Tip of the Week:
Use the free Pin Alerts tool to find out who is pinning images from your website in real-time.
Go to pinalerts.com, set up an account, enter the url of your website and then choose how often you want to receive email notifications.
It only takes a few minutes to set up these alerts, and then you just check your email for them.
Note that Pinterest business accounts offer an analytics dashboard that tracks Pins from your website as well. But if you don’t have a business account on Pinterest or find it easier to check email rather than logging in to Pinterest’s analytics, then you’ll find this tool useful.
That’s it for this week. Stay connected on Facebook or Twitter to see all of the helpful resources we find and share each week!
