The Awesome Go Fund Me Platform | And Pinterest!!!

Hi,

Are you addicted to Pinterest?

Personally I am not (I do find it highly useful though), but every woman in my family can't seem to get off this Social Media pin board that is taking the world by storm. It really has hit a note and people are finding it useful on so many different levels...

For one it has been highly invaluable for me in researching new fundraising ideas, techniques, and tools! It is also proving hugely effective for Cause Marketing and Awareness for Charities and Nonprofits.

So why is it so effective?

Because it's the sharing of information through the focus on images... And people are far more responsive to images - as Facebook, Twitter, and Instragram have all shown.

In fact some people are now saying that it is going to be a better Search Engine than Google...

So if you and your organization are not on there yet, I'd suggest it's time to take that step. A great website for information on Pinteresting effectively is this one by Melissa Taylor...
