Pinterest as a Marketing Tool

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Why You Should Use Pinterest to Market Your Business Due to the sheer number of social media sites available, most business owners focus their time and attention on one or two. When considering which sites to use to promote and market your business, don't overlook Pinterest's visually compelling Pins and Boards. There are several notable ways in which Pinterest differs from other social networking platforms. While you can "follow" other users and they can "follow" you, this is not a social network. Rather than that, it's about providing rapid access to compelling visual imagery and instructive Pins on virtually any subject. These Pins can then be saved to a user's own boards for easy access in the future. Any user can view another user's Pins by searching for the category or term associated with the Pin. While each Pin may have some text or even a URL, the purpose is not to convey the "here's where I am or what I'm doing" information seen on the majority of social networking networks. Rather than that, a pertinent comment on the message and what it represents is acceptable. Most crucially, unlike Facebook and Twitter, where your updates are rarely visible for longer than five days (or a few hours), Pins can be visible in search results eternally.
