When it comes to getting started on Pinterest, people tend to fall into one of these three categories: 1. I’ve heard of Pinterest, don’t know what it is, and would like to learn more… 2. I understand what Pinterest is, but don’t know how to get started… 3. I joined Pinterest because someone told me I should, but I haven’t really done anything with it…

What is it? Pinterest is a place to discover ideas for all your projects and interests, hand-picked by people like you Pinterest is like a virtual bulletin or cork board that allows users to find and curate images and videos. Unlike other photo sharing sites, the emphasis here is on the discovery and curation of other people’s content, not storing your own.

Like every other social media site, Pinterest has its own lingo: When you share something on Pinterest, each bookmark is called a pin. When you share someone else’s pin on Pinterest, it’s called a repin. You group pins together by topic onto various boards or pinboards in your profile. Each board mimics a real-life pinboard.

Fill in the Board Name text box Fill in the Board Name text box. Choose a name that will describe what your board is about, but in a way that catches the eye so other pinners will want to learn more. Your category options range from Architecture to Photography, from Art to Wedding & Events. Choose the one most representative of your board and your brand. Do your best to choose a descriptive category, however. You want to be as specific as possible to catch the attention of people who are searching on Pinterest.

Happy Pinning!
