| kimvij

This week is packed full of Pinterest Chat Adventures for me.  I thought I’d share with you all that is happening this week focused on Pinterest.  These chats provide several opportunities for  free learning about Pinterest.  This is information that I often share with my Pinterest Clients as a consultant.  Many of these upcoming chats will answer the question….

Can Pinterest work for your online Business?

I’m pretty sure the answer is YES and here’s why…

  • Pinterest has the ability to help you build your influence and authority online.
  • Pinterest provides you with opportunities to highlight your story with visual marketing.
  • Even as a small business on a low marketing budget, there are a variety of ways to manage it including using Pinterest schedulers.

Here’s where I’ll be sharing Pinterest Tips this week!
