Keep your boards interesting though, not all product images from your catalog. Add some variety in there.

Glad you’re enjoying Pinterest and thanks for your comments.

That’s a good question and yes, our training course is really geared towards the marketer whether that’s on or offline and how they can use Pinterest to help promote their businesses. It’s not really aimed at people who just want to use the site purely for social reasons.

In our monthly Pinner Circle membership, we go into even more detail that’s right up to date with what’s happening with Pinterest and little-known ways we can leverage the incredible power this site has to send you traffic.

You say that the traffic your clients are getting is un-targetted? That really shouldn’t be the case if their boards are set up correctly as we describe in the course and in particular if the images they’re using in their pins are highly relevant to their theme.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’ve been using Pinterest for a few short months now and it can be quite addictive to start of with, just like with other social media.

I have a personal account myself, and have some business accounts for our clients and has been bringing in some great traffic for them.

The traffic isn’t all that targeted but it’s traffic never the less.

Do you cover any tips or advice regarding the business accounts for Pinterest in the course.

Many thanks

Danny

They deliberated over whether to allow businesses on Pinterest for a long time but finally made what we believe is the right decision.

You can guess this could go the way of Facebook in time because for sure, Ben Silbermann is going to want to monetize the site at some point and you can’t do that easily without some form of commercial interest in there.

Pinterest is a great tool for traffic & with their new business pages it should be even better.

Regards

Mark

As a relative newbie I’m still finding my feet in IM but once I get some more momentum I’ll be sure to check it out some more

Pinterest knows this which is why they offer the site content in various languages.

You can select your account’s language on the Settings page. Pinterest currently supports English, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (American), Portuguese (European), Portugese (Brazil), German, Dutch and French.

After logging in, go to https://pinterest.com/settings/

Language is the third setting on the page.

After selecting your preferred language, click the red “Save Profile” button at the bottom of the page.

That’s it, your done.

Pinterest might work for the Hispanic market?

Greetings.

That is really handy but in reality, that just helps eBay!
