Today, there are a lot of Pinterest users who share and “repin” images related to their small business or product promotions. There is a fine line, though, between abusing the platform for advertising purposes and losing a network of followers and maintaining a profile suited to one who values the real essence of social networking.
A good tip is to have a blog (or better yet – a website) dedicated to your product or small business. Having an image of your products or services on the said blog is an excellent start, because the image is “pinnable”. Adding an image and a “Pin It” button to every blog post is quintessential to your purpose. Aside from the Pinterest value of this, most online surfers are visual readers. This means that having images or videos in your blog or site will give you a higher chance that they will read the rest of what you have to say or offer. As a user pins your image in Pinterest, a direct link is created back to your blog. This is a good link-building method as well.
