Anita Campbell, Editor in Chief, Small Business Trends
Everything I read in this book seems like common sense. The thing is, its not actually common knowledge its just that Cario writes in such an accessible, clear, and open way that it seems like shes telling you something you already know. Other writing Ive read on leveraging hot new social media trends usually feels already outdated, kind of hokey, or too slick and salesy. This book does not fall into any of those traps. It is instead a totally refreshing take that resonates with my own experience as a Pinterest-user and gets me excited about expanding the way I think about the sites possibilities!

There are three or four key reasons why you should read Pinterest Marketing: An Hour A Day by Jennifer Evans Cario. First, Pinterest is one of the top four social media websites along with Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, according to Experian Hitwise US. Second, Jennifer explains Pinterests unique appeal and fundamentals, then shows you how to develop a strategic marketing plan, set up an account, curate winning content, find followers, and track and monitor your Pinterest traffic. Third, her book is written in the popular An Hour A Day format, which uses a detailed how-to approach with case studies, tips, and interviews. And fourth, none of the illustrations in her book show Ohio State beating Michigan 26 to 21 this year in The Game. Since Im a Wolverine and shes a Buckeye, Im very grateful that Jennifer didnt pin any images, videos and other objects about our football rivalry to her pinboard.
