Pinterest is especially popular among people, who are interested in design, fashion, travel, cooking and other creative fields. However, it can also be used for various other purposes, such as planning events, finding inspiration or simply saving favorite images.
How does Pinterest work?
Upon creating an account on Pinterest, users are given three empty boards:
- My boards: This board displays all the boards, that the user has created.
- Pinterest for you: This board shows content, that Pinterest recommends based on the user's interests.
- Search: This board displays search results.
The user can create new boards according to their interests. For example, if a user is interested in fashion, they can create a board named "Fashion Inspirations". On this board, they can add images of fashion outfits, fashion designers or articles about fashion.
Users can add content to Pinterest from their own sources or from other websites. If a user wants to add content from their own sources, they can upload it to their computer or mobile device and then add it to Pinterest. If a user wants to add content from other websites, they can use the "Pin it" button. This button is usually located in the bottom left corner of the image.
