Pinterest ? The New Visual Addiction

Do you ever feel a strong urge to update or check Facebook?

Is the desire to Tweet overwhelming?and you have this compulsion to ?Tweet? for no particular reason?

Are you starting to wonder if you have a social media addiction?

Well joining the self help group ?social media addicts anonymous? may not be far away as a recent study by Chicago University has?revealed that social media is in fact more addictive than sex, alcohol and cigarettes!

Pinterest the New Addiction

Pinterest is the new addiction in town that has everyone blogging, tweeting and sharing the news on Facebook and it is the new ?hot? social network on the block.

It is a social media network that cannot be ignored.

According to Shareaholic?s recent report that used findings from more than 200,000 publishers and 260 million monthly unique visitors, it is driving more referral traffic than Google plus, LinkedIn and YouTube combined.

How do I use Pinterest?

You would think that social media marketing wouldn?t be a very visual topic that would use the Pinterest platform very effectively. In fact there is almost a visual element to anything and you may have noticed the ?Infographics? trend that has rapidly grown over the last 12 months which has surprised me.

What I am trialling on Pinterest is pinning ?Infographics? that are relevant to my target audience and currently with 60 pins and over 550 followers it is highly apparent that it taps into this visual touch point.

So I would encourage you to have some fun with Pinterest and tap into your creative side and find visual elements of your brand that will inspire and drive some sharing.

How are you using Pinterest?
