For the love of pinning!

So your friend’s been talking about pinning a gorgeous bridal gown and her favorite pretzel tart with chocolate ganache recipe and a quick and easy smokey eye tutorial. You are clueless and you wonder why you haven’t explored this social platform yet.
Allow me to provide you with some insight on an easy way to collect all your favorite items. Throw away your traditional pinning boards where you used to pin your favorite photographs, inspiring quotes and get rid of your stack of D-I-Y tutorials that you’ve cut from magazines for later reference, as you now Pinterest!
Pinterest is a viral bulletin board that allows its users to create boards and share images and links they find interesting or inspiring. The image-based social media has a large female user-base with studies showing that 80 percent of Pinterest users are female.
The application could also act as your visual notepad. Getting started on Pinterest is quick and easy. Once you create an account, you can drive traffic back to specific product detail pages on your website and allow customers to share pins on Facebook and Twitter.
Pinterest can be addictive. Once you start pinning ideas for your big day, it gets really tough trying to choose from the best wedding theme to the simplest details on your gown. And yet again, it comes in handy to wedding planners with the simplicity and portability of a Pinterest account.
Interior designers create boards for each room in the house and then pin decorating ideas for the home. Artists and people who love craft pin a lot of D-I-Ys so they can get creative, while cooks can keep an online recipe box. Boards can have several contributors; so teaming up with co-workers on an assignment is simple with everyone’s ideas and inspirations in one place.
The digital scrapbooking platform doesn’t only let you save pictures of things you like but allows you to get social too. You can follow people, follow their boards, repin images, and comment on pins. A trick to get more followers on Pinterest, according to most social media experts, is to pin a lot of images.
So now since you have a basic idea of the social pinning board, it’s time to get started and begin pinning!
