Thank Karleen for the great information on Pinterest. After much recsareh today it seems on the more effective ways to market yourself on Pinterest is to host contests. Better Homes and Gardens has a great example of a contest they are running and I plan to use it as a model to launch my own in a few days. I will let you know how it goes!Professor Scott
This is a goldmine!! Thank you!
Thanks for stopping by. I’m glad you enjoyed the post.
What a great idea for a post. I’m having so much funny looking through all of them. Thanks for the great ideas.
Thanks so very much! I followed them all.
Thanks for the Pinterest board links. Following them all. I submitted a few of my own that I hope you will consider for your directory. Thanks!
I will definitely include these in the directory. I’m glad you submitted them.
Have you every come across literature based nature study ideas? That would interest me greatly since I love books and I teach a nature study class.
I recommend books to accompany nature activities on this Pinterest board: http://pinterest.com/delightchildbks/a-book-a-project/. I’ll be on the lookout for others as I create the Pinterest directory. If any readers have Pinterest boards to recommend, submit them under the topic “storytime ideas.”
Oh my word! What a brilliant post! I think I am about to lose a LOT of time here…
Thanks, Zoe! I lost a bit of time engaged in “research” for this post.
