Pinterest is one of the top social networks today with over 30 billion pins. In case you are unfamiliar with Pinterest, it is a visual social network where people pin things that are of interest to them. It is basically just a virtual pin-board. It is reported that there are over 50 million users worldwide which makes for great opportunities to promote your business.
