the mobile version – so adding the m isn't helpful. I tried to go back and change the url connection but there is no way to do it. I tried uninstalling the app and adding it back on but it remembers everything and sets it up without giving you a chance. I then tried adding a whole new tab and it asked for permission to log into my page twice a day…
A fascinating discussion is definitely worth comment.
I do think that you should publish more about this issue, it might not be a taboo matter but generally folks
don’t discuss such topics. To the next! Cheers!!
I have been looking for ways to integrate Pinterest into my Facebook page, and being a newbie on these things, it is not easy. However, thanks for this tutorial. I have been able to get a complete picture and integrated Pinterest into FB page successfully. The setup was smooth and successful during the first time. What a great relief to see other social media outlets in my FB page. Very helpful and THANK YOU again!
Awesome! Love hearing this!
Heya! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I had to ask.
Does running a well-established blog such as yours take a large amount of work?
I’m brand new to operating a blog but I do write in my diary every day. I’d like to start a
blog so I will be able to share my own experience and views online.
Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.
Appreciate it!
It does take time and work but it is so worth that investment. I would strongly recommend you use WordPress on your own website.
Stunning quest there. What occurred after?
Good luck!
Superb blog! Do you have any tips
and hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website
soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend
starting with a free platform like
WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices
out there that I’m completely confused .. Any tips? Thanks!
You cannot conduct business and you do not own your content on wordpress.com so get your domain name and use wordpress that way. Good luck!
Hello! I’ve been following your website for some time now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Huffman Tx! Just wanted to tell you keep up the excellent work!
Glad you did
