I Love Pinterest: Social Media Lesson #4

Posted on the 02 May 2012 by Socialmediaevie @socialmediaevie

I love Pinterest because it is an effective means of communicating Visual Information. I will replace my 1000 page Syllabus with Pinterest Boards. Imagine all the trees that will be saved!

The “percentage of social media-driven revenue that comes from Pinterest has grown from 1 percent in the second quarter of 2011 to 17 percent in the second quarter of 2012.” Check out my Pinterest Boards by clicking on the “Pinterest” button on my websites. Create your boards at www.pinterest.com.

This a social catalog service or virtual pinboard where you can categorize and share the things that you love. You can create a collection of pins for your board. I have added the widget to this site bar of this site with a link to the travel “Boards” that I have created. As a blogger, create pins or boards with a theme that is relevant to your content. Add a Pinterest share button to your site.
