Pinterest numbers are hard to ignore

After I have seen a few discussions here on Pinterest, and the argument that it is mostly "young, female, well-educated and have disposable income", I tend to think you guys are dismissing a lot of opportunities just because most of you sell "internet marketing" stuff and not tangible hard goods. Well, take note of the traffic and don't discount the audience.

Here is an eye opening factor:
"Pinterest shoppers, on average, spend nearly $170 per session, according to a study by RichRelevance, an e-commerce consultant, which tracked 700 million shopping sessions. In comparison, Facebook shoppers spend $95 per session, while Twitter shoppers spend $70."

Hmmm-Maybe a "side" business for the stuff you sell on eBay, or through affiliates, or drop shippers, would be easy to get links and pay no advertising (there is none on Pinterest--your image is linked back to your site).

Who is to say, an image with a website address (think--cute puppy with woman--headline says "she enjoys working at home because she has an internet business--OnlineBizMoney.com) or some such. Pin it under a board about pets.

As far as women with "disposable income", how do you think I-ME--got started online?

And one last note, yes I sell to this market and Pinterest give me sales all the time. One of my products is listed in the first 5 spots on Google for its keyword--the next five are Pins from one of my drop ship retailers.! The Pins are ranking, my friends.

Just didn't want anyone to discount a lucrative market and to remind all that times do change. Tomorrow could mean more opportunities to sell to men through Pinterest--so learning how it works and how you might use it may be worth reading the article.
JMHO :-)
