This has been probably the best guide I've read on Pinterest. It definitely gave me some ideas on how to approach it better! Thanks for creating it! Your examples were really what brought how to use this platform home! Great job!

You have made some very good points here Beverley. Most people's initial instinct is to use Pinterest purely for the purposes of trying to get traffic or earn revenue through product posts, however it can be an excellent medium for research and idea generation in pretty much any niche.
What you can also do is see what other images people are repinning...this will give you a good idea as to what "hot button" visuals work within a particular industry...and use related images within your pages and promotions. Having "hot button" images on your site can make the difference between someone reading your content and someone leaving!
