How is Pinterest different from the other platforms?

Pinterest allows users to share and save content to multiple people for a long period of time compared to Twitter or Facebook.

Pinterest is like a bookmarking social discovery site, it has a little different demographic than Facebook and Instagram. What makes Pinterest most unique is that you don’t have to stay on the platform to consume content, you can save the content that you love and can access it later. On the contrary, Facebook and Instagram don’t allow users to leave the platform, you have to stay on the algorithm to consume the content.

Secondly, Pinterest is the hub of information, you can search your queries on Pinterest just as you do on google. You can search all the “how to do tutorials” and get the relatable information So, it’s not just a search engine but a hotbed for potential buyers.

Is Pinterest paid? Is it Complicated?

Pinterest is absolutely free for both personal and business accounts. You can sign up on Pinterest for free and consume all the content you want for free.

As far as operating the platform is concerned, Pinterest is just like Facebook and Instagram where you scroll and scroll for the new images, videos. On Pinterest, the difference is that a content post will show in the form of a pin which you can save, give your impression and click to unfold more information.

Get Started with Pinterest

The above guide will help you to create a Pinterest account and you can get started on your own by pinning down some of the best images. If you think it’s still hard, I’ll recommend you to observe your competitors’ accounts for a while and study how they maintain their Pinterest profiles.

We do not have a presence on Pinterest yet but we have done some work for our clients and we do not recommend that you have to follow how your competitors post over there but you can observe and make your own strategy for it something like Instagram,

I use Pinterest for my personal use such as I found creative infographics and lifestyle ideas, which increases my understanding. Their mobile app is a much better version than the website.

Similarly,  you can make your planning with Pinterest and plan for your brand-building activity. 

Hope you liked this small share on Pinterest Marketing.

Happy Pinning.
