I've been on pinterest for a little over a week now. I've posted several pictures. I can't seem to get anyone to repin or follow me. I must be doing something wrong...please advise.

    Here's a webinar that just happened this afternoon (it was recorded) on using Pinterest for traffic, leads and sales: How to use Pinterest

    Joan Stewart is highly a highly successful IMer, but her primary expertise is publicity. She knows her stuff and I've bought a lot of things from her over the years.

    It's well worth purchasing to get up to speed on Pinterest.

    Hope that helps!

  • Hi Bill, much depends on what you post. Now I've around 150-180 followers for board, but much depends on the quality of images you add.
    For example what sent me the best number of Repins and Followers are the photos of my dog "Miki the Amstaff". Incredible but true, my dog is grabbing the lead on Pinterest.

    In two weeks I sold 2 coffee machines and 3 training programs made by me, so I think this is good for a new social network.

    You have to stimulate (lazy) people to click a Repin through quality images and attractive text. And then they will check also the other things around you have shared.

    For example I share images over Instagram and then I copy and paste the link straight in Pinterest to speed up things and share the image two times.

    This is just a basic tip to achieve the best, now and for the future.

    See you soon Bill!

    I personally don't like Pininterest. I took one look and thought it was a waste of time. I am not saying it cannot be a good marketing arena just not my cup of tea. I feel the same way about Twitter too. I love the Warrior forum, though...

    I'm getting 250-500 visits per day from Pinterest.

    Here's an article revealing how I'm doing it.
