First of all, on the profile, feature your business name. Because of this, your business will get much more exposure. Your business name should be your username - if it is not taken, grab it immediately! By doing this, what you pin will be associated with your business every time you pin something. Find something related to your business, and use that, if your business name is already being used. Regardless of what you use, make sure that, under the "name" section of the profile, the business name is listed so that people can identify you with your pins. It is so important to comment on other peoples pins. Pinterest is very similar to a blog when you do this. You are just liking what other people have posted or pinned. When you comment on the pins that are on the other peoples' boards you both let them know that you exist and prove that you are interested in what they are interested in. As with blog commenting, though, make sure that the comments you leave are actually relevant. Do not simply write 'nice pin' or 'looks interesting' or you will get labeled as a spammer.

You need to connect your PInterest account to both your Twitter and your Facebook accounts. This way the things you pin for your business will be communicated to the people who follow you through these other portals. It's also a good way to get your Facebook and Twitter followers to follow you on the Pinterest system. By marketing your business across different platforms simultaneously, you're following on each account will continue to grow. A great way to get cross traffic is to put your social media icons up in each of your profiles. This way, people visiting one profile can go to the other social media sites.

It is a great tool, Pinterest, for a variety of reasons. This can be very useful for you to use, especially if you get there before Internet marketers saturated it. It is something that IMers will overtake before you know it, which is why you need to act fast. It can certainly help you make a name for your business, which is why you need to utilize this resource as quickly as possible.

And as you use the system, and get your name out there, you will certainly begin to prosper.
