{Review and Giveaway} Pinterest for Dummies by Kelby Carr

By Steph

We here at the Philly Burb Moms sites LOVE Pinterest. LOVE Love love it.  What's not to be crazy about?  Pretty pictures, craft and cooking inspiration, fashion trends, and tips that make your life so much easier.  I would be lying if I said that I haven't, from time to time, completely lost track of time (possibly for several hours) as I followed the Pinterest deer paths all over the internet.

As Pinterest is becoming quite the exciting new website, it's good to get learned on how to use it.  Enter Kelby Carr's new book, Pinterest for Dummies.

Seriously? This book is AMAZING.

Kelby takes you through the basics: what IS Pinterest, how to set up an account, how to add boards, and how to follow and get followed. There are more advanced ideas on how to market products and get your posts seen.

Her book will totally make you PINDOMINABLE!

As one who is an avid pinner, it was great to learn how to go about using Pinterest correctly.  Did you know that you are limited in how much you self-promote?  Are you very careful about crediting your sources?  All things we've all seen done poorly on Pinterest.  I'm often confused on how to understand my  statistics (there are numbers about how many people follow me, but those numbers differ from how many people follow my specific boards).  I loved that Kelby's book shed great light on this!

If you are interested in learning more about Pinterest, you can buy the book or win one here!  We are giving away one copy of Pinterest for Dummies!  Please fill out the form below for your chance to win!

Giveaway will run until Monday, June 11 at noon.

Good luck!  Happy winning!

Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of Pinterest For Dummies for my review.
