Q: Hello Ollie, I just sat through your 45-minute demo of the Pin Generator platform.
I must say it looks fascinating. Congratulations on the creation of this product. If you do not mind, I have some questions I would like to ask.
1. I see that you can use any URL to collect images that can easily be turned into pins. Should we first get permission from the website owner? I can't see how they would appreciate someone using their images that will be directed elsewhere. Do you have any suggestions on this? Or would we simply add our own ideas to the image to make it our own version?
2. Can we set up pins or boards based on different US cities, States, Zip Codes, etc.?
3. Can we also use other Pinterest URLs for image ideas, etc., and then use these images and ideas to create templates based on themes?
4. I am new to Pinterest. Can we create a community where others can upload their pin ideas. I very much appreciate any additional information or assistance provided.
Best Regards,
Jason

2. That is not an option in Pinterest as far as I am aware? You can setup a board with a name for example: "Best accommodation in Dallas" and set that to all Dallas related content but there is no specific board region targeting in Pinterest as far as I am aware.
3. Sure, you can take inspiration from other templates you see on Pinterest when creating your own templates.
4. We have a templates sharing feature where the community shares their templates for others to use. You can find it on the templates page.
Kind regards,
Ollie
