THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. WINNER SELECTED SHORTLY.
When I got the opportunity to review “Pinterest for Dummies” by Kelby Carr, I jumped at the chance! In case you don’t know Pinterest, this is an amazing tool that lets you “pin” pictures to a board a you create. These pictures mostly come from around the web … so when you find an article that you love with a great photo, you can pin. I use my Pinterest board most frequently for pinning luscious looking recipes that are gluten-free. The image links to the original content. You can also upload pictures to Pinterest.
This book will teach you creative, strategic ways to use Pinterest, plus I was interested in more advanced functionality. No worries there. In “Pinterest for Dummies,” Ms. Carr takes you from beginner set up all the way through suggested uses, community building, and socializing strategies. Since this is a “Dummies” series book, you don’t need to know a thing to get started, basically a computer, internet, and a social media account will get you going.
I’m always concerned with legalities of what I’m doing on the web and Ms. Carr details exactly the limitations and regulations of using Pinterest, complete with etiquette rules so you don’t make any major screw ups. I recommend this book. It’s a quick read and covers everything you need to know about Pinterest.
