At the start, when Pinterest has launched in 2010 it is not a friendly user social media site. At that time Pinterest has not allowed its users to create accounts on Pinterest. i.e., you can create a Pinterest account only when an existing user of Pinterest will invite you.
But, with time, Pinterest observed that its competitor’s social media site’s followers and active user accounts are increasing rapidly. Moreover, On more profound research, Pinterest observes that other social media sites give multiple options to create an account.
At last, On that research, Pinterest now gives multiple options to create an account just like other social media sites do. Yes, now you don’t need any invitations from an existing user.
What Is Pinterest & Why You Need To Create an Account?
Before going towards creating a Pinterest account. Let’s take a bird’s eye at Pinterest that what actually it is and why you need to use Pinterest.
Pinterest is a social media site whose algorithm is based on visuals. So People used Pinterest to get inspiration for their daily life, home decoration ideas, new food recipes, and much more. All ideas posted on Pinterest are called Pins. And all these Pins are saved in categorized boards.
Other social media sites use hashtags (words after the # sign) to get more traffic on a post. But in Pinterest hashtags are not much effective as Pinterest’s algorithm is based on keywords. And another marvelous feature of Pinterest is you can give external links directly in Pin’s description. Which is very helpful in the growth of your online business.
These things make Pinterest different from other social media sites and encourage you to use Pinterest.
