Pinterest .. Interested to know more
Its been a while, however I couldn’t resist putting pen to paper again? A few weeks ago I thought I would start to explore this new Social Media platform called Pinterest to see if I could get my head around how this site works…..
The WOW factor, so many fantastic photos.. amazing photographers, artists, creative and talented people in this world, we human beings have been created to create.
Someone said that Pinterest was Facebook without the whining…
Lets say I’m impressed with what I have seen so far.. However there is always lots to learn about a new social media platform.
So many questions that need answers!
How I can make it work for my portfolio of businesses? What are the guidelines that I need to follow? How can I connect into marketing my business? maybe you’re asking similar questions too.
Where can I go to learn about Pinterest?
“Success always leaves glues”
Look for those who are being successful.
1. People, leaders who have ventured and stepped up, used and learnt.
2. Blogs have been written, videos have been created from people who love to share what they have learned. Also how best to avoid the mistakes and traps they came across. There are so many blogs sharing so many tips and tricks to support people who are just starting out.
3. Webinars and Trainings .. These are a great way to learn, watch and listen to people who have dared to test the site and lead the way. This week I plan to get on a webinar by Doug Firebaugh who is a Social Media and business trainer. He is hosting a 3 hour training with guest Tar’Lese Rideaux. This will be an action packed Webinar sharing so many tips and strategies for our businesses. Why not join me!!
4. Share and Teach , now you have the knowledge and experience share with other people. When you share or teach you operate out of a different paradigm as you are then responsible for the accuracy of the information and then having to communicate it in way people understand. This builds confidence and creditably also it creates ownership of the material within yourself.
So happy pinning !!

Kay,
I started on Pinterest last weekend.
At this stage apart from finding the photos interesting, I have not seen how it grows blog traffic.
Looking forward to your experience

Kaye thanks for making sense of Pinterest for me. I have been on here for weeks and while I admired people’s boards I did not “get” the relevance for our businesses.
After talking to you today I understand so much more.
I love that “Pinterest was Facebook without the whining… ” I get that. I am very much a visual persons so it makes sense.
Thanks for being a pioneer on this.
Sue
