LOL - same here! There's SO much. I'll check everyone out. Maybe our paths can cross over there, too. :)

Y'all obviously know how to get around in Pinterest. I joined an can't figure it out. I'll get an e-mail that someone has joined me on Pinterest and I need to welcome them and I say to myself, "I'm so sorry, wish I could help you." There must be some directions somewhere but I haven't found them yet.

I'm on pintrest, but I have no idea what I am doing on it yet

Here are my boards - they might give you an idea of the sort of things you can do there - http://pinterest.com/michelebrenton/

I'm on Pinterest, here's my boards: http://pinterest.com/nicwas/boards/
I've found it's a fumble and see sort of site, but after fumbling for some time, I've found the easiest things is to set up a few board with different themes and names and just keep pinning to them. The PinIt facility is really easy. Set it up as one of your bookmarks, then just click on it every time you see an image anywhere you want to pin.

I find Pinterest to be kind of fun. I see it as not so much as a selling tool but as a platform-building tool and a way to show what I'm all about. Think if it as a show-don't-tell kind of thing! I agree that it's a stumble- and fumble around site, but while it doesn't offer the consistency of, say, Facebook, it still has its own value.

I'm at www.Pinterest.com/tanyajpeterson.

I have boards on all my books, awesome places to travel, vampires, Scotland, libraries, and crafts. I've also got a Pinterest contest going on right now.
Here are my boards:

Brilliant boards, Valerie.

are most of you using pinterest to promote your books by creating boards about or related to them? I am on pinterest but currently do more fun stuff. Thanks!

Here is mine. I agree on the "more a fun tool, interest builder" rather than selling tool. Just enjoy what others are doing too.

Same here! I'm thinking why am I creating a board? What am I pinning to what? lol

I've been using pinterest on and off for awhile. I do sometimes use it as a selling tool for myself and for indie author friends, but also just for fun. I try to balance between the two, but it really depends on the day.

It is a ton of fun, but you can definitely promote your books. I like doing both things, but finding cute pictures of puppies and awesome landscapes wins out. Most of the time. :)
