Just recently I started getting involved with Pinterest wondering if there was anyway I could use it in my online business. Ironically in my research I got hooked on it. It’s just fun to pin your favorite interest in one place.
It got me thinking though. How many times have you found yourself at a loss for content for your blog. I know I have sat in front of my computer for hours without having anything worthwhile saying.
I Never thought I would find good blog Ideas on Pinterest

I found a world of content on Pinterest covering just about every single topic imaginable. I have always used flicker and zemanta to find images to inspire my blog post. I think though Pinterest is my new favorite place to visit and get inspired.
So while this blog post isn’t that long I wanted to share with you a new place to discover if you haven’t already checked it out..

Just learned about pinterest too. Looks really cool. As I am sure this will gonna proves helpful in many ways. Anyway thanks a lot for this useful sharing.
Your welcome!
I love Pinterest!!! I love finding those funny animal pictures. I have never thought to use it when I can’t think of article ideas. That is a new and great idea because when so many people put creative things on one sight it makes for a very nice creative inspiration.
My thoughts exactly 🙂 ..
Thanks for stopping by and commenting Elena.
I have heard of it, but until recently I never really took notice. Thanks for stopping by and commenting..
I haven’t used Pinterest yet, but I know about all its benefits and interesting opportunities. I’m just going to ask for an invitation for this social network
You brought up a good point.
You have to be invited to use the service. I found that if you look on the home page there is place where you can ask for an invitation..
Pinterest to help with blog ideas. On has to take big steps to compete with the other social media giants. But, they are making those strides!
Hi David, the one thing i do like about Pinterest is that you really can get a sense of what a persons personality is like based on their pins..
For anyone with a visual mind, Pinterest is simply fantastically inspirational. I think of it as an art gallery of ideas!
Thanks for stopping commenting James…
It is very important to take advantage of every type of outlet available. To reach the widest variety of users, you want to expand your social media to reach all different types of people. Not all users on Pinterest would enjoy Facebook, or Twitter so you may be reaching a fresh audience.
Hi Mika, that’s what I was thinking myself 🙂
I really heard a lot about Pinterest, and created my account there as well. It’s certainly a great place where you find some amazing and mind-blowing images. It’s really a fun place where you can spend hours by surfing images and images.
Hi Andy,
That’s what sucked me in.. I was mindless surfing it and found i was actually enjoying myself.
Pinterest is really a great place, becoming one of my fav too…I have started using it some time ago, but its fun to see so many images and gain some ideas…Its is growing with a good pace so it makes sense to ride with the tide and create boards. It can get lot of traffic to the blog.
Hi Sanjeev,
Thanks for sharing your experiences..
I haven’t started looking into Pintrest more closely yet. I am sure it’ll be the next best thing though and it can be seen around in other social media. I will definitely get to know it more closely…addiction or not…here I come!
🙂 That’s the spirit Kulta!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts..
Thanks for commenting and sharing Troy…
Most of the buzz surrouding Pinterest – at least from the internet marketing community – is its ability to drive a lot of traffic. I like that your posts presents another possible use of the site: inspiration. Being able to browse a site where so many people are posting images that display their interests and trending topics is a great opportunity for bloggers.
Thanks for pointing this out and sharing how you have been using the site!
Hi Melanie, thanks for the kinds words 🙂
I didnt think that there was room for another super power in the social network scene but look how quickly this beast has stormed the scene, I have managed to avoid it until now but I am starting to think any more avoidance would actually be counter productive.
Hi Larry,
I heard alot about pinterest last week therefore yesterday I requested them to send me invitation and I recieved invitation from them now and I am willing to explore it. I try to find out new ideas from it and then let you know how it works for me.
Great article Larry!
I’ve become a huge Pinterest fan… Mostly because of how easily you group and share content that you enjoy. I use Pinterest as a repository for my favorite social media articles each week.
I call it the Content Creation Curation. Pretty cool.
Thanks

Great info.
I work in the anti aging / medical field.
Pinterest might be one more tool to represent my services, such as “before and after” images.
I will be definitely using it.
Pinterest, one of the most aspiring web tool for social marketing, unlike twitter that limits the users ability to promote his/her links only to his followers, and the same issue with Facebook, limited also with the friends that you have, but the best advantage of Pinterest is that, it is an image sharing website, therefore more authenticity.
Pinterest sounds fun! I heard that Pinterest is one of the best sites to promote a blog.
