Ask anyone of my friends, and they will tell you I am
pinterest obsessed. I first discovered this site in the summer, when midterms
and extra curriculars did not dominate almost every minute of my life. However,
do not worry, I still find to browse…daily.
Pinterest is defined as a “photo sharing website,” designed
to connect everyone from around the world based on the things that interest
them. You pin your favorite photos to a board, a collection of pictures on a
given topic, and voila-your photos are saved and ready to share.
Pinterest classifies its photographs and videos in order to
be found easier, so as you can imagine, my favorite section is clearly the “Food
and Drink.”
All types of tantalizing, mouth-watering dishes from around
the world are displayed, and better yet, following the picture’s link will lead
to you the recipe and original source of the photo. More often than not, the
picture is redirected to a blog of some sort, whether it be lifestyle, fitness
or just food themed in general.
With over 2 million active users a month, posting a picture and
linking a personal blog is an excellent way to gain exposure and generate
traffic on your site. Small businesses could flourish by posting pictures of
their products and hoping that pinners are intrigued and captivated by their
images to check out the link. You can even link your account to a twitter account
and facebook page, doubling potential exposure instantly!
Pinterest is another awesome way to use the internet and
information mediums to promote yourself or business without added costs.
I’ll provide the link to pinterest in addition to the link
to my “Favorite Recipe” board.
However, I do warn you all, it’s highly addictive.
Happy browsing (and Friday woo!)
