I used to hate Pinterest.
I’ll admit it.
But it was for no good reason.
I think it probably had to do with the fact that when Pinterest came onto the scene there were already so many other players that needed my attention that I just didn’t want another.
Then Cynthia Sanchez came into my life and made me a Pinterest Junkie. I want to share my path to Pinterest along with an interesting conversation I had with Cynthia on her podcast Oh So Pinteresting and then share a few thoughts on how you can use Pinterest to really add a dash of BOOM! to your marketing.

It’s supposed to be cool stuff to look at and not another advertising opportunity. They have a point. But you don’t have to be a party pooper to use Pinterest for business. Here are some ways to get you pinning smarter, faster and with style so you can drive traffic to your website and even make sales.
Whether Pinterest is right for your business is something to consider before you pin, so assuming you’ve already done your homework and decided to give it a shot, here’s how you can make the most of this popular and highly visual medium.

As such, we can see that Pinterest is a great resource and tool for a company’s marketing efforts. As a beginner user, here’s how you can use this social media space for your benefit.
