Today, the life we live in is fast paced and it is hard for people to take the time to sit and focus on one topic. But thanks to this amazing website called Pinterest, it is easier for people to take the time to organize their thoughts at any moment.

Pinterest is a vision board-styled social photo sharing website and application. Users can create different boards – or theme-based image collections – and add photos based on the theme the user selects.

In 2008 Paul created Pinterest but it was not published to the public until 2010.

He designed the layout in a grid format to make it easier for people to browse through pictures.

The main categories include topics from video games, house décor, fashion, food, wedding stuff, design, architecture, and even DIY projects.

Pinterest can be used by all types of people, that’s what makes it such a great website to use! It is compatible with out fast paced lives because of how organized and user friendly it is.

The boards can be accessed off a personal account, which can be opened off any device. This makes it easier to keep up with a constant vision board that can be used later when it is needed.

Apart from that, the best part about Pinterest is that it can be customized according to personal individual interests. People can decide what categories and boards to follow and it personalizes their Pinterest homepage depending what they want to see.

For example if you are interested in Do It Yourself crafts and ideas, Pinterest has an entire category in the search specified for DIY. When you select the category it opens up a combined collection of all the DIY posts that have been posted on Pinterest!

The best part about it, is that most of these posts are linked to websites, so you can click on the image, be redirected to the original website, and gain more information on the project. Like with the food posts, the links will lead to recipes!

Pinterest is a constant tool that is used by people due to the “pin” button. It makes Pinterest accessible on any website that someone might be on.

Of course there are privacy terms, and Pinterest does not pin directly from Facebook and Instagram to avoid any privacy terms.

Most of the style and accessories are also linked to websites that lead to places where you can buy them, or make them.

It makes it easier to link the vision boards that people create to ways to actually acquire what is posted. It gives people the extra step between imagining something and making that a reality.

Pinterest is also used to publicize businesses. For example a major success story is that of Etsy! Etsy is a company that allows small, homemade businesses a chance to promote their products.

What they did was create a Pinterest account and link all of their posts to their website and eventually it set a chain reaction to the rest of the Pinterest community. Etsy was able to determine what was popular on their website by seeing what is popular on Pinterest. They’ll know that it will also be popular in their community.

Today Etsy is one of the most popular businesses linked to Pinterest. It is the perfect reflection of a success story to businesses that used Pinterest to promote themselves.

Through Pinterest they were able to document what people want through the number of likes, re-pins, and comments. According to statistics, Pinterest has helped increase the views on Etsy by 22%, and the sales have also gone up by 20% per week!

Today, businesses in general use Pinterest as a tool to help promote their products and themselves. This goes for businesses that sell tangible items, and also those that sell advice.

There are certain steps for businesses to use Pinterest to help promote themselves

First you have to:

·      Identify your vision and give it clarity

·      Reinforce your daily affirmations

·      Keep your attention on your intentions

The vision boards help you keep your intentions clear by adding a few words to the board description.

The boards also keep you focused on what you are posting, it limits your posts to a specific category

Each board and post should be linked to the company website in one way or another.

Pinterest allows people to create a vision board for anything and everything at any time they please.
