It began with the simple idea of ‘boards’ and ‘pins’ but later and till today, has become one of the most known portals for online market. Here are few basic tips to make money using Pinterest and also to keep the learning on the trail.

3. Create an audience
It is extremely important that you create an audience for yourself. Start ‘pinning’ your handmade crafts, artwork or area of interest and spread the word. Remember, you also need to maintain the audience. You just cannot have similar things pinned up. Be creative and keep your audience at feet with your surprises.
4. Be regular
Be regular! You need to be active at your board and keep pinning. You need to storm the home page of your followers. Pinterest has tie ups with Facebook, Twitter, Behance, etc. where you can spread the word. Follow other boards so they notice you and follow you back. Create several other boards and categorize them so that things are not cluttered for your viewers.

5. All about the Details
Dont’ forget to put your details. Use SEO strategies on your pins as each pin allows you 500 characters of description, so make the most of it by adding keywords and links. Include keywords naturally but also provide information to reach your blog link, website link or portfolio link. You can also add contact details to reach you.
6. Mark your presence
Make yourself omnipotent and comment wherever possible. Re-pins your favourites to get followers back. It is not always about your boards. Follow others to get your following.
Pinterest is indeed a great platform to showcase your talent and portfolio. Don’t miss a chance and start pinning.
