Pinterest is a unique website concept, but it's "pin" feature is just like Facebook, where anyone can share something they find interesting on the Internet to a Facebook wall.

Pinterest always links back to the original website with the content, just like Facebook does, so you will benefit from some hits and exposure through Pinterest and anyone viewing the images will know who created them.

But you are right, part of being an successful artist, is getting your art to be seen by as many eyeballs as possible. Having all your art locked in a closet will not benefit anyone. Pinterest is one more way to share and gain exposure to your talent.

Original Post: Announcing Pinterest Site Integration

Pinterest.com is a fairly new social media site that is growing like crazy. The basic concept is that you "pin" things that you find on the Internet that you like and want to share with others. It's a very visual site that is perfect for artists and photographers to get ideas from and to share their art/photos with others. If you are not familiar with Pinterest.com, you soon will be.

ArtWanted.com is happy to announce that we have added Pinterest as one of our main social media sites that we are integrated with.

What does this mean? Let us tell you...

1) As you upload artwork/photos to ArtWanted.com, you can now click on the new "Pinterest Icon" to quickly pin/share your art with your friends that follow you on Pinterest.

2) Other people that are surfing ArtWanted.com can also "pin" your artwork in the same way, which will promote your art to new audience and all images link back to your ArtWanted.com portfolio.

3) If you have Pinterest account, you can add this account to your "Social Media Settings" page, which will create a new "Follow Me on Pinterest" button on your main portfolio page.

These new Pinterest options will help make it easier to share your art to your Pinterest friends and promote your talent to a whole new audience. Enjoy!
