Intro to Pinterest

Maybe you already have a personal Pinterest account, but did you know that Pinterest can help engage your readers? Well, it can! Pinterest can be a tool that helps identify what common interests you and your audience share, and as a side benefit, provides inspiration and organization for your blog. As a writer, you may already use a blog to communicate with readers, but do you ever struggle to create content that resonates with them? Pinterest can help train your mindset to focus on reader needs. When Pinterest and blogging join forces, you can generate new content ideas. Plus, unlike other social media platforms, Pinterest is a search engine, which means your content won’t expire. Learn more about Pinterest in this hands-on class and how you can both enjoy this platform and make it work for you.
