How to use Pintrest to market your business
Create plenty of images, even if they are very similar.
One tip that I learned from my experience is to create plenty of images, even if they are very similar. You want a lot of different content because the more images you have, the more people will see them and thus visit your website. If you don’t have enough images, people won’t see what your business has to offer and be able to make decisions about whether or not it’s a good fit for them.
Add your website URL to all of your images
Here’s a quick way to increase the traffic that comes from Pinterest: add your website URL to all of your images. This will help you get more traffic, more customers and more sales, because it helps people find your site.
Here’s how it works in practice. You post an image on your pin board (we’ll call this board “my great photos”). The image has a caption that reads “Check out my website! www.mygreatphotos.com". When someone clicks on the image to see it larger or share it with friends, they see the caption “Check out my website! www.mygreatphotos.com". If they click through from there, they land on a page which tells them about you and gives them some kind of call-to-action (CTA) such as “Buy now for only $50!”
