How to Make the Most Out of Your Pinterest Account

It doesn’t matter if it’s the latest tech, slow cooker recipes, or shabby chic do-it-yourself home decor — chances are, you have already created an account on Pinterest, and have already made a slew of boards surrounding your interests.

But Pinterest is far more than another social media network and a place to hold ideas you may never get around to actually completing. Read on for tips on how to make the most out of Pinterest.

It’s All About Organization
Pinterest is a tool that’s an incredibly beneficial way to keep things organized, without the mass of sticky notes. If you are moving to a new home or apartment, for example, you can pin related things that you want to remember for the next place. It could be a board devoted to moving, featuring tips and tricks for a seamless transition. You could create another board that deals with how you plan to decorate your bedroom or your home office.

Private Boards
You don’t have to air all of your boards. Sometimes, you want a little privacy — and as your followers grow, you may want to keep some things to yourself, like your obsession with Justin Bieber or Pokemon GO. Create a private board to hold things that you don’t want the world to see, or that you only want to share with a select few.

Collaborate on Projects
More than just a solo deal, Pinterest invites collaboration. If you were beginning a business, you could pin decorating and business ideas, then share the links with your partner or family member. This way, you are always on the same page, and can comment back and forth about the shared pin easily. Do you plan events? Do you have an upcoming wedding, a birthday party, or a family reunion? Whatever it is, you can use Pinterest to store those ideas and share them with relevant people.

Complete Your Profile
Don’t leave Pinterest browsers guessing who you are and what you are about. The best reason to have a complete profile is so that you will gain new followers. These people will likely be fellow pinners that are interested in what you are sharing — so you can then click on their profile to check out their shares, and view similar pins that reflect your style.
