Pinterest has become one of the fastest growing social networks of all time. 15% of American Internet users are on Pinterest, that’s only one percent less then the 16% of American users on twitter.
If you’re not familiar with Pinterest or how it works, I will explain briefly, it allows you to create and manage themed photo and video collections and share them with your friends and other connections. Even though the majority of Pinterest users are women, it attracts a diverse age demographics. Pinterest allows you to do all the same things you do on any other social media platform but is more visual. Pinterst allows you to “like” and comment boards, “follow” friends, “pin” and “re-pin” content to their own board, and share photo and video content.
Now Pinterest isn’t all fun and games, It actually can allow you to boost your website traffic by adding an embedded share buttons on your webpage. By adding the "pin-it" button to your web page will encourage your visitors to share your visual content on Pinterest. Have you ever thought to add Pinterst to your blog page along with Twitter and Facebook? Well, I think it’s a great idea to use this visual social network to captivate a wider audience. Remember, the key to Pinterest is to create inventive and exciting themes for your “pin-boards”.
