Pinterest For The Clueless
The Basics:

- You create a profile on Pinterest
- Businesses will create an account or "pages"
- Pins
- These are things you find on Pinterest or other websites that you want to save
- Your own content that you've uploaded to Pinterest
- Boards
- People use Pinterest as an "idea board" for different things such as their college dorm, wedding, graduation party, workout ideas, dessert recipes, etc.
- Boards are a collection of pins you like and want to save to potentially buy or use as inspiration

Two Ways to Search On Pinterest
