    thank you! I think that this is the type of articles that we need online. not much boilerplate but something concise. I’ve been on pinterest for a few months now. I’ve not been able to land any sales from it yet. but I don’t sell products. only services: photography. since my target is local, I try to network with locals. but my locals are a little clickish and I’m not part of the clique. I’m an outsider.

      Souleye,

      Thanks for commenting. Post your photos on Pinterest and invite the locals to Pinterest. Post your pinboard so I can follow you.

      Daisy,

      If you have B2B products, LinkedIn is the perfect place to post them but you will want to do it in a way that is helpful to the community and not spammy. Be a contributor to your groups and add value to the conversations. I will be writing a post on LinkedIn marketing next week.

      Good luck with your business.

      Gina
