How to Use Pinterest Without a Blog

July 28, 2021 Pinterest Tips

I’m a big fan of blogging. I have a lifestyle blog, I blog about Pinterest here and I also write blog posts for other people in the wedding industry. Blogging is a great way to spread your message, as well as getting more people to your website and increasing brand awareness (plus it’s the SHIZ for SEO).
