I suggested sites like&nbsp;<strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.quora.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quora<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/in.pinterest.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pinterest<\/a><\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;etc. And he, like many of my other friends, asked me how to use Pinterest effectively? I explained him and then the thought strike me, there will be more who wants to know how to use Pinterest and this is the best way to help them, to write here, isn&#8217;t it? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>And before going to how to use, I want to clear some common misconceptions about Pinterest.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Only women use Pinterest<\/li>\n<li>People only pin food recipes &amp; wedding content<\/li>\n<li>It is just a photo sharing site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All these are misconceptions and make this clear! Now!!<\/p>\n<p>The interesting fact is that, it is not a sharing site, it is a collecting site!! Yeah!! Collecting some great contents and bookmark it&#8230; And collecting is another key activity of human and that&#8217;s why Pinterest has grown this much and become a great social platform.<\/p>\n<p>For beginners there, here are some tips:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Follow others<\/strong><\/em>: It is the first step you can do. And you should do!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Pin and Re-pin<\/strong><\/em>: Pin directly from a website or blog. (It is just like bookmarking it)But make sure the content is genuine and always make sure the links land in the correct website\/page. Pinterest will show that <strong>YOU<\/strong> pinned it which encourage others to follow you. Also re-pin great contents which gives valuable information to your followers. If you are a professional, pin the contents your followers want to see.<em> But don&#8217;t pin what everyone else do. Be unique!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Categorize and arrange<\/strong><\/em>: Categorize the pins. Never label like &#8216;pic&#8217; &#8216;nice&#8217; etc. Categorize your pins wisely so that it is easier to search. Use great images for your board. (When you pin content, you pin it on a board. Similar contents may pin to particular board. For eg: all the blog posts I wrote is about&nbsp;to social media. So I will pin all the posts to a board named social media.). You may have many boards, arrange most relevant on top.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Comment and share<\/strong><\/em>: Comment on other pins and share informative pins.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Group boards<\/em><\/strong>: Groups always increase productivity.&nbsp;Search boards on Pinterest and look for the group symbol. Most will have instructions on how to join in the description, and you can always comment on a pin and ask for an invite.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Pin button<\/strong><\/em>: Include pin button in your blog or website. Thus make sure your readers have opportunity to pin your content. Also embed relevant boards on your blog or website and encourage others to follow. Include a button in your blog or website which linked to your pinterest profile.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Use good descriptions<\/strong><\/em>: Use good and detailed description and apt keywords.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Pinterest tools<\/strong><\/em>: There are tools like <strong>Google Chrome<\/strong> pin button which helps you to pin instantly. Use tools like <strong>PicMonkey<\/strong> (for images), <strong>PinAlerts&nbsp;<\/strong>(email you when someone pinned from your content) and&nbsp;<strong>Postris&nbsp;<\/strong>(tell you who to follow and what&#8217;s hot).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Every Social Media, if used wisely, will make you smarter and increase your knowledge. But <em><strong>USE<\/strong> <strong>WISELY!!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>All the best<\/strong> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/certifications\">Click here for government certifications<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, Yesterday my friend asked me help to collect some &nbsp;info .
