   Is there a specific strategy? What pictures should I use? How do I get grouped up with related pins?
   
   Also, I got my first google search view on my 10 types of abusive men article, I'm ecstatic!

      There are several schools of thought. I recommend researching for yourself and finding out what works best for you. I find Pinterest valuable because it ranks #2 among my traffic sources.

   There's no official Pinterest guide, although I have said to HP that one would be useful, in my opinion.
   
   There are some good independent guides online though (as well as some crap). Make sure you find something relatively recent.
   
   The HP niches have a presence on Pinterest.

   I don't.
   
   I tried to get a grip on the Pinterest thing early in my HP journey but it never translated into enough traffic to be worth the trouble, so I gave up tryin' .

      That's my experience generally.
      
      I think the scope is narrow, partly because there are only certain topics that work.
      
      It's like Medium, where in theory you can write about anything but in reality, you won't get many views for most topics.
      
      Pinterest material is best if it relates to the home, or things like crafts, fashion. The site is also generally female-orientated.
      
      If you look at their suggestions for topics to pin, it's often things like interior design and beauty advice.
      
      I'm currently trying to just plug the few areas I have that (kind of) fit their agenda and seeing how it goes.

         The other frustrating thing about Pinterest is that it used to be more "passive." You could just pin your stuff and walk away. But then they changed that so their algorithm rewards "fresh content," effectively meaning that you have to keep pinning regularly.

   Pinterest...
   Take a snap shot if possible..
   Then go back and edit your post.
   
   When editing you can add a website address.
