Getting Started With Pinterest

There hasn’t been a day gone by this week without someone mentioning Pinterest, both on the blogs I follow and students on courses I’ve been teaching. And it’s not surprising, statistics are showing that it is a massive driver of web traffic. I only adopted it when it was added as a Timeline app on Facebook but can see it’s attraction immediately. There are lots of clever things you can do with it for business but this week I thought I’d show you the basics.

I show you:
- How to find people to follow
- How to follow people
- How to set up boards
- How to pin
- How to install the Pinterest bookmarklet

I’ll be following this up with a more advanced tutorial in a few weeks time. Let me know if you have any questions in advance and I’ll try and include the solutions in my next video.

How To Create Twitter Lists

We follow so many people on Twitter that it can be hard to keep up with the people that really matter to us.  Customers, friends, competitors and peers are all important people for us to follow but unless we can cut out the noise their tweets could get lost in our streams.
This is where Twitter lists come in.  They allow us to filter content and just see the specific users we want to at one time.  They help us build relationships.  This week I show you how to set up Twitter lists.
