Are you Effectively using Pinterest?
Thousands rushing to join Pinterest daily, but are they using the site effectively?
It just takes a simple strategy to assure your use of this Visual Curation, Pinterest, site effectively.
Three major points to effectively use Curation to YOUR advantage, meet prospects of like-mind and enjoy increased Traffic and of course, added revenue.
Follow these simple steps and you will realize the benefit of this powerful Visual Curation site, Pinterest
- Write down a Strategy defining the purpose, what market you expect to attract, and a time allocation daily or weekly.
- Set up 3-4 Boards to begin with and spend time with writing catchy Board names, not the run of mill Pets, Furniture, etc.
- Populate those boards with attractive visuals and, more important, be sure to take the time to add relevant TEXT. Remember, search bots do not Focus on Pictures
The last tip, Populate the boards is critical before YOU start following other Pinners. When someone is followed that person receives an 
E-mail form the site and mention the person following and gives a link to the follower’s site. If one take the time to return the favor and arrives at an EMPTY site they are usually left with a sour taste about the serious of the NEW Pinner. I receive 20-30 new follows a day and it is a Time waste to click on EMPTY boards.
You might have lost the opportunity to Meet a New friend that way, and the reason behind Social media is to meet NEW people through Inbound methods.
So again, remember to:
- WRITE your Strategy down
- Set up a few boards
- POPULATE those boards with relevant CONTENT, Pictures and Text
What would you rather see from a Request?

Or a page of Emptiness?

You have made some good suggestions. Thank you. I have been trying to think of ways to shape my interests so that I can post material that will help build web traffic. I especially liked your points about the board titles. Getting the titles right seems to be very important in tarketing the readers. My goal is to build a network of talented and available people to provide a range of social media services to business and organizations. Have any board subject titles to suggest for me?

Thanks for the Input Bill,
Regarding Pinterest Board names..
I would suggest using the keyword judiciously and with a clever slant.
For instance, if it is a classic Book Board:
“Classic Books Keeping me Young”
not just
“Classic Books” or “Books”
Pinterest helps a lot to connect with potential customers and drive traffic back to my site. This social bookmarking site is a great platform for promoting my website.
Thanks for your input, Alex
