Pinterest to get more traffic to your website
Pinterest is different from other social media and you need to understand how it works to get the most out of Pinterest.
You can follow users and they can follow you but it is not really about being friends or followers.
Pinterest is above all an image social media. It is not just images though as you can post videos and graphics are really popular. You need to post eye-catching images though as people are posting on Pinterest constantly. You only get one chance of being seen unless you get repined.
