When I encounter someone aggressively trying to sell a product or service on Pinterest I block them. It ruins the experience for me when it’s turned into advertizing.
I’m not there to shop but to share and explore common and new interests.
People can spot insincerity and if you have to fake being sincere then you may not benefit from Pinterest as a marketing tool.

Bump on Johns post above.

I’m having the exact same issue. I built 3 secret boards on a business account. Turned the boards on but have been unable to find any of the pins in search, any of the boards in search and I also can’t find the business account under pinners.

Thanks for that, sure it will be a help. My problem is that my two business pages that I set up today do not show in any search. My wife’s account can’t even like my pages for example. Any ideas? Both ate verified.

Adrienne,

Another really enjoyable learning article.It’s helpful to learn about mistakes we did’t even know existed.

What you say is logical, but we don’t necessarily realise what we are doing wrong until a knowledgeable person points it out.
many thanks.
Julia

In reply to Lee.

I’m glad you were able to get something out of my post! Pinterest can be an intimidating platform when you’re starting out. I hope you’re able to use it to its full potential! 🙂

Hi,adrienne
Very useful post I used it in reverse really so I could work out what I should be doing and not what I shouldn’t. I have loads of images on my site. I have just opened a Pinterest account and will be honest it was a bit baffling to me I couldn’t really get it.
Starting to figure it now your article helped. I didn’t know you could post videos as well that is going to help me loads as well. As I also have several on my site I would love to use.

So thanks for the info very helpful lee

Hey Ann, thank you for your comment! I’m glad that I was able to help. 🙂 I really think that Pinterest is the great underdog of social media marketing, there’s so much potential that isn’t being tapped into yet. Good luck!

Thanks Adrienne, I have been reading several of your articles and have learned a ton of stuff about Pinterest. I now feel like I can get more out of Pinterest’s traffic. Thanks a bunch!
