If you thought that pinterest was just for pinning your favorite fashions or receipies you are so wrong...

Pinterest is now the number three most-popular social network in the U.S., behind Facebook and Twitter, according to Experian Hitwise. A new report from the researcher shows Pinterest received 21.5 million visits during the week ending Jan. 28, a nearly 30-fold increase over a comparable weeks..

 Ways to build your presence on pinterest

1. Create boards with keywords rich and some that are fun

2. Pin other peoples content 80% more of then than your own

3. Describe your boards in sentences, with key words placed logically

4. Comment on lots of other pins, including those not in a related topic to your own - the only criteria being the pin has to genuinely appeal to you.

5. Invite your clients to join you on pinterest

6. Reference you boards on your blog - link back and forth - A link from Pinterest is of high authority, a page rank of 6, which is a good thing.( you can embed a pin on your blog)- For an example below a silly pin called my style - and I have 70 followers - from doing nothing...

7.  When people comment on one of your pins, comment back...Conversation is good...

8. Keep the quality of what you pin at a level of things you really like and are authentically interested in.  For an example : 

  • Pin Your listings in say Barnegat
  • Pin area photo's of Barnegat
  • Pin Shopping experiences in Barnegat
  • Pin Shore Area

9.  Tell People what you like about the things that you pinned, filling out the description and add a hashtag where appropriate, e.g. #great house # great neighbor hood

10. In your themed boards, consider things that are unusual yet relevant #1 agency in the area etc.

11. Collaborate on board and/or invite others to pin on a similar topic to build great resources.

12 Add a $ to your description if you are selling property

Thanks Corrine, good post. I set up a Pintrest account sometime ago and being Male and after viewing several other Pintrest pages didn't expect it to have much of and impact. I was quite surprised to see how quickly Google picked up my Pintrest stream about Real Estate. Just from a Google Juice point of view I'm an advocate. Bill
