Social media & networking doesn’t have to be all about status updates and sharing links. After all – it is called social MEDIA.
Think of how you can creatively engage with your friends and followers through images. There are some fun ways you can interact with your social friends – find a way that works for you.
Here are a few places you can explore with:
Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, Tumblr, Daily Booth
Let me share with you my two favorite ways and how to add them to your Facebook Page in less than 5 minutes each.
Pinterest
A place to collect the things you love around the internet. Just named the 3rd largest social network, if you have yet to check it out, do so now!
How many times have you visited a cute website and wanted to share an image or snippet that you found? With Pinterest you can show off your finds on your networks. Show your friends your style and what you love. Allow them to connect with you through images. Create your own virtual vision board.
You can add a badge to your website or plugin to display your latest pics.
To add Pinterest to your Facebook Page, watch this video below.
Insert this into the url box after installing the app — m.pinterest.com/YOUR_USER_NAME/

A fun creative way to share your updates in images matched with a short description and fun image filter.
I love this app and using it with my iPhone. This week we welcomed Android users to Instagram as well!
Create buzz while you are hosting an event or launching a product with a series of pics! Show your business behind the scenes, your fans will love this! Ask your followers for feedback through your account too.

Social Media wasn’t created for people to just share text and what they are eating. Have fun and be creative. Standing out from the crowd is what will keep you on the mind of your future customers.

Pinterest is my fav tool by far! I see why it is going to pass up Facebook!
Thank you for this helpful tip! I went to add the Pinterest tab and my options to choose a page are showing only the pages I admin. Do you know why my personal page isn’t an option? (I am signed is as me.)
Hi Lora! You cannot add this to your personal profile, only pages…. Hope that helps! xo, a

Hey Ali can you link your Pinterest business page to your FB business page?
By link what do you mean? You are essentially adding Pinterest to Facebook when you install this app on a page! Let m eknow! xo
Thank you so much for posting this. Quick question though. I manage several pages and would like to do this for more than one. How can I do that?
Hi Christine! Glad you enjoyed it! You will want to keep coming back to it for each page for Instagram and for Pinterest, you’ll want to go to each page to install it!
