      Pinterest For Authors - Mark J Dawson

      Introduction

      When thousands of books are released on Amazon each week, how do you stand out in the crowd? Have you considered using Pinterest as part of your social media marketing outreach? There’s world of opportunity out there for authors on Pinterest if you know how to use it.

      Many authors have a limited or zero marketing budget – which is why it’s a great time to learn about Pinterest and how you can use it to increase exposure and sales. Best of all, every author can use Pinterest for free. There’s no need to pay for advertising to get results using Pinterest.

      So, let’s dive under the hood and take a closer look at how Pinterest can help expand your author business.

      Chapter 1

      WHAT IS PINTEREST?

      Pinterest is a social network and visual search engine that allows people to share and discover new images for posting (known as ‘pinning’) to their own or other’s boards. And it’s full of people looking to buy stuff, including your book.

      Authors use Pinterest for many reasons:

      to research and collect images that inspire stories and books

      to drive online traffic to their author website, social media platforms, and sites like Amazon, Kobo, and iBooks

      to improve website SEO (search engine optimization) so more people can find your books and resources online. While most people know Pinterest as a fantastic visual platform, many authors don’t realize Pinterest is now one of the main social media platforms driving internet search traffic to websites.

      as a platform substitute where no author website exists
