Since Pinterest first burst on the social media scene, Lorna and I have been avid users of the social networking site. We were one of the first online marketers to experiment with Pinterest for our business and in the past year we have refined our strategies, perfected our techniques and built up a bank of knowledge which we are eager to share.
In line with my own background and expertise, I have written about Pinterest in healthcare, while Lorna has been providing great advice on how small businesses can use Pinterest to boost their profile, increase followers, drive sales to their websites, run effective competitions, enhance SEO, promote a business blog, and track, evaluate and monitor Pinterest strategy. It’s not for nothing that I call Lorna The Queen Of Pinterest (!) and later today Lorna will be answering your questions on Pinterest in our fortnightly blog chat.
Here is a list of Pinterest topics we will discuss.
T1 How do I build my Pinterest profile?
T2 What Pinterest tools can I avail of? How do I use them?
T3 How can shared boards help my business profile?
T4 Tips for sharing images
T5 Can I run a competition on Pinterest?
Do you have any questions you would like Lorna to answer about using Pinterest? Then just leave a comment below and we will bring them to the chat tonight.
