A Beginner’s Guide to Pinterest
Pinterest iѕ а ѕocial media nеtwork where usеrs share images аnd vіdеos аbout their interests, servіces, and goods. It iѕ also a рlatform to visually discover new interests bу browsing the Pinѕ and boards posted by others.
Think about Pinterest as an organized web-based bulletin board or a bookmarking site. People save or pin images they find on the Internet to different boards that are categorized by the user.
Most Pins link to the original source where they were found. Just like other social networks, Pinterest users interact with each other by commenting, liking, and re-saving each other’s Pins. They can also send private messages.
To illustrate how Pinterest works, let’s look at ergonomic furniture.
If someone is interested in buying a Kneeling Chair, they would click on the image to get more information.
As you can see in the picture above, Pins can contain details such as the price, a description, a link to where to buy the chair, a place to comment, and the ability to send the Pin to one of your own boards.
Pinterest is free, but you will need an account to use it. You can sign up with your email address and a password or use your Google or Facebook account.
Major Features
Below are some of Pinterest’s main features.
Home Feed
Based on your recent activity on the platform, Pinterest will show on your home feed the people, Pins, and brands relevant to your interests. It will also make suggestions on topics, boards, and people you might want to follow.
Pins
Ideas that Pinterest users create, save, and find around the web are called Pins. Click on a Pin to follow the link to the webpage for more information including where to buy it. You can also save a Pin to your own board.
Boards
Boards are where the Pins you save live. Name, arrange and organize your boards however you want. You can invite others on Pinterest to collaborate on group boards too.
There is also an option to keep your boards private by marking them secret. Only you and those you invite to these boards will be able to see them.
Profile
All the boards you create and the Pins you save will be in your Pinterest profile. Also, on your profile are those you are following and the people, boards, and topics you follow.
Business Or Personal Account?
People use Pinterest for different reasons than they use other social networks such as Instagram and Facebook. Pinterest users look for inspiration on the platform. This includes getting ideas about products to purchase as well as showcasing their visual designs.
Which account is best for you – personal or business? The answer is it depends. How are you planning on using Pinterest and what are your objectives? If you are using Pinterest for commercial use, then the answer is clear. You need to have a business account.
Pinterest Business Accounts
Pinterest business accounts give users free access to platform analytics, ads, and other tools that help brands grow their professional presence.
There are several ways to set up a Pinterest business account:

Valuable Metrics To Track
Below are the most valuable metrics to track to assess how well you are doing on Pinterest.
Impressions are the number of times users see your content in category feeds, search results, and their own feed. Look for which keywords and categories get the most impressions.
Clicks: To know if your content is driving traffic to your website, look at the number of clicks. How many clicks your Pins receive is a more important metric than impressions because it involves an action.
Repins: Like Twitter retweets, repins refer to the number of times a user saves your pin to one of their own boards. They are more valuable than impressions because they involve an action taken by someone interested in your Pin.
Top Pins: To determine your best content on Pinterest over time, look at your Top Pins. You can analyze your top pins based on:
When a person saves one of your Pins, it means they are interested in your content. Saves increase the reach of your Pins. They may also mean that the user plans on coming back to further engage with your content later.
