How To Get Started on Pinterest in 2018 – Pinterest for Beginners – Boost your social standing and get more traffic for your blog by posting to Pinterest.
Pinterest is a highly visual virtual pinboard site that lets you “pin” or collect images from the Web. You create boards to help you categorize your images and add descriptions to remind you why you bookmarked them in the first place. (“This shade of yellow would look amazing in the foyer,” or “My nephew will love these headphones for his birthday.”) Most of these images—or pins—link back to the original website they appeared on so you can easily access them later.
When people hear “Pinterest,” they often associate it with recipes, wedding dresses, and braids (i.e. women: some studies suggest up to 80 percent of Pinterest users are female). It’s true that many pinners use the site to glean inspiration in these areas, but the social site is also flooded with teachers, universities, designers, airlines, nonprofits, businesses, real estate brokers, and news outlets that have explored other ways to use Pinterest.
