How To Use Pinterest For Network Marketing And Business

Pinterest is a visual search engine that can provide a lot of visibility for your network marketing (mlm or direct selling) business. People are often surprised when I recommend using Pinterest for network marketing and direct sales business growth, but when you look at the stats it all makes sense.According to Sprout Social, Pinterest has 291 million monthly active users and 1/3 of those live in the United States. 79.5% of users are female and only 27% of marketers used Pinterest as of January 2019. This means that not only is Pinterest a great platform to reach women but it’s also an unsaturated market for promoting your business. So how do you set up Pinterest for network marketing sales and prospecting?

If you’re in a skin care mlm, search for skin care. Then use the suggested keyword buttons to deepen your search. On each page, scroll down a bit to find pins that stand out to you and either pin or screen shot them for reference. You can use them as templates to create your first few pins in Canva. Model the look and fonts and use colors that stand out to you.
