4.0 out of 5 stars A great starting point for anyone new to Pinterest May 20, 2012

If you want to learn the basics of Pinterest and how to use it to increase traffic to your website and positively publicize the goods and services you offer there, this is the book for you. In Chapter 1 you'll learn what Pinterest is (and isn't), who can use it and why they are doing so, and how it differs from other bookmarking sites like Delicious or Digg. Also in this chapter is a fairly in-depth look at Pinterest's terms of service and rules around fair use, copyright infringement and objectionable content.

Chapter 2 will get you pinning with the best of them as you learn how to pin, re-pin, create and manage boards and link up Pinterest with your Twitter and Facebook accounts. The authors offer tips on who you should follow (and why) as well as explaining the types of interactions that happen within Pinterest and what to do if you think a pin in some way violates Pinterest's Terms of Service. There are also tips for how Pinterest interactions differ from those on other social media sites and what constitutes good etiquette.

Chapter 3 is where you get to the really exciting stuff. You'll learn how to extend the reach of Pinterest beyond the boards you've created. The section on SEO is full of good hints and tips and in 'Success with your Pinning' there are several innovative ideas on how to use Pinterest as a tool for various projects both personal and group in scope.

Finally, Chapter 4 is your call to action. Here the authors lay out the steps you need to follow to get your pinning started, create irresistible boards, tweak your pinning as you go and learn best practices - as well as avoid common pitfalls - from your fellow pinners (especially the superstars).... Unlike Pat Parkinson (see location 706), the authors of Pin It to Profit don't think that it's too late to join in the fun. With this ebook at your elbow you too can use Pinterest to increase traffic to your website, enhance your social media profile and begin, as the founders of Pinterest say in their mission statement, "to connect everyone in the world through the 'things' they find interesting."

My wife's been into Pinterest since forever, but I always just dismissed it for some reason (gender bias, probably)... well, I was wrong. It's more than a "pretty collection of stuff". I can admit it. And this book has sorted me out in that regard. As a Pinterest newbie, the DeWolfes and Robinson have produced just the book to push me into this fantastic new forum, augmenting my marketing suite of tools. Thanks folks!

Downloaded as a free book. Would I recommend you go out and buy this book? No, you can probably find similar information on the web.
