If you think I’m going to throw in a list of legit sites in this articles where you can do successful promotions, then no, this article isn’t for you. In this article I’m going to simply talk about one particular site that is relatively new and is already establishing itself as a dominant force to be reckoned with.
Pinterest. What Pinterest does is take the same old ball game and rehash its functionalities with little twists that make its overall presentation and usability unique and attractive. They have introduced the concept of Promoted pins and although still in its beta version, a selected number of businesses have been granted access on it.
With the initial beta version showing off the skills of Promoted Pins, it won’t be long before Pinterest start rolling out the feature for other businesses as well. Pinterest is quite a flexible platform giving enough maneuverable room to the users that businesses of any and every kind can fit right in and find their target audience at the same time.

If you are sitting on the fence wondering whether you should make the jump, chances are you will find that someone has already ‘pinned’ your website onto their Pinterest profile. Its as simple as that really. As a user, you log in, and start pinning things that you find interesting or share worthy. In a way its like hash tagging but at the same time far from it. The simplicity of the entire process makes sharing and visibility all the more prominent.
