Why Do You Want To Use Pinterest?

Pins can be anything, really : a celebrity picture, a D.I.Y tutorial, a picture of Iceland... Possibilities are endless!

Now what does it have to do with your online business or owning a website? Well, these pins are like bookmarks that point back to the sites they came from. Your site(s).

When you add the Pin It button (explained at a later stage) to your website, people will see a little "p" appear on each picture or video that you've inserted in your articles. If they like a picture/video they will know they can click the red logo and instantly pin it to their Pinterest account.

Always keep in mind that people who use Pinterest love to add things to their boards!

Pinterest Can Generate Great Traffic

Now what happens is that people can "follow" each other on Pinterest like here on Wealthy Affiliate or any social media. When someone in their circle pins something they will see what they pinned appear on the main page! If they click on the picture (out of curiosity or sometimes by accident lol) they will end up ... on your website! Isn't it awesome?

These are the latest pictures pinned by my contacts ! If I click on something that picks my curiosity, I will end up on someone's website. I am going to click on the mango salad at the top for instance, because I love cooking. =) It will show me the picture of the mango salad. Then if I click again on the picture it will open the website where it's from !

So it is very important that you add as many beautiful, relevant and good quality images to your website! =) It'll attract people and generate traffic.

Google Analytics

You are all more or less familiar with Google Analytics, depending on how far you are with Kyle's lessons. Google Analytics can show you your traffic source. For instance I see that Pinterest is #3 in my traffic source :
