I thought this book was really well written. The end of every chapter had action plans for you to follow and execute. It has tons of ideas for what to pin, how to organize, etc. It does seem to get repetitive after a little while. It has a ton of ideas and tips that I will be implementing. Very useful.

If you’re looking for a book about how to market your business with Pinterest, you’ve come to the right place – this is easily the definitive book on the subject, and it stands the test of time remarkably well considering how much Pinterest has evolved in the time since its initial publication.

Worth noting here is the way in which Beth’s passion shines through in what she wants – it makes for delightful reading, because you can sense that the author is having fun. That’s the way that I’ve always liked to learn – it makes it much more memorable, and you’re going to want to remember this.

In fact, it’s packed full of helpful tips on everything from the optimisation of your pins to the processes involved with developing a full strategy for the social network. And you do want to develop one of those, right? After all, when used correctly, Pinterest can be one of the most effective drivers of social media referral traffic to your website, particularly if you you’re an online retailer.

Good intro for the newbie who has never used pinterest before. If you are familiar, you have probably figured out ways to incorporate it into your social media strategy. Pinterest is a pretty simple platform for sharing your goods and events online. If you are intimidated by new forms of social media, this book can certainly help alleviate those.

It is a great book if you are just getting your feet wet with Pinterest. There wasn't a great deal of information that differentiated itself from other social media marketing books. The "engage the reader" strategic outlook applies to all social media platforms, and I was hoping to find more information that set Pinterest apart from other social media platforms when it came to marketing.

Interesting book for those who never use this social platform. Maybe to much information about how to do common things. But it also contains many great ideas how to use Pinterest in different type of businesses

Very useful introduction to using Pinterest as part of promoting a business or organization. A few things have changed a bit since it was written, but not a lot, and the overall strategies presented are sound.

it was an insightful amount of info that I did not realize was available through such an easy site like Pinterest for small businesses. It was somewhat helpful, but I am sure that with a bit more time to dedicate to it, that the advice in the book would be more beneficial in the long run.

I bought this book after attending a webinar by the author. It's a good introduction to Pinterest and I especially liked the "action plans" at the end of each chapter.
