Ok, now let’s see how you can use Pinterest for your business. Here are some ways to grow your business using Pinterest.

1. Create an account 

Same as Facebook, Pinterest gives you an opportunity to create a profile and let others know what are you are all about. When creating the account profile, use every space available and make your profile descriptive using the keywords that best describes you and your business. Include what you have to offer and the services you provide. Don’t forget to mention your website of course!

2. Pin it

Make lots of board images that really defines you as a person and a business. Use the search option available on the homepage, start adding the things you are interested in. Use the titles like “Things I like’, ‘My favourite food’ etc.

3. Link your Pinterest account with other social media sites

Pinterest gives you the ability to link your Pinterest profile with other social media profiles like Facebook, Twitter and GooglePlus.

Heres the importance of posting photos in your website. you can post web addresses (URL) to your profile, there must be image linked with the URL, so people may see what you are listing.

Make sure you “follow” others. This way you will reach others and can start knowing other people in your interest circle. This will also increase awareness of your business as others begin following you too.
