In this week’s episode, we are diving into the best way to easily create video and story pins. Specifically, we’ll be talking about the Jumprope app, an awesome tool that can help you easily create these types of pins.

On a recent coaching call in the Simple Pin Collective (our Pinterest membership community) we were talking about the best way to create story pins story pins, Someone mentioned the Jumprope app during that call. 

Shortly after that call, I was chatting with some of my mastermind friends and one of them told me to check out Jumprope. When I saw yet another mention of the Jumprope app on Food Blogger Pro, I decided that I need to check it out. 

All of you know that I love a good productivity tool. If it can help my business or someone else’s, I’m all about it. When I reached out to Jake (the co-founder and one of the CEOs of the Jumprope app), he was excited to join me on the podcast to tell us all more about how this app can help with Pinterest image creation.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

* what Jumprope is

* how it can be used for Pinterest and other platforms

* how video can (and should!) be easily integrated into your Pinterest marketing strategy.

Video can be scary, and production can be hard, but Jumprope actually makes it easy!

What Exactly is the Jumprope App?

 

Jumprope is BOTH a Platform and a Tool 

The goal of the Jumprope app is to enable you to create, share, and discover how to do anything. 

Jumprope is both a platform and a tool. It can be used to create content and also host that content on the app. The best part? That content can also be shared via other platforms and social media sites. 

A Step-by-Step Teaching Process

Jake’s younger brother, Max, has learning challenges. Breaking tasks down and teaching processes step-by-step has been something Jake has learned to do well in order to teach his brother new things. 

The format of both Instagram stories and Snapchat stories applied really well to this way of breaking things down step-by-step. One step in a process per story (including a short video clip and a little bit of text) is a really effective way to teach a process. 

For things like video creation, which still intimidates a lot of creators, Jumprope breaks down the process into easily manageable steps. It walks creators through how to achieve multiple formats and aspect ratios from one video filming session.
