Pinterest and social media: Pinterest is now one of the fastest growing social networking sites and it is no wonder that it is so. Social media platform gained vast importance with the way it was able to bring success to different businesses and corporates. There are in fact, thousands of websites that have claimed that they got much success, i.e. increase in their leads and traffic with the help of this platform. There is of course the reason why it is. Social networking sites have nearly 200 million of accounts of people from different backgrounds, social and professional interests. About 80% of the world’s population is aware of this term and its concept and they have their accounts on at least one social networking sites, while many of them hold their personal accounts in more than two sites. Facebook and Twitter are the ones that are the most popular with Facebook crossing the count of 150 million last year. However it seems that this year is going to be favorable for Pinterest and it is going to get similar success shortly like Facebook and Twitter. The concept of Pinterest is very much different than the ones like Twitter, LinkedIn or Facebook.

The present: In this social networking site, the images speak and explain everything. It is emerging as the one of the best sites for acquiring links and it enables you to share your recent products on it through their images. Businesses need to ‘pin’ images that they want others to see and share. Clicking on any of the images takes the person directly to the source, i.e. the particular web page. Thus, in this manner, you can improve the traffic to a particular section in your website without much difficulty.

How it has done so far: Pinterest can surely sustain the cut throat competition that prevails among the social networking sites on the World Wide Web. With the help of the funds it really gets much financial backing. According to the reports of last year in March, Pinterest gained as much as $ 37 million and by now the count has gone much higher for sure. There is this particular model of it, called ‘invite only’ through which it has gained much benefit as well. It seems that the platform is becoming exponentially popular among people and also corporates. Hence it is wise to have your presence on this site as well and if you already have one, try to work on it, as much as you can. It is very interesting to know that Pinterest has gained more than 10 million users, and it is the only one to gain this number of users within a short period of time.

More: It is certain that Pinterest will find more success and will be counted among the most important social networking sites for any business. However, it has still certain hurdles to overcome that has been set for it by others that are still ahead of it.
