Right in front of your desk, there\u2019s usually this corkboard stuck to the wall where you pin your favorite pictures, sayings you customized on a paper, clippings that caught your fancy on the newspaper and maybe a memorable note passed to you in class. While you have your personal pen holder and carefully chosen mouse pad, that pin board says more about your personality than anything. This is where Pinterest based their foundation on. That as people are moving their life from the real world to the virtual one, so should the concrete things in our life like our pin board.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Personalization<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019ve noticed, what made social media a growing archetype is that it can say more about people\u2019s personality than anything. That\u2019s the appeal. And that\u2019s the appeal of that virtual corkboard Pinterest that it has become one of the biggest social networks after just two years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Facebook<\/strong> and <strong>Twitter<\/strong> are personal about their thoughts. They may share a quote but it\u2019s still reflective of what\u2019s simmering beneath their surface. YouTube, on the other hand, is a performance art of their individualism. See those covers of just about any Billboard hit that became internet sensations? Those were more sincere self-expression than vying for fame.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pinterest<\/strong> is picture based. It gathers images and wall quotes people have assembled while trawling through the internet. These virtual things help define either who they really are or who they want to be.<\/p>\n<p><strong>E-commerce<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat worked for the current generation can work well with businesses. As we said, personalization is what appealed people to social media. And it\u2019s a more personal social media marketing that people are longing for. Most often than not, internet users have developed an allergy to sites that are advertising their products too much.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s revealing your soul that people get a kick out of. Nobody wants to read some content material on your page that sounds like a business letter. Or come across a robotic response to your comment where you need a Turing test to determine if it\u2019s really a human being who wrote it. It\u2019s your most candid words they prefer reading.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Easy Like Sunday Morning<\/strong><br \/>\nPinterest is probably the easiest way to be personal on the social media marketing. You just pin any picture you see on the internet that tickles your fancy. Since we\u2019re a Phoenix <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primeview.com\/digital-marketing\/seo\/\">SEO<\/a> consultant, a nice photograph of Arizona could be nice on our pin board. We could also put an image of a mobile phone.<\/p>\n<p>Or better yet, a picture of an iPhone with a dazzling Arizona sunset as wallpaper. Now that would really best describe the things that interest us. But while this is something personal for us, this could also pique the interest of other Pinterest users.<\/p>\n<p>The thing about Pinterest isn\u2019t because you want to catch the attention of potential clients. But because you just want to be expressive about what interests you. It\u2019s this more honest approach that makes people notice you. Forget for a second that you\u2019re drawing business attention. Just be yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Think of your college dorm or your old room in your family\u2019s house.
