We all know Pinterest, a colorful website that allows you to collect and upload pictures of your pets, socks, and sunset-filled waterfalls.
But, have you heard the news that the sizeable chunk of sales websites, Amazon, eBay, website shops, Etsy, and them together - get that traffic from Pinterest?
Why? People like images. But unlike Instagram, you can link an original website link alongside every pin.
You can pin all your favorite power tools, car parts, socks, shoes, watches, mobile phones - and they get re-shared from within your public board.
What content to place there?
Pretty much everything visual - pin an image, GIFs, short videos - and it can be custom tailored with title, description, link, comment section, etc.
Do you have a HIVE story? Visualize and pin it.
Do you have an elaborated blog with the original photography? Take a cover image and pin it with the link back to your content.
You know how to create an info-graphic with Canva or Collage Maker, do it and pin it. Link back to the source material it discusses - HIVE app, alternative front-end, an application...
You know how to create an animation - the same thing.
Trick to get re-pined?
People come there for personal interest, crafts, DIY, a hobby, a shopping item, or something visually appealing. If you have that in your portfolio and skill under your belt to advertise, you should have it. Pinterest wastes no time but may yield traffic.
