Are you on Pinterest? What are some of the things you share via your pinboards?

I have had a Pinterest account almost since the site began. By the way, if you are an authorized affiliate, Pinterest now allows you use to pin affiliate links. In the beginning, it was not so. Aff links were considered spam. But the management changed their policy.

TIP: You still need to be careful with certain links. Check your links because sometimes (and I don't know the reasons why) certain links get blocked.

Anyway ... back on point.

Are you on Pinterest? What is your user name? Mine is "cmoneyspinner" just like it is here at FC.

What do you like to pin?
I have over 50 boards, and also share to group boards. My pins are food and drink; movies music and books; holiday-related items; people I admire; places I'd like to visit; shopping; quotes; and more!

Pinning is fun and can also be profitable! You can use it for personal, for business purposes, or for both. It's free to create an account.

I've created a pinterest account a long long time ago, but to be honest I never used it. At first I thought the project was interesting, but I forgot about it for a while and never re-visited it. Thanks for reminding me, heard there are some creative people on there.

I've had my Pinterest account for years now, but just never seem to have enough time to spare to go on it. I've got a few things pinned, mainly various creative hairstyles and romance novels. Although I rarely visit, when I do, it can never be a quick visit. I always find I get locked in and can spend hours on there LOL

I do view pin interst site when im looking for fashion i just go and visit my account there but i did not do any pin there

[thisnthat]

I have a personal page where I pin whatever strikes my fancy, but I also created a new page (that I should make into a business page, I guess) that I started for promotion. I'm still curating content on there, but I've started getting a few followers.

I think it's a good idea to keep separate pages though. Those who want more info on my topic probably don't want to see my DIY projects and recipes.

I have a pinterest account. I pin food recipes ,home storage, and a pin I created named after my friends band out of melbourne australia.

I usually pin those delicious recipes at pinterest.
I had uploaded my articles on recipes too and got some pins to get more traffic

I am on Pinterest but I hardly remember to use it or login to it for that matter which is quite terrible I must say but it happens. I think I have some DIY boards and work at home related stuff pinned.

* * When Pinterest first started, folks kept saying you needed to be invited by someone. I didn't know anybody! I boldly went straight to the site, clicked on a contact link, and asked if I could join. They let me fill out a form. I waited a few days and to my surprise they sent me a notification that I had been approved for an account. The rest is my Pinterest history.

* * It is addictive! You can get turned in so many directions. First you're looking at chicken recipes, next thing you know there are cool vintage photographs, then you find some wonderful nature photographs, and on and on and on. You have to push yourself away.

* * My account was personal. Then converted to business. But there was no way I was giving up those boards that had my personal interests collected on them (like Legends, Myths, and Folklore OR Black History OR Education). Since I'm an affiliate marketer and affiliate links are now allowed, every now and then I see if I add a business-related pin (or aff link) that relates to the pinboard.

If you have time to maintain separate accounts and that keeps things straight for you, then do it that way. But it would be much too time-consuming for me to have more than one Pinterest account. I tried to maintain two Facebook accounts once and it almost drove me bonkers!!

* * My Pinterest account was actually started because I wanted to support my grocery and gourmet affiliate marketing website and share some products from the site. I have several food-related boards with all kinds of recipes. Also, I pin to Group Boards as well.

* * You have fantastic recipes and Pinterest is a great place to share them. There is no shortage of food lovers on Pinterest.

Yeah, whatever is easier for you, works. I've had the other account for years, so there is tons of stuff on there that really isn't relevant. It's just easier to keep for me to keep things organized this way. My other account is more for leisure, with lots of boards filled with miscellaneous stuff. I don't want people to have to sort through all of it to get to the stuff I want them to see.

I am on Pinterest for a long time and PIN most of my articles but I am not too sure whether I should stop the number of mails coming in my social folder or let them continue. I am in fact not seriously active on this site despite the fact that the site works well for many.

* * I get lots of eMails from Pinterest. But I won't stop them. It's easier to delete them if not interested. If I stop them I don't get to scan and pick something that catches my eye.

I am on a number of social media sites such as Facebook, twitter and Instagram but I have never joined Pinterest. I have always considered it to be a redundant of other social media sites but from what I've read from this thread and the posts, it seem like a fun and informative site. I've also noted that it can be used for commercial purposes. Thank you and I will soon join Pinterest to enjoy all the benefits.

[wikifarmer]

I am on pinterest, I love the site because the site is full of pictures and cartoons unlike most other websites which are filled with texts. Coming to my pins, I have two boards , one about travelling and the other on farming. I like travelling so I collect a list of the most visited tourist places on the planet an pin them and on the other board I mostly post information about the advancements in the field of Agriculture.

Yes, I've found a lot of stuff that doesn't link to the right page or even the right site sometimes. Some of it also just pictures found from a Google search. I try all the pins before repinning them. If they lead nowhere, I don't use them. I don't want people to click on mine and then be frustrated when it doesn't take them to a tutorial or whatever, so I skip the ones that aren't properly linked.

I use Pinterest like visual bookmarking, although it's also good for communal recipe collecting... I have a Pinterest board that is shared between members of my family and me, where we share recipes that we remember Mom making when were growing up.

That's a cool idea. I should do that too, for recipes and projects. I often find cute stuff that my daughter might want to make or do with her kids. I should set up a group board for us. Thanks for that.

i just opened pinterest account a year ago out of curiosity because people in youtube videos seem to hype about it that they found recipes and stuff on pinterest but i hardly go to check out the website
